Pursuant to these rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures that are normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. Interim operating results are not indicative of operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other future periods.
We translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at that time. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business or as new information becomes available. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09), which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures through the standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our income tax related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which introduces new reportable segment disclosure requirements related to significant segment expenses and also expands reportable segment disclosure requirements for interim reporting. The amendment will require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and are included within each reportable segment’s profits and losses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-07 will have on our segment related disclosures.

Note 3. Business Combinations
BigShots Acquisition
On February 27, 2024, we completed a series of acquisitions of certain assets from Invited, Inc. (“Invited”), the largest owner and operator of private golf and country clubs in the United States, and affiliates of Invited, related to its BigShots Golf business (“BigShots”), which consisted of certain domestic venue locations of the BigShots brand as well as additional venue-related assets and development rights related to potential new venue locations which we intend to help expand our leadership position in off-course golf. The acquisitions were completed in three separate transactions, which occurred on November 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, and February 27, 2024 (the “Acquisition Dates”) for an aggregate total purchase price of $53.1 million, and were funded with existing cash on hand. Together, the three acquisitions were accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill arising from the acquisitions was assigned to our Topgolf operating segment and primarily consists of operational synergies. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the aggregated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the transactions as of their respective acquisition dates based on the purchase price allocation (in millions):

Leases Under Construction
Our minimum capital commitment for leases under construction, net of reimbursements from third-party real estate financing partners, was approximately $70.0 million as of June 30, 2024. As we are actively involved in the construction of these properties, we recorded $72.0 million in construction costs within property, plant and equipment and $15.6 million in construction advances from the landlords in connection with these properties as of June 30, 2024. We determine the lease classification for these properties at the end of the construction period. Upon lease commencement, the initial base term of these leases is normally 20 years, with most having options to extend for additional terms of up to 20 years. As of June 30, 2024, we had $310.8 million of future lease obligations related to four venues subject to non-cancellable leases that have been signed but have not yet commenced.

2023 U.S. Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
We have an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders, which provides for senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $525.0 million and consists of U.S., Canadian, German, and U.K./Dutch facilities, in each case, subject to borrowing base availability under the applicable facility. Amounts outstanding under the 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on certain of our assets and certain of the assets of our subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and a second-priority lien on substantially all of our and such subsidiaries’ other assets. The 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions, as well as customary events of default. We are also subject to compliance with a 1.0:1.0 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio during certain specified periods in which our borrowing base availability falls below 10.0% of the maximum aggregate principal amount of the facility. The interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings under the 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility may fluctuate depending on our “Availability Ratio,” as defined in the loan and security agreement governing the 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility, and any unused portions of the 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility are subject to a monthly fee of 0.25% per annum.
On July 2, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility in order to, among other things, replace Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) as a reference rate for Canadian dollar-denominated loans under the Canadian facility with a term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA)-based rate.
2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility
We have an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility”) with the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, which provides a line of credit to our Japan subsidiary of up to 6.0 billion Yen (or approximately $37.3 million), is subject to borrowing base availability under the facility and is secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and accounts receivable of our Japan subsidiary which are subject to certain restrictions and covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics. The interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility is subject to an effective interest rate equal to the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.80%.
The following table summarizes borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2024, availability and interest rates for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024, and consolidated available liquidity related to our short-term credit facilities as of the six months ended June 30, 2024. Consolidated available liquidity is comprised of cash on hand and amounts available under our 2023 U.S. ABL Credit Facility and 2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility, less outstanding letters of credit and outstanding borrowings.

Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
2023 Term Loan B
In March 2023, as part of a comprehensive debt refinancing plan (the “Refinancing Plan”), we entered into a senior secured term loan B facility (as amended, the “2023 Term Loan B”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,250.0 million, which was issued net of an original issuance discount of $12.5 million. As part of the Refinancing Plan, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2023 Term Loan B for the repayment of outstanding principal, interest and fees associated with our previous term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B”), as well as the previous credit facilities of our Topgolf operating segment, which consisted of a senior secured term loan facility (the “Topgolf Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Topgolf Revolving Credit Facility”). We accounted for the transactions associated with the Refinancing Plan and 2023 Term Loan B as a debt modification, and as a result we recognized a non-cash loss of $10.5 million within other income (expense), net, and $2.3 million of third-party fees within selling, general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, we deferred $11.0 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction.
On March 19, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 Term Loan B (the “First Amendment”) in order to, among other things, decrease the interest rate applicable to the outstanding term loans thereunder. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan B are, at our option, a rate per annum equal to: (a) a term SOFR-based rate (“Term SOFR”) (subject to a 0% floor) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% or 3.00%, depending on our applicable debt rating, as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2023 Term Loan B; or (b) a base rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (B) Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0% (and subject to a 1% floor), (C) the prime rate announced by Bank of America from time to time, and (D) 1.0%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 1.75% or 2.00%, depending on our applicable debt rating.
The First Amendment was accounted for as a partial debt modification and partial debt extinguishment, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $4.7 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts for prior lenders under our 2023 Term Loan B who did not participate in the First Amendment. This non-cash loss was recognized in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, we also incurred $1.1 million of fees related to the transaction, of which $0.2 million were recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and $0.9 million were recognized as selling, general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts related to the 2023 Term Loan B are amortized into interest expense over the term of the loan and are included as a reduction to long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.
The 2023 Term Loan B includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions, as well as customary events of default. The 2023 Term Loan B is not subject to any financial covenants and, subject to certain customary exceptions, is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each such subsidiary guarantor.
On May 31, 2024, we made an additional discretionary $50.0 million principal payment on the 2023 Term Loan B.
Convertible Notes
We have convertible senior notes issued in May 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”) which are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 56.8 shares per $1,000 of principal, or an initial conversion price of $17.62 per share, and interest is payable on the Convertible Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. As of May 6, 2023, we have the option to settle all or part of the Convertible Notes through cash settlement, physical settlement, or combination settlement at our election, subject to certain stipulations. Additionally, all or any portion of the Convertible Notes may be converted at the conversion rate and at the holders’ option on or after February 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second trading day immediately prior to the maturity date, and upon the occurrence of certain contingent conversion events.
Capped Call
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (“Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls cover the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are generally expected to reduce potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make related to any conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls, which each have an exercise price of $17.62 per share, are subject to certain adjustments and each have a cap price of $26.89 per share. The initial cost of the Capped Calls was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Equipment Notes
We have long-term financing agreements (the “Equipment Notes”) with various lenders which we use to invest in certain facilities and information technology equipment. The loans are secured by the relative underlying equipment.
Mortgage Loans
We have three mortgage loans related to our Topgolf venues which are secured by the assets of each respective venue and require either monthly (i) principal and interest payments or (ii) interest-only payments until their maturity dates. For loans requiring monthly interest-only payments, the entire unpaid principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest is due on the maturity date thereof.

Note 11. Income Taxes
We calculate our interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, “Interim Reporting,” and ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” At the end of each interim period, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary quarterly earnings to calculate the tax related to ordinary income. The tax effects for other items that are excluded from ordinary income are discretely calculated and recognized in the period in which they occur.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $9.7 million and $45.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a percentage of pre-tax income, our effective tax rate was (18.5)% and (64.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate is due to forecasted U.S. tax credits we have accrued year to date. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, the primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to the release of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $4.7 million and $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a percentage of pre-tax income, our effective tax rate was (7.4)% and (54.1)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate is due to forecasted U.S. tax credits we have accrued year to date. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to the release of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.
As of June 30, 2024, the gross liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $29.7 million. Of this amount, $17.0 million would benefit our condensed consolidated financial statements and effective income tax rate if favorably settled. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Note 12. Commitments & Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are subject to routine legal claims, proceedings, and investigations associated with the normal conduct of our business activities, including commercial disputes and employment matters. From time to time we also receive information claiming that products we sell infringe or may infringe patent, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. One or more such claims of potential infringement could lead to litigation, the need to obtain licenses, the need to alter a product to avoid infringement, a settlement or judgment, or some other action or material loss, which could adversely affect our overall ability to protect our product designs and ultimately limit our future success in the marketplace. Additionally, we are occasionally subject to non-routine claims, proceedings, or investigations.
We regularly assess such matters to determine the degree of probability that we will incur a material loss as a result of such matters, as well as the range of possible loss. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our financial statements if it is probable we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the claims, proceedings, and investigations brought against us, individually and in the aggregate, have not had a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that some of these actions could be decided unfavorably, we do not believe that the matters currently pending against us will have a material adverse effect on our business, condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Commitments
During the normal course of business, we enter into agreements to purchase goods and services, including commitments for endorsement agreements with professional athletes and other endorsers, consulting and service agreements, intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which we are required to pay royalty fees, and signed retail store lease agreements of which we have not taken possession as of quarter-end. The amounts listed below approximate the minimum future commitments we are obligated to pay under these agreements. The actual amounts paid under some of the agreements may be higher or lower than these amounts due to the variable nature of these obligations.

As of June 30, 2024, the minimum obligation we are required to pay under these agreements over the next five years and thereafter is as follows (in millions):
Remainder of 2024$38.2 
202545.7 
202627.0 
202714.4 
20281.9 
Thereafter5.3 
Total$132.5 
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
During the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite and the majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum amount of future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we believe the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Except as otherwise included under the heading “Commitments” above and in Note 5 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that we issued during the six months ended, and as of, June 30, 2024, were not material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Authoritative guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and certain other short-term liabilities approximate fair value due to their high liquidity and short-term nature, and are therefore categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our money market funds accrue dividends, which are reinvested in the funds, and are reflected in the carrying values of the funds. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of our money market funds was $148.4 million and $196.5 million, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Hedging instruments are re-measured on a recurring basis using pricing models, broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates, and interest rate curves as applicable (see Note 15) and are therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate hedge agreements (see Note 15) that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of the periods presented (in millions):

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain long-lived assets, goodwill, non-amortizing intangible assets and investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. These assets are written down to fair value when they are classified as held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a $3.4 million impairment loss related to the abandonment of our Shankstars online digital game in our Topgolf segment, which is included within research and development expense within our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we performed an assessment of retail locations of our Jack Wolfskin business in connection with our restructuring and reorganization initiatives within our Active Lifestyle segment (see Note 18). During this assessment, we determined that certain operating ROU and fixed assets related to certain retail stores may not be fully recoverable based on the estimated cash flows for these stores over the remaining lease terms and asset lives. As a result, we recognized $2.9 million in impairment losses in selling, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to the reduction of the carrying values of these assets to their fair values, which are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
We did not recognize any impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging
We use designated cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts as part of our strategy to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated in the local currencies in the various international regions in which we do business. We also use interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the impact of variable interest rates on our long-term debt.
We only use foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to meet our objectives of minimizing variability in our operating results which may arise from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and we do not enter into either of these types of contracts for speculative purposes. We utilize counterparties for our derivative instruments that we believe are creditworthy at the time we enter into the transactions, and we closely monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments as well as the location of the asset and/or liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the periods presented below (in millions):

Although we have the legal right of offset under the master netting agreements, we have elected not to present these contracts on a net settlement amount basis, and therefore present these contracts on a gross basis on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We use foreign currency derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts to help mitigate our foreign currency exposure from intercompany sales of inventory and intercompany expense reimbursements to our foreign subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within 12 months to 15 months from their inception. As of June 30, 2024, the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments was $49.0 million. As of December 31, 2023, there were no notional amounts on our foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments.
Interest Rate Swap Contract
We use interest rate swaps designated as a cash flow hedge to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates associated with our variable-rate long-term debt. As part of our debt modification in March 2023, we entered into a termination agreement to unwind an existing interest rate swap. As a result of the termination, we received proceeds of $5.6 million, of which $1.7 million and $3.2 million were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the contract.
In April 2023, we entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in order to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with our 2023 Term Loan B as well as any of our other variable-rate debt. Over the life of the 2023 Term Loan B, we will receive variable interest payments from the counterparty lenders in exchange for our fixed interest rate payments which are made at a weighted average rate of 3.36% across our interest rate swap contracts, without exchange of the underlying notional amount, which was $400.0 million as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The following tables summarize the net effect of all cash flow hedges for each of our derivative contracts on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented (in millions):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of net gains related to the amortization of forward points were released from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in cost of products. Based on the current valuation of our foreign currency forward contracts, we expect to release net gains of $3.9 million related to our foreign currency forward contracts from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings over the course of the next 12 months.


28


Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We use foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to the remeasurement of certain balance sheet payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies, as well as gains and losses resulting from the translation of the operating results of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. These contracts generally mature within 12 months from inception. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the exposures discussed above were approximately $389.4 million and $209.4 million, respectively.

Note 18. Restructuring
During 2023, we initiated a reorganization and restructuring plan in order to improve the organizational structure of and increase operational efficiencies for certain businesses and functions within our Active Lifestyle and Topgolf operating segments. In connection with the restructuring plan, we have incurred costs for employee termination benefits, legal fees and other costs associated with the exit of certain leased facilities and disposal of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”). We expect to incur approximately $35.0 million to $40.0 million in costs associated with the restructuring plan, which we expect to complete by the fourth quarter of 2024.
The following table summarizes costs related to the restructuring plan recognized within cost of products, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented below (in millions):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. Interim operating results are not indicative of operating results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other future periods. See “Important Notice to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this report. References to the “Company,” “Topgolf Callaway Brands,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this report refer to Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp., together with our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial results contained in this report, which have been prepared and presented in accordance accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we have also included supplemental information concerning our financial results on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information includes the following:
A constant currency measure on net revenues in order to demonstrate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on these results. This information represents an estimate for comparative purposes and is calculated by taking current period local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based on the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period.
Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as further detailed below.
Same venue sales, which is defined as sales for the comparable Topgolf venue base, which includes Company-operated venues with at least 24 full fiscal months of operations as of the year of comparison.
We have included information in this report to reconcile non-GAAP information for the periods presented to the most directly comparable GAAP information. Non-GAAP information in this report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. We use such non-GAAP information for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate the underlying performance of our business and/or in forecasting our business. We believe that the presentation of such non-GAAP information, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP information, provides additional useful information for investors in their assessment of the underlying performance of our business.
Operating Segments and Seasonality
We are a technology-enabled modern golf company offering golf entertainment, golf equipment, and apparel under our portfolio of global brands which includes Topgolf, Callaway Golf, Odyssey, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin, OGIO, Toptracer and World Golf Tour. Our products and brands are reported under our Topgolf, Golf Equipment, and Active Lifestyle operating segments.
Topgolf
Our Topgolf operating segment is primarily comprised of Company-operated domestic and international Topgolf venues, which are equipped with technology-enabled hitting bays, multiple bars, dining areas and event spaces. Our Company-operated venues also offer advertising partnerships to corporate sponsors to feature their names and logos at Topgolf venues and on other media platforms. Revenue from Company-operated venues is primarily derived from the sale of food and beverage, gameplay, and events. As of June 30, 2024, we had 96 Company-owned and operated venues, including 90 Topgolf venues and two Company-owned BigShots venues, throughout the United States, and four Company-operated venues in the United Kingdom. In addition to our Company-operated venues, we also have five international franchised Topgolf venues from which we receive royalties.


32


Our Topgolf operating segment also includes other business lines comprised of our Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology as well as our WGT virtual golf game. Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology is used by independent driving ranges and during televised golf broadcasts, as well as in many of our Company-operated and franchised Topgolf venues in order to enhance the Topgolf gaming experience. WGT is an online multiplayer virtual golf game that enables players to gather in an online community and participate in simulated gameplay.
Operating results for our Topgolf operating segment fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to seasonal factors. Historically, our venues experience higher second and third quarter revenues associated with the spring and summer, while the first and fourth quarters have historically had lower revenues, with the first quarter being the lowest, due to cooler temperatures and fewer corporate events. Given that seasonality is an expected factor in Topgolf’s results of operations, adverse weather may impact peak seasons at our venues, which may result in a disproportionate effect on our operating results.
Revenue growth and profitability related to our Topgolf venues are also impacted by the opening of new venues and growth at existing venues measured by same venue sales, which is a key performance indicator used within our industry and is indicative of acceptance of our initiatives as well as local economic and consumer trends.
Golf Equipment
Our Golf Equipment operating segment is comprised of Callaway Golf-branded woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, Odyssey putters, packaged sets, and Callaway Golf and Strata-branded golf balls, as well as the sale of pre-owned golf clubs. Our golf equipment products are designed to be technologically advanced for golfers of all skill levels, from beginner to professional.
Operating results for our Golf Equipment segment fluctuate due to seasonal factors, as the game of golf is primarily played on a seasonal basis in most of the regions where we conduct business. Weather conditions generally restrict golf from being played throughout the entire year, with the exception of a few markets, resulting in many of our on-course customers closing during the cold weather months. In general, we launch new products for the new golf season during the first quarter of the year. This initial sell-in period typically continues into the second quarter, while third-quarter sales are generally dependent on reorders and may also include smaller new product launches. Fourth-quarter sales are generally less than the other quarters due to the end of the golf season in many of our key regions. In addition to this seasonality, our golf equipment sales may also be impacted by other factors, including the timing of new product introductions. As a result of these factors, a majority of our Golf Equipment sales, and most, if not all, of the profitability from our Golf Equipment operating segment generally occurs during the first half of the year.
Active Lifestyle
Our Active Lifestyle operating segment is comprised of Callaway Golf, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin and OGIO soft goods products. The Callaway Golf soft goods brand offers a full line of premium golf apparel, footwear, gear and accessories. TravisMathew offers a full line of premium golf and lifestyle apparel as well as footwear and accessories. Under the Jack Wolfskin brand, we offer a full line of premium outdoor apparel, gear and accessories. The OGIO brand offers a full line of premium personal storage gear for sport and personal use and accessories. On certain soft goods products, we receive royalties from the licensing of our trademarks and service marks.
Sales of Callaway Golf-branded golf apparel and accessories generally follow the same seasonality as golf equipment, and are therefore generally higher during the first half of the year. Sales of TravisMathew-branded products are more evenly spread throughout the year as the product line is generally lifestyle focused and not dependent on the seasonality of golf, while Jack Wolfskin-branded product sales are higher during the second half of the year due to sales of its outerwear product lines which are more in demand during the cold-weather months.
For further information about our segments, see Note 17 “Segment Information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Current Economic Conditions
Macroeconomic Factors
Our products and services are considered to be non-essential items and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. As a result, the demand for our products and services is highly sensitive to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions. Such unfavorable conditions could result in a decline in general consumer and corporate discretionary spending and as such, demand for our products and services may decline. While we generally try to mitigate the impact of such macroeconomic factors by closely monitoring changes in consumer retail spending behavior and through the implementation of various strategic initiatives, the continued fluctuation of these trends may have an adverse impact on our operating results depending on the severity and length of the changes.
Foreign Currency
A significant portion of our business is conducted outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the effects that changes in foreign currency rates may have on our financial results. While these foreign currency forward contracts can mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates in the short-term, they do not eliminate those effects, which can be significant, and they do not mitigate their effects over the long-term. These effects include (i) the translation and remeasurement of results denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, (ii) the mark-to-market adjustments of certain intercompany balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) the mark-to-market adjustments of our foreign currency forward contracts. In general, our overall financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. dollar and negatively by a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $10.8 million and $18.6 million on international net revenues, respectively.

Net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $21.9 million or 1.9% (0.9% on a constant currency basis), and $45.1 million or 1.9% (1.1% on a constant currency basis), respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.


34


The $21.9 million (1.9%) decrease in net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to lower sales in our Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle segments, partially offset by revenue growth in our Topgolf operating segment. The decrease in our Golf Equipment operating segment was primarily due to a planned shift in product launch timing from the first half of 2024 to the second half combined with softer market conditions particularly in Korea. The decrease in our Active Lifestyle segment was primarily due to lower sales of Jack Wolfskin products due to a decline in wholesale revenue resulting from higher field inventories. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our Topgolf segment related to the addition of new owned and operated Topgolf venues combined with wholesale and retail growth in the TravisMathew business. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, fluctuations in foreign currencies had an unfavorable impact of $10.8 million on net revenues.
The $45.1 million (1.9%) decrease in net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to lower sales in our Active Lifestyle and Golf Equipment segments, partially offset by an increase in our Topgolf segment. The decrease in our Active Lifestyle segment was primarily due to a decline in sales of Callaway branded soft goods and Jack Wolfskin apparel products due to a decline in wholesale revenue resulting from higher field inventories and a decline in sales of TravisMathew products due to a corporate channel sell-in during the first quarter of 2023, which did not recur in 2024. The decrease in our Golf Equipment segment was primarily due to a planned shift in product launch timing from the first half of 2024 to the second half. These decreases were partially offset by growth in our Topgolf segment due to the addition of new owned and operated Topgolf venues. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, fluctuations in foreign currencies had an unfavorable impact of $18.6 million on net revenues.

Net revenues from our Topgolf operations are primarily concentrated in the United States and Europe, with the United States being our principal market. We sell our Golf Equipment products and Callaway Golf and OGIO Active Lifestyle products in the United States and internationally, with our principal international regions being Europe and Asia. Active Lifestyle revenues from our TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin operations are largely concentrated in the United States and Europe, respectively.
United States
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net revenues in the United States increased $4.6 million (0.5%) and $22.5 million (1.3%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The $4.6 million (0.5%) increase for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to incremental revenues from the addition of new owned and operated Topgolf venues as well as retail and wholesale growth in the TravisMathew business. These increases were partially offset by a decline in same venue sales at Topgolf primarily resulting from softer than anticipated foot traffic combined with a decrease in golf club sales as discussed above.

Europe
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net revenues in Europe decreased $6.1 million (5.1%) and $18.3 million (6.7%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The $6.1 million decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower golf club sales as discussed above combined with a decline in Jack Wolfskin sales, primarily in the wholesale channel.
The $18.3 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due a decline in Jack Wolfskin sales, primarily in the wholesale channel.
Asia
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net revenues in Asia decreased $19.1 million (14.9%) and $51.7 million (17.9%) compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, due to soft market conditions in the golf equipment and apparel markets primarily in Korea, combined with unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily in Japan.
Rest of World
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, net revenues in Rest of World decreased by $1.3 million (2.9%) and increased by $2.4 million (2.8%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The $1.3 million decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to decreases in golf club sales in Canada and Australia, combined with unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
The $2.4 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle product sales in Canada and Australia, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
Foreign Currency
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $10.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively, on international net revenues.

Cost of Products
Cost of products is variable in nature and fluctuates relative to sales volumes. Cost of products includes raw materials and component costs, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, inbound freight, duties and shipping charges, and retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of products decreased $12.5 million (3.2%) and $41.6 million (5.0%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to decreased sales in our Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle operating segments.
Cost of Services, excluding Depreciation and Amortization
Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization (“cost of services”), includes the cost of food and beverages sold in our Topgolf venues as well as certain costs associated with our Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology, Swing Suite indoor multi-sport simulators and the WGT digital golf game. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of services decreased $0.7 million (1.4%) and $3.5 million (3.7%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower cost of food and beverage combined with a favorable shift in revenue mix in 2024.
Other Venue Expense
Other venue expenses primarily consist of depreciation and amortization, venue employee costs, rent, utilities, marketing and other costs associated with Topgolf venues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, other venue expenses increased $22.3 million (7.0%) and $40.2 million (6.5%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the addition of new Company owned and operated Topgolf venues since June 30, 2023, partially offset by operational efficiencies in the venues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses primarily consist of non-venue employee costs, advertising and promotional expense, legal and professional fees, tour expenses, travel expenses, building and rent expenses, depreciation charges (excluding those related to manufacturing, distribution, and venue operations), amortization, and other miscellaneous expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $20.1 million (7.2%) and $15.6 million (2.8%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The $20.1 million decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to lower employee costs related to restructuring and reorganization initiatives in our Topgolf and Active Lifestyle operating segments that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2023, in addition to decreases in selling and marketing costs related to ambassador endorsements and performance bonuses which did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by increases in computer software and IT costs related to software licenses and costs incurred for the implementation of new computer software in addition to costs incurred for cybersecurity.
The $15.6 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to lower employee costs due to restructuring and reorganization initiatives in our Topgolf operating segment that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2023, in addition to decreases in selling and marketing costs related to ambassador endorsements and performance bonuses, television and digital advertising and promotional expenditures. These decreases were partially offset by increases in computer software and IT costs related to software licenses and costs incurred for the implementation of new computer software in addition to costs incurred for cybersecurity.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses are comprised of costs to design, develop, test or improve our products and technology, and primarily include employee costs of personnel engaged in research and development activities, research costs and depreciation expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased $5.0 million (22.7%) and $5.4 million (12.1%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by asset impairment charges related to the abandonment of the Shankstars media game, in addition to higher employee costs related to restructuring and severance costs.


37


Venue Pre-Opening Costs
Venue pre-opening costs are primarily related to the costs associated with activities prior to the opening of new Company-operated Topgolf venues, and consist of, but are not limited to, labor, rent and occupancy costs, and travel and marketing expenses. These costs fluctuate based on the planned timing, size and location of new venues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, venue pre-opening costs decreased $2.9 million (50.9%) and $3.4 million (36.2%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to fewer planned venue openings in 2024.

Other income, net decreased $0.9 million (12.3%) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a combined increase in net losses from foreign currency transactions and hedging contracts, partially offset by the receipt of a dividend from our investment in Full Swing.
Other income, net increased $12.6 million (450.0%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in losses related to the 2023 refinancing of our long-term debt, combined with the receipt of a dividend from our investment in Full Swing investment, and a net increase in gains related to hedging contracts and foreign currency transactions.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $36.1 million to an income tax benefit of $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of $45.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of pre-tax income, our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to (18.5)% compared to (64.0)% in the comparable period of 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was impacted by forecasted U.S. tax credits we have accrued year to date. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by reversing a significant portion of the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and other non-recurring items. Excluding the non-recurring items and the release of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, our effective tax rate would have been 10.6% and 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For further discussion see Note 11 "Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Income taxes decreased $45.3 million to an income tax benefit of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of pre-tax income, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to (7.4)% compared to (54.1)% in the comparable period of 2023. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was impacted by forecasted U.S. tax credits we have accrued year to date.

While the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from our calculation of non-GAAP net income, the revenue, operating costs and acquired assets that contribute to the revenue generation for these acquired companies is reflected in our calculation of non-GAAP net income. Starting in the second quarter of 2024, the non-cash depreciation and amortization associated with purchase accounting adjustments stemming from these acquisitions is excluded from our non-GAAP adjustments. As such, prior period amounts have been recast in order to conform with the current period presentation. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, non-cash depreciation and amortization related to these purchase accounting adjustments was $1.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
(2) For 2024, amounts primarily include $11.7 million of restructuring and reorganization charges in our Active Lifestyle operating segment, $3.4 million of charges related to the impairment and abandonment of the Shankstars media game in the Topgolf segment, and $1.1 million in IT integration charges including costs associated with the implementation of a new cloud based HRM system. For 2023, amounts primarily included $3.1 million in restructuring and reorganization charges in our Active Lifestyle operating segment, and $2.2 million in IT integration and implementation costs stemming from the Acquisitions.
(3) Related to the release of tax valuation allowances that were recorded in connection with the merger with Topgolf.
(4) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the if-converted method, which excludes interest expense related to the Convertible Notes from the calculation of net income.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $62.1 million compared to $117.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.32 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.59 per share for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $36.1 million decrease in the income tax benefit combined with a $13.0 million decrease in income from operations due to the net impact of decreases in net revenues and operating expenses combined with the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies, in addition to a $5.3 million increase in interest expense primarily related to an increase in venue financing interest. Fully diluted shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 199.6 million shares compared to 201.3 million shares for the same period in 2023.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the items described in the table above, our net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 would have been $83.1 million and $0.42 per share, respectively, compared to $75.6 million and $0.38 per share, respectively, for the same period in 2023. The increase in non-GAAP net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due a decrease in income taxes resulting from an income tax benefit in the current year compared to an income tax provision in the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in income from operations due to the net impact of lower net revenues and operating expenses combined with the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies, in addition to an increase in interest expense.

These decreases were partially offset by a $12.6 million increase in other income primarily due to a decrease in losses related to the 2023 refinancing of our long-term debt, combined with the receipt of a dividend from our investment in Full Swing investment. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 199.4 million shares compared to 201.4 million shares for the same period in 2023.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the items described in the table above, our net income and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been $97.5 million and $0.51 per share, respectively, compared to $106.0 million and $0.54 per share, respectively, for the same period in 2023.

Topgolf
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Topgolf net revenues increased $23.6 million (5.0%) and $42.9 million (4.9%), respectively, and operating income increased $12.1 million (27.5%) and $12.2 million (26.1%), respectively, both compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to the continued opening of new Company-owned and operated venues since June 2023. This increase was partially offset by a decline in same venue sales due to softer traffic from both the consumer and events business. The increase in operating income was due to the increase in net revenue as discussed above combined with improved operating efficiencies.


41


Golf Equipment
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Golf Equipment net revenues decreased $37.2 million (8.2%) and $31.0 million (3.5%), respectively, and segment operating income decreased $19.0 million (19.7%) and $18.5 million (10.4%), respectively, both compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in net revenues was due to a planned shift in product launch timing from the first half of 2024 to the second half combined with unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates primarily in Asia. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decrease in net revenue as discussed above combined with a decline in gross margin resulting from higher freight expenses to meet demand. These decreases were partially offset by lower employee costs, advertising fees, and tour player and ambassador expenses.
Active Lifestyle
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Active Lifestyle net revenues decreased $8.3 million (3.2%) and $57.0 million (9.9%), respectively, and operating income decreased $4.8 million (24.6%) and $17.4 million (30.6%), respectively, both compared to the same period in 2023.
The decrease in net revenues in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in sales of Jack Wolfskin soft goods due a decline in wholesale revenue resulting from higher inventory levels at retailers combined with unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates primarily in Asia, partially offset by wholesale and retail growth in the TravisMathew business. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2024 was largely due to the decrease in revenue discussed above, combined with a decline in gross margin as a result of provisioning for out of season inventory in Korea and higher promotional activity in Europe, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency in inventory.
The decrease in net revenues in the first six months of 2024 was primarily driven by decreases in sales of Callaway, Jack Wolfskin and TravisMathew soft goods. The decrease in Callaway sales was primarily due to softer market conditions in Korea. The decline in Jack Wolfskin sales was primarily due to a decline in wholesale revenue resulting from higher field inventories. The decrease in sales of TravisMathew soft goods was primarily due to a corporate channel sell-in during the first quarter of 2023 which, as expected, did not recur in 2024, partially offset by direct-to-consumer growth in the retail and e-commerce channels. The decrease in operating income during the first six months of 2024 was largely due to the decreases in revenue discussed above, partially offset by improved gross margin resulting from favorable channel mix and lower input costs.
Financial Condition
Our cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, decreased $81.7 million to $317.1 million at June 30, 2024 from $398.8 million at December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used our cash and cash equivalents in addition to proceeds received from lease financings to fund operations, purchase capital expenditures, repurchase stock, and complete the BigShots acquisition. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2024, we made a $50.0 million partial repayment of the outstanding principal of our Term Loan B. We believe that our existing funds and existing sources of and access to capital and any future financings, as necessary, are adequate to fund our future operations. For further information related to our financing arrangements, see Note 6 “Financing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of our business, and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to our Golf Equipment business, accounts receivable are generally the highest during the first and second quarters during the seasonal peak in the golf industry, and generally decline significantly during the third and fourth quarters as a result of an increase in cash collections combined with lower seasonal sales. Our Active Lifestyle accounts receivable balances are generally higher during the third and fourth quarters, primarily due to the seasonal concentration of sales for the Jack Wolfskin business during the fall and winter seasons. Our Topgolf venue business primarily records revenue and collects payment at point-of-sale, therefore, Topgolf’s accounts receivable balance is smaller than our other business segments and primarily consists of media partnership receivables. As of June 30, 2024, our consolidated net accounts receivable increased to $390.4 million from $200.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase reflects the seasonality of our golf equipment sales. Net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 decreased $6.8 million compared to June 30, 2023, primarily due to decreased net sales.


42


Our inventory balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of certain operating segments within our business, and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to our Golf Equipment business, the buildup of inventory generally begins during the fourth quarter and continues into the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter in order to meet increased demand during the golf season. Inventory levels are also impacted by the timing of new product launches as well as the success of new products. Active Lifestyle inventory levels start to increase during the second quarter and continue to increase into the third and fourth quarters primarily due to the seasonal nature of our Jack Wolfskin business, whose products are significantly geared towards the fall and winter seasons. Topgolf is primarily a service-based business which maintains lower inventory balances than our other business segments, primarily consisting of food and beverages as well as retail merchandise and Toptracer inventory. As of June 30, 2024, our inventory decreased $147.3 million to $647.1 million, compared to December 31, 2023, which reflects the general seasonality of our business combined with the sell-through of out-of-season inventory in our Active Lifestyle business. Our inventory decreased $192.7 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023, also primarily due to inventory reduction initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, funds expected to be generated from operations and available funds from our credit facilities. Based on our current cash balances, estimates of funds expected to be generated from operations, and the current and projected availability under current or future credit facilities, we believe we will be able to finance current and planned operating requirements, capital expenditures, required debt repayments and contractual obligations and commercial commitments for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Form 10-Q.
Our ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including future economic trends and conditions, demand for our products, supply chain challenges, price inflation, foreign currency exchange rates, and other risks and uncertainties applicable to us and our business (see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023).
On March 19, 2024 we entered into an amendment to the 2023 Term Loan B in order to decrease the interest rate and future interest expense on the 2023 Term Loan B and on May 31, 2024, we made an additional discretionary $50.0 million principal payment on the 2023 Term Loan B. As of June 30, 2024, we had $783.8 million in cash and availability under our credit facilities, which is an increase of $136.4 million compared to June 30, 2023. Information about our credit facilities and long-term debt is presented in Note 6 “Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
As of June 30, 2024, approximately 43% of our cash was held in regions outside of the United States. We continue to maintain our indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to most jurisdictions in which we operate because of local cash requirements to operate our business. If we were to repatriate cash to the United States outside of settling intercompany balances, we may need to pay incremental foreign withholding taxes which, subject to certain limitations, generate foreign tax credits for use against our U.S. tax liability, if any. Additionally, we may need to pay certain state income taxes.

(2) Long-term debt may have fixed or variable interest rates. For further details, see Note 6 “Financing Arrangements,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(3) Represents future minimum payments under financing leases. For further details, see Note 5 “Leases” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(4) Represents commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases. For further details, see Note 5 “Leases” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(5) Represents DLF obligations, including extension periods, in connection with the construction of Topgolf venues. For further details, see Note 5 “Leases” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(6) Represents future minimum lease payments under lease agreements that have not yet commenced as of June 30, 2024, in relation to future Topgolf facilities. For further discussion, see Note 5 “Leases” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(7) Represents capital expenditure commitments under lease agreements for Topgolf venues under construction that have been signed as of June 30, 2024.
(8) During the normal course of business, we enter into agreements to purchase goods and services, including commitments for endorsement agreements with professional athletes and other endorsers, consulting and service agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which we are required to pay royalty fees. The amounts listed above approximate the minimum purchase obligations we are obligated to pay under these agreements over the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 2024. The actual amounts paid under some of the agreements may be higher or lower than these amounts. In addition, we also enter into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services during the normal course of business through purchase orders or other documentation or that are undocumented except for an invoice. For further details, see Note 12 “Commitments & Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
(9) Amounts represent current and non-current portions of uncertain income tax positions as recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024. Amounts exclude uncertain income tax positions that we would be able to offset against deferred taxes. For further discussion, see Note 11 "Income Taxes" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
During the normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to our customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of our products or trademarks, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to the goods or services provided to us or based on the negligence or willful misconduct, and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, we have made contractual commitments to each of our officers and certain other employees providing for severance payments upon the termination of employment. We have also issued guarantees in the form of a standby letter of credit primarily as security for contingent liabilities under certain workers’ compensation insurance policies.


44


The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum amount of future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we believe the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on our financial condition. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that we issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the contractual obligations listed above, our liquidity could also be adversely affected by an unfavorable outcome with respect to claims and litigation that we are subject to from time to time (see Note 12 “Commitments & Contingencies” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Capital Expenditures
Total estimated capital expenditures, net of reimbursements by third party real estate financing partners, for the year ending December 31, 2024, are expected to be approximately $190.0 million, comprised of $60.0 million for our legacy business and $130.0 million for the Topgolf business.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from the information reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We use derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Transactions involving these financial instruments are with creditworthy banks, primarily banks that are party to our credit facilities (see Note 6 “Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The use of these instruments exposes us to market and credit risk which may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties, although counterparty nonperformance is not anticipated.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
Information about our foreign currency hedging activities is set forth in Note 15 “Derivatives and Hedging,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
As part of our risk management procedure, a sensitivity analysis model is used to measure the potential loss in future earnings of market-sensitive instruments resulting from one or more selected hypothetical changes in interest rates or foreign currency values. The sensitivity analysis model quantifies the estimated potential effect of unfavorable movements of 10% in foreign currencies to which we were exposed at June 30, 2024 through our foreign currency forward contracts.
At June 30, 2024, the estimated loss from our foreign currency forward contracts, calculated using the sensitivity analysis model described above, was $42.8 million. We believe that such a hypothetical loss from our foreign currency forward contracts would be partially offset by increases in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged.
The sensitivity analysis model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in earnings that we will incur, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market rates. It also does not represent the maximum possible loss that may occur. Actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated because of changes or differences in market rates and interrelationships, hedging instruments and hedge percentages, timing and other factors.


45


Interest Rate Fluctuations
We are exposed to interest rate risk from our credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments. Outstanding borrowings under these credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments accrue interest as described in Note 6 “Financing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. Our long-term borrowing commitments are subject to interest rate fluctuations, which could be material to our cash flows and results of operations. In order to mitigate this risk, we enter into interest rate swap contracts as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Information about our interest rate hedges is provided in Note 15 “Derivatives and Hedging” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In order to determine the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates on our cash flows and results of operations, we performed a sensitivity analysis as part of our risk management procedures. The sensitivity analysis quantified that the incremental expense incurred by a 10% increase in interest rates would be $4.7 million over the 12-month period ended on June 30, 2024.
Inflation
The continued increase in inflation partially contributed to the increase in the cost of our products and services as well as operating costs. If the cost of our products, employee costs, or other costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures, such inflationary pressures may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses. Further, we may not be able to offset these increased costs through price increases. As a result, our inability to quickly respond to inflation could harm our cash flows and results of operations in the future.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2024, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The information set forth in Note 12 “Commitments & Contingencies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, is incorporated herein by this reference. 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain Factors Affecting Topgolf Callaway Brands
We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to our stock. There are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 with respect to the Risk Factors.
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Stock Purchases
In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program (the “2022 Repurchase Program”) under which we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in private transactions, subject to our assessment of market conditions and repurchase opportunities. We will assess market conditions, buying opportunities and other factors from time to time and will make strategic repurchases as appropriate. The repurchases will be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, and the repurchases will be made consistent with the terms of our credit facilities, which define the amount of stock that can be repurchased. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares and it will remain in effect until completed or until terminated by the Board of Directors. During the second quarter of 2024, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock under the 2022 Repurchase Program at a weighted average price per share of $16.09, for a total cost of $16.1 million.
The following table summarizes our purchases during the second quarter of 2024 and includes amounts repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase Program and shares withheld to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of employee restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards. Our repurchases of shares of common stock are recorded at cost and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

7.Ratification. Each Obligor hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof.

9.Estoppel. To induce Lenders to enter into this Amendment and to continue to make advances to Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, each Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, there exists no right of offset, defense, counterclaim or objection in favor of any Obligor as against Agent or any Lender with respect to the Obligations.
10.Effectiveness; Binding Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with its terms, this Amendment shall be binding upon each Lender and its respective successors and assigns.
11.Integration. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
12.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Requirements of Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Requirements of Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.

For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.7 and 10.2.9, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, contractual restriction, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition or affiliate transaction, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.7 and 10.2.9, the Parent, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, classify or reclassify (as if incurred on such later date) such transaction or item (or portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one category; provided that, upon delivery of any financial statements pursuant to Section 10.1.1(a) or (b) or Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 8.1 following the initial incurrence of any such transactions incurred in reliance on any Fixed Amount under any such Sections, if such transaction (or any portion thereof) could be incurred at such later time under any Incurrence-Based Amount under such Section, such transaction (or portion thereof) shall be automatically reclassified as having been made in reliance on such Incurrence-Based Amount. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, burdensome agreement, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, burdensome agreement, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction under Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.7 and 10.2.9, respectively, and may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof, but the Parent will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in one such category (or combination thereof).
Calculations and Tests.
All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations, Borrowing Base components and other amounts shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise. The Dollar equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document in a currency other than Dollars shall be determined by Agent on a daily basis, based on the current Spot Rate. Borrowers shall report Value and other Borrowing Base components to Agent in the currency invoiced by Obligors or shown in Obligors’ financial records, and unless expressly provided otherwise, shall deliver financial statements and calculate financial covenants in Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Obligors shall repay such Obligation in such other currency.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets, (ii) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (iii) the accuracy of any representations and warranties as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith), (B) the making of



any Restricted Payment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith) and/or (C) the making of any Restricted Debt Payment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Borrower Agent, (1) in the case of any acquisition or similar Investment (including the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition or Investment or (y) the consummation of such acquisition or Investment, (2) in the case of any Restricted Payment (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment and (3) in the case of any Restricted Debt Payment (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness and Liens and any other transaction in connection therewith), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of irrevocable (which may be conditional) notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt Payment, in each case, after giving effect, on a Pro Forma Basis, to (I) the relevant acquisition, Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment and/or any related Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof) and Liens and (II) to the extent definitive documents in respect thereof have been executed or the declaration of any Restricted Payment has been made or delivery of notice with respect to a Restricted Debt Payment has been given (which definitive documents, declaration or notice has not terminated or expired without the consummation thereof), any additional acquisition, Investment, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment and/or any related Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof) and Liens that the Borrower Agent has elected to treat in accordance with this Section 1.5.2; provided, however, with respect to any provision hereof that requires minimum Net Excess Availability, compliance with such Net Excess Availability test shall be made at the time set forth in the applicable clause (y) instead the time set forth in the applicable clause (x). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Agent has elected the option set forth in clause (x) of any of the preceding clauses (1), (2) or (3) in respect of any transaction, then the Borrower Agent shall be permitted to consummate such transaction (and such related transactions) even if any applicable test ceases to be satisfied subsequent to the Borrower Agent’s election of such option, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Net Excess Availability test and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.5.2 above), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no



Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Net Excess Availability test) (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Net Excess Availability test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test (other than with respect to Net Excess Availability) applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount and (ii) pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction.
The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Parent dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency will not be deemed to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 10.2.2.

For purposes of greater certainty, the reference to the “Loan Agreement” in the deed of hypothec dated November 3, 2017 executed by the Canadian Borrower in favor of the Agent means this Agreement.

For the purposes of the U.K. Security Agreements, on and from the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, any reference to a “U.K. Facility Obligor”, “U.K. Lender” and “U.K. Borrower” in a U.K. Security Agreement shall be deemed to be reference to a “U.K./Dutch Facility Obligor”, “U.K./Dutch Lender” and “U.K./Dutch Borrower” (respectively).

Each reallocation in the Maximum Country Facility Amounts pursuant to Section 2.1.4(c)(i) shall reduce or increase, as applicable, the corresponding Revolver Commitment Total, which such reduction or increase shall be allocated amongst the Lenders holding such Revolver Commitment Total on a Pro Rata basis at the time of such reallocation.
In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

Any notice of removal given by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.1.4(d) shall be irrevocable. Agent and the Lenders agree that Agent shall release any Liens with respect to the Eligible Real Estate to the extent the U.S. Real Estate Formula Amount is removed from the calculation of the U.S. Borrowing Base in accordance with this Section 2.1.4(d) and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Overadvances. If the aggregate U.S. Revolver Loans exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base (a “U.S. Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by U.S. Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such U.S. Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute



U.S. Facility Obligations secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral. If the aggregate Canadian Revolver Loans exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base (a “Canadian Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Canadian Borrower on demand by Agent, but all such Canadian Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Canadian Facility Obligations secured by the Canadian Facility Collateral. If the aggregate U.K./Dutch Revolver Loans exceed the U.K./Dutch Borrowing Base (a “U.K./Dutch Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such U.K./Dutch Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations secured by the U.K./Dutch Facility Collateral. If the aggregate German Revolver Loans exceed the German Borrowing Base (a “German Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the German Borrower on demand by Agent, but all such German Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute German Facility Obligations secured by the German Facility Collateral. Agent may require the Applicable Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the applicable Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed 7.5% of the U.S. Borrowing Base with respect to the U.S. Borrowers, 7.5% of the Canadian Borrowing Base with respect to the Canadian Borrower, 7.5% of the German Borrowing Base with respect to the German Borrower, or 7.5% of the U.K./Dutch Borrowing Base with respect to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding U.S. Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments, the outstanding Canadian Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolver Commitments, the outstanding U.K./Dutch Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, or the outstanding German Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate German Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to knowingly make further Overadvance Loans by written notice to Agent.
Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, and without regard to the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments, the Canadian Revolver Commitments, the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, or the German Revolver Commitments to make U.S. Base Rate Revolver Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans, and German Base Rate Loans, as applicable (each a “Protective Advance”) (a) up to an aggregate amount of (i) 10% of the aggregate Canadian Revolver Commitments (minus the aggregate amount of any outstanding Canadian Overadvances), with respect to the Canadian Borrower, (ii) 10% of the aggregate U.S. Revolver



Commitments (minus the aggregate amount of any outstanding U.S. Overadvances), with respect to the U.S. Borrowers, (iii) 10% of the aggregate U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments (minus the aggregate amount of any outstanding U.K./Dutch Overadvances), with respect to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers, or (iv) 10% of the aggregate German Revolver Commitments (minus the aggregate amount of any outstanding German Overadvances), with respect to the German Borrower, in each case, outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. Each Applicable Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Agent. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. All Protective Advances made by Agent with respect to U.S. Borrowers shall be U.S. Facility Obligations, secured by the U.S. Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. All Protective Advances made by Agent with respect to Canadian Borrower shall be Canadian Facility Obligations, secured by the Canadian Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. All Protective Advances made by Agent with respect to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall be U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations, secured by the U.K./Dutch Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. All Protective Advances made by Agent with respect to the German Borrower shall be German Facility Obligations, secured by the German Facility Collateral and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. In no event shall Protective Advances be made by Agent if it would cause the outstanding U.S. Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments, the outstanding Canadian Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolver Commitments, the outstanding U.K./Dutch Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, or the outstanding German Revolver Exposure to exceed the aggregate German Revolver Commitments.
Increase in U.S. Revolver Commitments. Borrowers may request an increase in the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments from time to time upon notice to Agent, as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and is offered on the same terms as the existing U.S. Revolver Commitments, except for fees mutually agreed upon by Borrowers and Agent, (b) increases under this Section do not exceed $150,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than 3 increases are made, (c) no reduction in Revolver Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 has occurred prior to the requested increase, (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such increase or result therefrom, and (e) Borrowers shall certify in writing to Agent that Borrowers are not in default under the Term Loan Facility Agreement after giving effect to the requested increase. Agent shall promptly notify U.S. Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each U.S. Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its U.S. Revolver Commitment. No such increases shall be consummated unless each



U.S. Lender agrees to increase its U.S. Revolver Commitment on a Pro Rata basis. Any U.S. Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. Provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied, total U.S. Revolver Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by U.S. Lenders on a Pro Rata basis) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days following Borrowers’ increase request. Agent, Borrowers, and U.S. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent deems appropriate to evidence and effectuate the increase in and allocations of U.S. Revolver Commitments (which shall be on a Pro Rata basis among U.S. Lenders).

U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall issue U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit from time to time on and after the Closing Date until 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date (or until the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:
The U.K./Dutch Borrowers acknowledge that U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank’s issuance of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit is conditioned upon U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount.

If, in sufficient time to act, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank receives written notice from U.K./Dutch Required Lenders that a LC Condition has not been satisfied, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit. Prior to receipt of any such notice, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.
U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit may be requested by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank.
The U.K./Dutch Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Banks or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods



purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and the U.K./Dutch Borrowers; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Banks, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against the U.K./Dutch Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit.
In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit or LC Documents, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.

U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.
Reimbursement; Participations.
If U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit, the U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall pay to U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank, on the same day (“U.K./Dutch Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank under such U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit in the same currency in which the Letter of Credit was denominated unless otherwise specified by Agent or U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank (at their respective option) that it requires payment in Dollars, British Pounds or Euros calculated at the Spot Rate, together with interest at the interest rate for U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans from the U.K./Dutch Reimbursement Date until payment by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers. The obligation of the U.K./Dutch Borrowers to reimburse U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank for any payment made under a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the U.K./Dutch



Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, the U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of a Term SOFR Revolver Loan (the initial Interest Period of which shall be 30 daysone month commencing on the relevant Reimbursement Date) in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank on that U.K./Dutch Reimbursement Date and each U.K./Dutch Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments have terminated, a U.K./Dutch Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. In the event that (i) a drawing denominated in a foreign currency (other than Dollars, British Pounds and Euros) (such foreign currency, a “U.K. Reimbursed Foreign Currency”) is to be reimbursed in Dollars, British Pounds or Euros pursuant to the first sentence in this Section 2.2.2(a); and (ii) the Dollars, British Pounds or Euros amount, as applicable, paid by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the U.K. Reimbursed Foreign Currency equal to the drawing, the U.K./Dutch Borrowers agree, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the U.K. Reimbursed Foreign Currency in the full amount of the drawing.
Upon issuance of a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit, each U.K./Dutch Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all U.K./Dutch LC Obligations relating to the U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit. If U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank makes any payment under a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit and the U.K./Dutch Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the U.K./Dutch Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify U.K./Dutch Lenders and each U.K./Dutch Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank, the U.K./Dutch Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment in the same currency as required of the U.K./Dutch Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.2.2(a). Upon request by a U.K./Dutch Lender, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.
The obligation of each U.K./Dutch Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank in connection with U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank’s payment under a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a U.K./Dutch Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any



express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.
No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank refrains from any action under a Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from U.K./Dutch Required Lenders.
Cash Collateral. If any U.K./Dutch LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that U.K./Dutch Availability is less than zero, or (c) within 10 Business Days prior to the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, then the U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall, at U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding U.K./Dutch Letters of Credit and pay to U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank the amount of all other U.K./Dutch LC Obligations. The U.K./Dutch Borrowers shall, on demand by U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender which is a U.K./Dutch Lender.
Resignation of U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank. U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Agent and the U.K./Dutch Borrowers. On the effective date of such resignation, U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank shall have no further obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder, including under Sections 2.2, 12.6 and 14.2, relating to any Letter of Credit issued prior to such date. Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers.

The obligation of Canadian Borrower to reimburse



Canadian Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Canadian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Canadian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Canadian Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Canadian Issuing Bank on any Canadian Reimbursement Date and each Canadian Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Canadian Revolver Commitments have terminated, a Canadian Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. In the event that (i) a drawing denominated in a foreign currency (other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars) (such foreign currency, a “Canadian Reimbursed Foreign Currency”) is to be reimbursed in Dollars or Canadian Dollars pursuant to the first sentence in this Section 2.4.2(a); and (ii) the Dollars or Canadian Dollars amount, as applicable, paid by Canadian Borrower shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Canadian Reimbursed Foreign Currency equal to the drawing, Canadian Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify Canadian Issuing Bank for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Canadian Reimbursed Foreign Currency in the full amount of the drawing.
Upon issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit, each Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Canadian Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Canadian LC Obligations relating to the Canadian Letter of Credit. If Canadian Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit and Canadian Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the Canadian Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Canadian Lenders and each Canadian Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Canadian Issuing Bank, the Canadian Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment in the same currency as required of the Canadian Borrower in accordance with Section 2.4.2(a). Upon request by a Canadian Lender, Canadian Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Canadian Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.
The obligation of each Canadian Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Canadian Issuing Bank in connection with Canadian Issuing Bank’s payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Canadian Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. Canadian Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by Canadian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under



any LC Documents. Canadian Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Canadian Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.
No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. Canadian Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if Canadian Issuing Bank refrains from any action under a Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Canadian Required Lenders.
Cash Collateral. If any Canadian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Canadian Availability is less than zero, or (c) within 10 Business Days prior to the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, then Canadian Borrower shall, at Canadian Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit and pay to Canadian Issuing Bank the amount of all other Canadian LC Obligations. Canadian Borrower shall, on demand by Canadian Issuing Bank or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender which is a Canadian Lender.
Resignation of Canadian Issuing Bank. Canadian Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Agent and Canadian Borrower. On the effective date of such resignation, Canadian Issuing Bank shall have no further obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder, including under Sections 2.4, 12.6 and 14.2, relating to any Letter of Credit issued prior to such date.

German Issuing Bank shall issue German Letters of Credit from time to time on and after the Closing Date until 30 days prior to the Facility Termination Date (or until the German Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:
The German Borrower acknowledges that German Issuing Bank’s issuance of any German Letter of Credit is conditioned upon German Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC



Application with respect to the requested German Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as German Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. German Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any German Letter of Credit unless (i) German Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a German Lender exists, such Lender or the German Borrower have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and German Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, German Issuing Bank receives written notice from German Required Lenders that a LC Condition has not been satisfied, German Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested German Letter of Credit. Prior to receipt of any such notice, German Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.
German Letters of Credit may be requested by the German Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Agent. The renewal or extension of any German Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new German Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of German Issuing Bank.
The German Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any German Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any German Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Banks or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a German Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and the German Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any German Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Banks, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of German Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. German Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against the German Borrower are discharged with proceeds of any German Letter of Credit.
In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any German Letters of Credit or LC Documents, German Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or



communication in whatever form believed by German Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. German Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts.

In the event that (i) a drawing denominated in a foreign currency (other than Dollars, British Pounds, Swiss Francs and Euros) (such foreign currency, a “German Reimbursed Foreign Currency”) is to be reimbursed in Dollars, British Pounds, Swiss Francs or Euros pursuant to the first sentence in this Section 2.5.2(a); and (ii) the Dollars, British Pounds, Swiss Francs or Euros amount, as applicable, paid by the German Borrower shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the German Reimbursed Foreign Currency equal to the drawing, the German Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify German Issuing Bank for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the German Reimbursed Foreign Currency in the full amount of the drawing.
Upon issuance of a German Letter of Credit, each German Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from German Issuing Bank, without



recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all German LC Obligations relating to the German Letter of Credit.

German Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the German Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents.

The German Borrower shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the German Lenders, a fee equal to the per annum rate of the Applicable Margin in effect for Term SOFR Revolver Loans times the average daily stated amount of German Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) to Agent, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each German Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c) to the German Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of German Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. At the election of Agent or the German Required Lenders, during an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum.
[Reserved].
Other Fees. Borrowers shall pay such other fees as described in the Fee Letters.
Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days, or, in the case of (a) interest based on the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian BATerm CORRA Screen Rate on the basis of a 365 day year, or (b) a Revolver Loan made in British Pounds, on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by any Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to the Borrower Agent by Agent or the affected Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example), and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to Loans and other Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement and each Canadian Domiciled Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding



relating to this Agreement or to any other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Canadian Domiciled Obligors as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).
Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers within each Borrower Group shall reimburse Agent and each Lender for all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent or such Lender in reference to such Borrower Group or its related Obligations or Collateral. In addition to such Extraordinary Expenses, such Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented legal (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel to all Credit Parties, taken as a whole, and if deemed reasonably necessary by Agent, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for all Credit Parties, taken as a whole, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, (x) one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Credit Parties, and (y) one additional local counsel to each group of similarly situated affected Credit Parties) and accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral for its Obligations, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any such Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify such Collateral; and (c) subject to any limits of Section 10.1.17(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor within such Borrowers’ related Obligor Group or Collateral securing such Obligor Group’s Obligations, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party. All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements, a Borrowing Base Certificate, or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin, U.S. Unused Line Fee Rate, Canadian Unused Line Fee Rate, U.K./Dutch Unused Line Fee Rate, or German Unused Line Fee Rate should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and the applicable Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid (provided that no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such shortfall in payment so long as such shortfall is paid within 10 Business Days’ of notice from Agent to Borrower Agent). All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.
Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirements of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain, fund or commit to, participate in, or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Term SOFR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans, or to determine or charge interest or fees based on SOFR, Term SOFR or the Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable Available Currency in the Londonany applicable interbank market, or Canadian Dollars through bankers’ acceptances, then, on



notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to perform such obligations, to make maintain, fund, commit to, participate in or continue Term SOFR Loans or Canadian BA Rate Term CORRA Loans, as applicable, or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans, or U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans or German Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended, (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender to make or maintain U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to Term SOFR or the Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA, as applicable, the interest rate applicable to such Lender’s U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall, as necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of U.S. Base Rate or Canadian Base Rate, or the Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), until such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such Lender’s determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, the applicable Borrower(s) with respect to such Loans shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans, U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans or German Base Rate Loans (which alternative to prepayment aforesaid shall only be applicable in relation to any Term SOFR Loans of such Lenders to a U.K./Dutch Borrower or the German Borrower, in each case, in the case of any such Term SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars), or all Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans and charge applicable interest to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower(s) with respect to such Loans shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan, a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan, a SONIA Loan, a SARON Loan or a EURIBOR Loan, or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable (i) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 3.6(b) or Section 3.6(c) and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.6(b), clause (i)(A) of Section 3.6(c), or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate or the Canadian BA Rate Cessation Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (, as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the Applicable Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan, SONIA Loan, SARON Loan or EURIBOR Loan, or in connection with an existing or proposed U.S. Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan, or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, or (ii) Agent or the U.S. Required Lenders, with respect to U.S. Revolver Loans, or the Canadian Required Lenders, with respect to Canadian Revolver Loans, or the U.K./Dutch Required Lenders, with respect to U.K./Dutch Revolver Loans, or the German Required Lenders, with respect to German Revolver Loans, determine that for any reason Term SOFR, SONIA, SARON, EURIBOR or the



Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA for the Applicable Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan, Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan, SONIA Loan, SARON Loan or EURIBOR Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Applicable Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, SARON Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans, or to convert U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, SARON Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the U.S. Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, or the Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization of such component in determining the U.S. Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, shall be suspended, in each case until Agent (or, in the case of a determination by U.S. Required Lenders, the Canadian Required Lenders, the U.K./Dutch Required Lenders or the German Required Lenders described above, until Agent upon instruction by the U.S. Required Lenders, Canadian Required Lenders, U.K./Dutch Required Lenders or German Required Lenders, as applicable) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (I) the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan, SONIA Loan, SARON Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loan, SONIA Loan, SARON Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan or Interest Period) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a U.S. Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, a U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loan, or a German Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein, (II) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall convert to U.S. Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, at the end of their respective Interest Periods, (III) any outstanding Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans shall convert to Canadian Prime Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods, and (IV) any outstanding affected SONIA Loans, SARON Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall either (1) be converted into a U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loan or a German Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Loan (immediately in the case of SONIA Loans and SARON Loans and, in the case of EURIBOR Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period) or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of a SONIA Loan or a SARON Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of a EURIBOR Loan; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower Agent (x) in the case of a SONIA Loan or a SARON Loan, by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Agent of such notice of (y) in the case of a EURIBOR Loan, by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable EURIBOR Loan, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower Agent) that the Borrower Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:



(i)     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for a currency, including because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)     the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Agreed Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Agent, that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency after such specific date (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
then, in relation to Term SOFR Loans, on a date and time determined by Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Term SOFR Successor Rate”).
If the Term SOFR Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in relation to Term SOFR, if Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) in relation to any Relevant Rate, if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.6(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Relevant Rate then in effect, then in each case, Agent and the Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.6 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for such alternative benchmarks in similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for such benchmarks in similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to



such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.
Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent in consultation with Parent.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
iii.[Reserved.]
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents:
(i)    Replacing Canadian BA Rate. On May 16, 2022 Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (“RBSL”), the administrator of the Canadian BA Rate, announced in a public statement that the calculation and publication of all tenors of the Canadian BA Rate will permanently cease immediately following a final publication on Friday, June 28, 2024. On the earlier of
(A)    the date that all Available Canadian Tenors of the Canadian BA Rate have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by RBSL and
(B)    June 28, 2024 (the “Canadian BA Rate Cessation Date”), if the then-current Canadian Benchmark is the Canadian BA Rate,
the Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace such Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Canadian Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Canadian Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple CORRA, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.
(ii)    Replacing Future Canadian Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Canadian Benchmark Transition Event, the Canadian Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Canadian



Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Canadian Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Canadian Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Canadian Benchmark Replacement from Canadian Lenders comprising the Canadian Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Canadian Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Canadian Benchmark or such Canadian Benchmark has been announced by the administrator or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Canadian Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Canadian Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Canadian Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Canadian Revolver Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Canadian Benchmark until the Canadian Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Agent that a Canadian Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Canadian Benchmark, and, failing that, the Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Canadian Prime Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Canadian Prime Rate.
(iii)    Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement, the Agent in consultation with Borrower Agent will have the right to make Canadian 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 Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iv)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Canadian Benchmark Replacement, (ii) any occurrence of a Term CORRA Transition Event, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent pursuant to this Section, 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 discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).
(v)    Unavailability of Tenor of Canadian Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Canadian Benchmark Replacement), if the then-current Canadian Benchmark is a term rate (including Term CORRA or the Canadian BA Rate), then (i) the Agent may remove any tenor of such Canadian Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Canadian Benchmark (including Canadian Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Canadian Benchmark (including Canadian Benchmark Replacement) settings.



(vi)    Secondary Term CORRA Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this clause, if a Term CORRA Transition Event and its related Term CORRA Transition Date have occurred, then on and after such Term CORRA Transition Date (i) the Canadian Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a)(i) of such definition will replace the then-current Canadian Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Canadian Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (ii) each Canadian Revolver Loan outstanding on the Term CORRA Transition Date bearing interest based on the then-current Canadian Benchmark shall convert, at the last day of the then current interest payment period, into a Canadian Revolver Loan bearing interest at the Canadian Benchmark Replacement described in clause (a)(i) of such definition for the respective Available Canadian Tenor as selected by the Canadian Borrower as is available for the then-current Canadian Benchmark; provided that, this clause (f) shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Canadian Lenders and the Canadian Borrower a Term CORRA Notice, and so long as the Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the Term CORRA Notice, written notice of objection to such conversion to Term CORRA from Canadian Lenders comprising the Canadian Required Lenders or the Canadian Borrower.
i.For purposes of this Section 3.6, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in the relevant Agreed Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.
Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in Term SOFR, EURIBOR or the Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA) or any Issuing Bank;
subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or participation in LC Obligations, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.9 (or would be covered by Section 5.9 but for exclusions in Sections 5.9.2(a) and 5.9.2(l)) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank); or
impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the Londonany applicable interbank market or the Canadian bankers’ acceptances market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, or Commitment;



and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrower(s) of any Borrower Group with respect to such Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such Issuing Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers (or the applicable Borrower(s) of any Borrower Group with respect to such Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations) will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but the Borrower(s) of any Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if the Borrower(s) of any Borrower Group are required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as



applicable; and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. The Borrower(s) of each affected Borrower Group shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender that has issued a Commitment to such Borrower Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 13.4, or (d) the Borrower(s) of any Borrower Group fail(s) to repay a Term SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan when required hereunder, then such applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Applicable Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds but excluding the Applicable Margin. The Lenders shall not be required to purchase deposits in the Londonany applicable interbank market or any other offshore market to fund any Term SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Loan or to transact in bankers’ acceptances to make any Canadian BA Rateany Term CORRA Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Applicable Lender had purchased such deposits or transacted in such bankers’ acceptances to fund its Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans, as applicable.
Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Requirements of Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower Group to which such excess interest relates or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to such Borrower Group. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.10, if any provision of any of the Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Domiciled Obligor to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Requirements of Law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a



criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Obligors to the applicable recipient under the Loan Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Obligors to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Domiciled Obligors shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the applicable Canadian Domiciled Obligor. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations referred to in this Section 3.10 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Loans to the Canadian Borrower remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro rated over the period from the Original Agreement Closing Date to the date of Full Payment of the Canadian Facility Obligations, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

Whenever Borrowers within a Borrower Group desire funding of a Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, or Canadian Base Rate Loans, (ii) on the Business Day prior to the requested funding date, in the case of U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans or German Base Rate Loans, and (iii) at least three Business Days prior (and at least four Business Days in the case of a U.K./Dutch Revolver Loan or a German Revolver Loan) to the requested funding date, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, SARON Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a U.S. Base Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan (in the case of a Borrowing by the U.S. Borrowers), or as a Canadian Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan, or a Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loan (in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower), or as a U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loan, a Term SOFR Loan, a SONIA Loan or a EURIBOR Loan (in the case of



a Borrowing by the U.K./Dutch Borrowers), or as a German Base Rate Loan, a Term SOFR Loan, a SONIA Loan, a EURIBOR Loan or a SARON Loan (in the case of a Borrowing by a German Borrower), (D) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 daysone month if not specified), and (E) in the case of a Borrowing by the Canadian Borrower, whether such Loan is to be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars.
Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations of the Obligor Group to which such Borrower Group belongs (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses and LC Obligations, but excluding Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans by such Borrower Group on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations and shall bear interest at the per annum rate applicable hereunder to U.S. Base Rate Revolver Loans, in the case of such Obligations owing by any U.S. Facility Obligor, or to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of such Obligations owing by a Canadian Domiciled Obligor, or to U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans, in the case of such Obligations owing by a U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor, or to German Base Rate Loans, in the case of such Obligations owing by a German Domiciled Obligor. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations of an Obligor Group against any operating, investment or other account of an Obligor within such Obligor Group maintained with Agent or any of its Affiliates.
If Borrowers within a Borrower Group establish a controlled disbursement account with Agent or any branch or Affiliate of Agent, then the presentation for payment of any check, ACH or electronic debit, or other payment item at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans by such Borrower Group on the date of such presentation, in the amount of such payment item, and shall bear interest at the per annum rate applicable hereunder to U.S. Base Rate Revolver Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by any U.S. Facility Obligor, or to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by a Canadian Domiciled Obligor, or to U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by a U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor, or to German Base Rate Loans, in the case of insufficient funds owing by a German Domiciled Obligor. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.
Fundings by Lenders.
Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon (Applicable Time Zone) on the proposed funding date (and by 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time



Zone) on the Business Day prior to the proposed funding date, in the case of U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans and German Base Rate Loans) for U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loans or German Base Rate Loans, or by 3:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of Term SOFR Loans, SONIA Loans, SARON Loans, EURIBOR Loans or Canadian BA RateTerm CORRA Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from an Applicable Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the applicable Borrower(s). If an Applicable Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Agent, then the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.
Swingline Loans; Settlement.
Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance U.S. Swingline Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to 10% of the aggregate U.S. Revolver Commitments, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all U.S. Lenders hereunder. Each U.S. Swingline Loan shall constitute a U.S. Base Rate Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to repay U.S. Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Agent (acting through its Canada branch) may, but shall not be obligated to, advance Canadian Swingline Loans to the Canadian Borrower, up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to 10% of the aggregate Canadian Revolver Commitments, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all Canadian Lenders hereunder. Each Canadian Swingline Loan shall constitute a Canadian Prime Rate Revolver Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent (acting through its Canada branch) for its own account. The obligation of the Canadian Borrower to repay Canadian Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent (acting through its Canada branch) and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance U.K./Dutch Swingline Loans to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers, up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to 10% of the aggregate U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all U.K./Dutch Lenders hereunder. Each U.K./Dutch Swingline Loan shall be made in and denominated only in Dollars, and shall constitute a U.K./Dutch Base Rate Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent



for its own account. The obligation of the U.K./Dutch Borrowers to repay U.K./Dutch Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance German Swingline Loans to the German Borrower, up to an aggregate outstanding amount equal to 10% of the aggregate German Revolver Commitments, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all German Lenders hereunder. Each German Swingline Loan shall be made in and denominated only in Dollars, and shall constitute a German Base Rate Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of the German Borrower to repay German Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.
Settlement of Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans among Lenders and Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Agent (but at least weekly), in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any U.S. Swingline Loan may not be settled among the U.S. Lenders hereunder, then each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefor. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any Canadian Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Canadian Lenders hereunder, then each Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefor. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any U.K./Dutch Swingline Loan may not be settled among the U.K./Dutch Lenders hereunder, then each U.K./Dutch Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefore. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any German Swingline Loan may not be settled among the German Lenders hereunder, then each German Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefore.
Notices. Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall



have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.
Defaulting Lender.
Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).
Payments; Fees. Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or readvance the amounts, in accordance with this Agreement, to the Borrowers of the Borrower Group to which such defaulted obligations relate. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fees under Section 3.2.1. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulted Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2, Section 3.2.3, Section 3.2.4, and Section 3.2.5, as applicable, shall be paid to such Lenders. Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.
Cure. Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Banks may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Banks, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

Borrower Agent. Each Borrower and other Obligor hereby designates Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (formerly known as Callaway Golf Company), a Delaware corporation (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower or other Obligor hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or other Obligor. Each of Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower and other Obligor agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Each Borrower hereby releases the Borrower Agent to the extent possible from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing applicable to it under any applicable law, in particular pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).
One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations of the applicable Borrower(s) of each Borrower Group and their respective Guarantors shall constitute one general obligation of such Borrower(s) of such Borrower Group and their respective Guarantors and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral of such Borrower(s) of such Borrower Group and their respective Guarantors; provided, however, that each Credit Party shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower or other Obligor to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower or other Obligor to such Credit Party.
Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of any of the Revolver Commitments, all Obligations with respect thereto shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products. All undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement satisfactory to Agent, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from such damages; and (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its discretion, deems appropriate to protect against such damages. Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 5.10, 12, 14.2 and this Section, and the obligation of each Obligor and Lender with respect to



each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.
Sustainability Adjustments.
The Borrower Agent, in consultation with the Sustainability Coordinator, shall be entitled to establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPI’s”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) targets of Parent and its Subsidiaries. The Sustainability Coordinator and the Obligors may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPI’s and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent) written notice that such Required Lenders object to such ESG Amendment. In the event that Required Lenders deliver a written notice objecting to any such ESG Amendment, an alternative ESG Amendment may be effectuated with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Obligors and the Sustainability Coordinator. Upon effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on Parent’s performance against the KPI’s, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) to the otherwise applicable Applicable Margin for all Loans, U.S. Unused Line Fee Rate, Canadian Unused Line Fee Rate, U.K./Dutch Unused Line Fee Rate, and German Unused Line Fee Rate will be made; provided, that the amount of such adjustments shall not exceed (i) a 0.05% increase and/or a 0.05% decrease in the otherwise applicable Applicable Margin for Loans, or (ii) a 0.01% increase and/or a 0.01% decrease in the otherwise applicable U.S. Unused Line Fee Rate, Canadian Unused Line Fee Rate, U.K./Dutch Unused Line Fee Rate, and German Unused Line Fee Rate payable pursuant to Section 3.2.1, and such adjustments shall not be cumulative. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPI’s will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPI’s in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, and shall identify a sustainability assurance provider (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”), which shall be a qualified external reviewer, independent of the Obligors, with relevant expertise, such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent ratings agency of recognized national standing, and is to be agreed between the Borrower Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the U.S. Unused Line Fee Rate, Canadian Unused Line Fee Rate, U.K./Dutch Unused Line Fee Rate and German Unused Line Fee Rate payable pursuant to Section 3.2.1 or the Applicable Margin for Loans to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders.
The Sustainability Coordinator will (i) assist the Borrower Agent in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection with the ESG Amendment, and (ii) assist the Borrower



Agent in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the ESG Amendment.
This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 14.1 to the contrary.

General Application Provisions. Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts



are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations last reported to Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by Agent, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the last reported amount. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and the order of allocation within each of subclauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower; provided that no amounts may be applied to any purpose other than as set forth in subclauses (a), (b), (c) or (d), respectively, without the consent of Borrower Agent.
Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account of the U.S. Borrowers as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the U.S. Facility Obligations of the U.S. Borrowers at the beginning of the next Business Day, during any Dominion Trigger Period.

During any Dominion Trigger Period, each U.S. Borrower and each other U.S. Facility Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the U.S. Facility Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable.

If, at the end of a Business Day occurring after the Closing Date, after giving effect to such application, if any, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of the U.K. Borrowers and shall be made available to the U.K. Borrowers as long as the Obligations have not been accelerated on account of an Event of Default and in any event subject to the terms of the U.K. Security Agreements. During any Dominion Trigger Period, each of the U.K. Borrowers and each other U.K./Dutch Facility Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agree that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable.
Dominion Account(s) of German Borrower. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account of the German Borrower as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the German Facility Obligations of the German Borrower at the beginning of the next Business Day, during any Dominion Trigger Period.

During any Dominion Trigger Period, the Dutch Borrower and each other U.K./Dutch Facility Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees



that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable.
Loan Account; Account Stated.
Loan Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its usual and customary practices, an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Indebtedness of each of the Borrower(s) within each Borrower Group resulting from each Loan made to such Borrower Group or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower(s) from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in any Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the applicable Borrower(s) to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the Borrower Agent, and each Borrower and other Obligor confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations as and to the extent provided herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Entries Binding. Entries made in any Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.
Taxes.
Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on behalf of any Obligor hereunder shall be free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Taxes. If Requirements of Law requires any Obligor or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or deduction shall be based on information provided pursuant to Section 5.10 and Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrowers or other Obligors shall be increased so that Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been made. In addition, Borrowers and the other Obligors shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.
Payments Free of Tax by the U.K. Borrowers.
Payments Free of Tax. A payment by the U.K. Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be increased under Section 5.9.1 above by reason of a withholding or deduction on



account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom (“Tax Deduction”), if on the date on which the payment falls due:
the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a U.K. Qualified Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a U.K. Qualified Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
the relevant Lender is a U.K. Qualified Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (i)(B) of the definition of U.K. Qualified Lender; and (A) an officer of H.M. Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the U.K. Borrowers making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
the Lender is a U.K. Qualified Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (i)(B) of the definition of U.K. Qualified Lender and (A) the Lender has not given a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrowers; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrowers, on the basis that the U.K. Tax Confirmation would have enabled the U.K. Borrowers to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purposes of Section 930 of ITA; or
the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrowers making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 5.9.2(d) below.
Timing and Amount. If the U.K. Borrowers are required to make a Tax Deduction, the U.K. Borrowers shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the U.K. Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent for the Lender or the Agent entitled to the payment a statement under Section 975 of ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender or the Agent that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
Co-operation between a Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrowers. A Treaty Lender and the U.K. Borrowers making a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-



operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for U.K. Borrowers to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.
Exceptions. Nothing in Section 5.9.2(d) above shall require a Treaty Lender to: (a) register under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme; (b) apply the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to any Loan if it has so registered; or (c) file Treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.9.2(h) below or Section 5.9.2(o) below and the Obligor making that payment has complied with its obligations under Section 5.9.2(i) below or Section 5.9.2(p) below.
Existing Lenders. A U.K. Non-Bank Lender which becomes a Lender on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrowers by entering into this Agreement.
Notice. A U.K. Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the U.K. Borrowers and the Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the U.K. Tax Confirmation.
HMRC DT Treaty Passport schemes. A Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Schedule 5.9.9.
Form DTTP2. Where a Lender includes the indication described in Section 5.9.2(h) above in Schedule 5.9.9, the U.K. Borrowers shall, to the extent that such Lender is a Lender under the facilities made available to the U.K. Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of that filing.
No Filings. If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.9.2(h) above or Section 5.9.2(o) below, no Obligor shall file a form DTTP2 or any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s commitment(s) or its participation in any facility made available under this Agreement.
Payment. Obligors shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, with respect to any Obligations of such Borrower’s Borrower Group, Letters of Credit of such Borrower’s Borrower Group or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all



penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto, as well as any amount that a Lender or an Issuing Bank fails to pay indefeasibly to Agent under Section 5.10. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Agent by Agent, or by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Agent.
Payment by the U.K. Borrowers. Section 5.9.2(k) shall not apply:
with respect to any Tax assessed on a Lender or the Agent: (A) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender or the Agent is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Lender or the Agent is treated as resident for tax purposes or (B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s or the Agent’s lending office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Lender or the Agent; or
to the extent a loss, liability or cost: (A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.9.1 or (B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.9.1 but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 5.9.2(a) applied.
Tax Credit. If the U.K. Borrowers make a payment under Section 5.9.1 or Section 5.9.2(k) (a “U.K. Tax Payment”) and either a Lender or the Agent determines that (i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that U.K. Tax Payment forms part, or to that U.K. Tax Payment and (ii) that Lender or the Agent has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit, that Lender or the Agent shall pay an amount to the U.K. Borrowers which that Lender or the Agent determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the U.K. Tax Payment not been required to be made by the U.K. Borrowers.
New Lenders. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement in the capacity of a U.K./Dutch Lender after the date of this Agreement (“New Lender”) shall indicate, at the time it becomes a New Lender, on and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to the U.K. Borrowers, which of the following categories it falls in: (i) not a U.K. Qualified Lender; (ii) a U.K. Qualified Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or (iii) a Treaty Lender. If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 5.9.2(n) then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a U.K. Qualified Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the U.K. Borrowers). For the avoidance of



doubt, an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3 shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New Lender to comply with this Section 5.9.2(n).
HMRC DT Treaty Passport schemes – New Lenders. A New Lender that is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor) in the assignment notice which it executes pursuant to, or in connection with, Section 13.3 below by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in that assignment notice.
Form DTTP2 – New Lenders. Where a New Lender includes the indication described in Section 5.9.2(o) above in the relevant assignment notice the U.K. Borrowers shall, to the extent that that New Lender becomes a Lender under a facility which is made available to the U.K. Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of that assignment and shall promptly provide the Lender with a copy of that filing.
FATCA Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Third Amended Original Closing Date, the Borrowers and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
Lender Tax Information.
Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to Agent and Borrower Agent, at the times and in form required by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent, sufficient to permit Agent or Borrowers to determine (a) whether or not payments made with respect to Obligations are subject to Taxes, (b) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes for such payments or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
Documentation. If a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If any Foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or reduction of withholding tax for payments with respect to the U.S. Facility Obligations, it shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon request by Agent or Borrower Agent, but only if such Foreign



Lender is legally entitled to do so), (a) IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (d) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN-E and a certificate showing such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Obligor within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or (e) any other form prescribed by Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation necessary to allow Agent and Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Lender Obligations. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Borrower Agent and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank, in each case severally and not jointly with the other Lenders and/or applicable Issuing Bank, shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) the affected Borrower to which such Lender or such Issuing Bank (as applicable) has issued a Commitment and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against such affected Borrower or Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank under any Loan Document.
Guarantee by Obligors.
Guarantee by U.S. Domiciled Obligors.
Joint and Several Liability. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements of each other Obligor under the Loan Documents, except its Excluded Swap Obligations, and that it is a U.S. Facility Guarantor, a Canadian Facility Guarantor, a German Facility Guarantor, and a U.K./Dutch Facility Guarantor hereunder. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor agrees that its guaranty or guarantee of obligations as a U.S. Facility Guarantor, a Canadian Facility Guarantor, a German Facility Guarantor, and a U.K./Dutch Facility Guarantor hereunder, as applicable, constitute a continuing guaranty or guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of all Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or



any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by any Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty or guarantee for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor under the Requirements of Law of its jurisdiction; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Debtor Relief Laws or other Requirements of Law; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Obligor, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, under other Debtor Relief Laws or other Requirements of Law or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of any Secured Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, under other Debtor Relief Laws or other Requirements of Law or otherwise; (h) any Debtor Relief Law or other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment law; (i) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of any Obligor or any other person; (j) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Obligor with any person or persons; (k) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction or by any present or future action of any governmental body or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents; (l) the existence of any claim, set-off, compensation or other rights which any Obligor may have at any time against any other Obligor or any other person, or which any Obligor may have at any time against the Secured Parties, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise; or (m) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.
Waivers.
Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Obligor. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations. It is agreed among each U.S. Domiciled Obligor, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.
Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral (including any



Real Estate owned by any Obligor) by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Obligor or other Person, whether because of any Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Domiciled Obligor consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any U.S. Domiciled Obligor might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Obligor shall not impair any other U.S. Domiciled Obligor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such U.S. Domiciled Obligor’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the applicable Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the applicable Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
Extent of Liability; Contribution.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Domiciled Obligor’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Obligor is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Domiciled Obligor’s Allocable Amount.
If any U.S. Domiciled Obligor makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Obligor is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Domiciled Obligor, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Domiciled Obligor would otherwise have paid if each U.S. Domiciled Obligor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Domiciled Obligor’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all U.S. Domiciled Obligors, then such U.S. Domiciled Obligor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Domiciled Obligor for the amount of such



excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Domiciled Obligor shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such U.S. Domiciled Obligor under this Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any similar applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance Requirements of Law, or the Requirements of Law in Canada or any province or territory thereof, or in England or Germany.
Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each other U.S. Domiciled Obligor that is a Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.11 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each U.S. Domiciled Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Guarantee by Canadian Domiciled Obligors, German Domiciled Obligors and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligors.
Joint and Several Liability. Subject to Section 5.11.7 and to any Requirements of Law limitations with respect to the German Domiciled Obligors, each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Canadian Facility Obligations, U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations, German Facility Obligations, and all agreements of each other Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor under the Loan Documents, except its Excluded Swap Obligations, and that it is a Canadian Facility Guarantor, a German Facility Guarantor and a U.K./Dutch Facility Guarantor hereunder. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor agrees that its guaranty or guarantee of obligations as a Canadian Facility Guarantor, a German Facility Guarantor and a U.K./Dutch Facility Guarantor hereunder, as applicable, constitute a continuing guaranty or guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of all Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or



be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by any Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty or guarantee for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by any Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Requirements of Law; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Obligor, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, under other Requirements of Law or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of any Secured Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, under other Requirements of Law or otherwise; (h) any other insolvency, debtor relief or debt adjustment law (whether state, provincial, federal or foreign, including the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), and the Insolvency Act 1986 of England and the Enterprise Act 2002 of England); (i) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of any Obligor or any other person; (j) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Obligor with any person or persons; (k) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction or by any present or future action of any governmental body or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents; (l) the existence of any claim, set-off, compensation or other rights which any Obligor may have at any time against any other Obligor or any other person, or which any Obligor may have at any time against the Secured Parties, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise; or (m) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.
Waivers.
Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Obligor. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled



Obligor acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.
Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral (including any Real Estate owned by any Obligor) by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor or other Person, whether because of any Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor shall not impair any other Canadian Domiciled Obligor’s, German Domiciled Obligor’s or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations it is jointly and severally liable for and has guaranteed under the Loan Documents. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Canadian Domiciled Obligor’s, German Domiciled Obligor’s or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the applicable Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the applicable Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
Extent of Liability; Contribution.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Canadian Domiciled Obligor’s, German Domiciled Obligor’s and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s liability under this Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which



such Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Canadian Domiciled Obligor’s, German Domiciled Obligor’s and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s U.K./Canadian/German Allocable Amount.
If any Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor is primarily liable) (a “U.K./Canadian/German Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other U.K./Canadian/German Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor, exceeds the amount that such Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor would otherwise have paid if each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such U.K./Canadian/German Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Canadian Domiciled Obligor’s, German Domiciled Obligor’s or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s U.K./Canadian/German Allocable Amount bore to the total U.K./Canadian/German Allocable Amounts of all Canadian Domiciled Obligors, German Domiciled Obligors and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligors, then such Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective U.K./Canadian/German Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such U.K./Canadian/German Guarantor Payment. The “U.K./Canadian/German Allocable Amount” for any Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor or U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor under this Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any similar applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance Requirements of Law, or the Requirements of Law in Canada, Germany or any province or territory thereof, or in England and with respect to the German Domiciled Obligors, subject to Section 5.11.7.
Subject to Section 5.11.7 and to any Requirements of Law limitations with respect to the German Domiciled Obligors, each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, each German Domiciled Obligor and each U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor that is a Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from



time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.11 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Canadian Domiciled Obligor, German Domiciled Obligor and each U.K./Dutch Domiciled Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
No Limitation. Nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall limit the liability of any Obligor to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Obligor (including Loans advanced to any other Obligor and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Obligor), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Obligor’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Obligor shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.
Joint Enterprise. Each Obligor has requested that Agent and Lenders make the credit facilities available to the applicable Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Obligors’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Obligor is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. The Obligors believe that the credit facilities provided to the applicable Borrowers under this Agreement will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of such credit facilities, all to their mutual advantage. Obligors acknowledge that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral as provided under the Loan Documents is done solely as an accommodation to Obligors and at Obligors’ request.
California Waivers.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, each of the Obligors hereby understands and acknowledges that if Agent forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any Collateral consisting of Real Estate located in California for the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that the Obligors may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from one another based on any right any Obligor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by the Obligors under this Agreement. Each of the Obligors further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of the Obligors’ rights, if any, may entitle the Obligors to



assert a defense to this Agreement based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Agreement, each Obligor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that the Obligors will be fully liable under this Agreement even though Agent may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that the Obligors will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which Agent may commence to enforce this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by the Obligors in this Agreement include any right or defense that the Obligors may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that Agent and the Lenders are relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which Agent and the Lenders are receiving for creating the Obligations.
Each of the Obligors waives all rights and defenses that each Obligor may have because of any of the Obligations is secured by Real Estate. This means, among other things: (i) Agent may collect from the Obligors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Obligors; and (ii) if Agent forecloses on any Collateral consisting of Real Estate pledged by the Obligors: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Agent may collect from the Obligors even if Agent, by foreclosing on the Collateral consisting of Real Estate, has destroyed any right the Obligors may have to collect from one another. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Obligors may have because any of the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Each of the Obligors waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.
Subordination. Each Obligor hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.
German Limitations. On the basis of the judgments LG Darmstadt, 25.4.2013 − 16 O 195/12, OLG Frankfurt a. M., 8.11.2013 − 24 U 80/13 A, BGH, 10.1.2017 – II ZR 94/15 and BGH, 21.3.2017 – II ZR 93/16 the respective directors (Geschäftsführer) of each German Facility Obligor incorporated or established (as the case may be) in Germany (a “German Guarantor”) have assessed the financing concept provided for in connection with this Agreement and are satisfied by its robustness. In the case that during the lifetime of this Agreement the directors of a German Guarantor reasonably expect to suffer a personal liability in the case of an



enforcement of this Section 5.11, the Secured Parties agree to the following limitations in order to avoid a personal liability of the directors (Geschäftsführer) or managing directors, respectively, of that German Guarantor (and/ or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner’s directors (Geschäftsführer)) as follows:
i.To the extent a German Guarantor guarantees or indemnifies any obligations under this Section 5.11 or any other provision of the Loan Documents of any of its Holding Companies or Affiliates (other than a Subsidiary of that German Guarantor) and that the German Guarantor is a GmbH, a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, the enforcement of the respective obligations of that German Guarantor under this Section 5.11 (or any other relevant provision of the Loan Documents) shall, subject to paragraphs (b) to (d) below, be limited to the amount that would not lead to the situation, that (i) such German Guarantor’s net assets (for the purposes of this clause net assets means the assets (taking into consideration the assets listed under Section 266 paragraph 2 A, B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB)) less the aggregate of its liabilities (taking into consideration the liabilities listed under Section 266 paragraph 3 B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB)) of the German Guarantor in each case as calculated in accordance with the applicable law at that time fall below its (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) registered share capital (Stammkapital) or (ii), if its (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner’s) net assets are already below its (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner’s) registered share capital, the existing shortage in its (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner’s) net assets would be further increased in each case in violation of Sections 30, 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies’ Act (GmbHG).
ii.The limitations set out in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.11.7 only apply:
1.if and to the extent that the managing directors on behalf of such German Guarantor have evidenced (in reasonable detail) in writing to the Agent (a “German Management Confirmation”) within 15 Business Days of demand under this Section 5.11 (or the respective other provision of the Loan Documents) the amount of the obligations under this Section 5.11 (or the respective other provision of the Loan Documents) which cannot be met without causing the net assets of such German Guarantor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner) to fall below its registered share capital or further reducing an existing shortage of its net assets below its registered share capital; and
2.in case a Lender raises an objection against the German Management Confirmation and the Agent notifies the respective German Guarantor of such objection, if the Agent receives within 25 Business Days after such



notification a written audit report prepared at the expense of the relevant German Guarantor by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation that has been appointed by the respective German Guarantor with a view to investigating to what extent the net assets of that German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner) exceeded its registered share capital.
iii.The limitations set out in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.11.7 shall not apply to a guarantee in respect of loans made to the German Guarantor under this Agreement to the extent they are on-lent to, or letters of credit (or similar instruments under any Ancillary Facility) to the extent issued for the benefit of, that German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries (and/ or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG or a GmbH & Co. KGaA, its general partner and the general partner’s Subsidiaries) and such amount on-lent or benefit granted has not been returned prior to the time of the intended enforcement.
iv.In any event the Secured Parties shall be entitled to enforce the guarantee and indemnities up to the amount that is undisputed between them and the relevant German Guarantor and, in relation to the amount which is disputed, the Secured Parties shall be entitled to further pursue their claims (if any) and the German Guarantor shall be entitled to provide evidence that the disputed amount is necessary for maintaining its or its general partner’s registered share capital or avoiding a further reduction of an existing shortage of its net assets below its registered share capital.
v.In any event the Secured Parties shall be entitled to enforce the guarantee and indemnities without any limitations if:
1.a domination and/ or profit and loss pooling agreement (Beherrschungs- und/ oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) has been entered into with the German Guarantor as dominated party (beherrschtes Unternehmen);
2.the German Guarantor has an adequate counterclaim (vollwertiger Gegenanspruch) against its shareholder for the indemnification of any amount paid by it under the guarantee and indemnities;
3.insolvency proceedings have been opened in relation to that German Guarantor;
4.by law, changes in applicable law or applicable court rulings of the Federal Supreme Court the limitations set out in this Section 5.11.7 are not deemed to be longer required to protect the management of the German Guarantor; or



5.the German Guarantor has not complied with its obligations under this Section 5.11.7.
vi.Subject to paragraphs (g) and (h) below, any guarantee and/or indemnity granted under this Section 5.11 by a German Guarantor that is incorporated as a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) or a partnership limited by shares (Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien), including, for the avoidance of doubt, a GmbH & Co. KGaA, or any Subsidiary of such German Guarantor shall not secure liabilities which are owed by direct or indirect shareholders of such German Guarantor or Subsidiaries of such shareholders (for the avoidance of doubt, such subsidiaries not to include the German Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) except if and for so long as the German Guarantor is a party to a domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) within the meaning of section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) as the dominated party with a direct or indirect shareholder or any Subsidiary of such shareholder (for the avoidance of doubt, such Subsidiaries not to include the German Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) as the dominating party.
vii.If a domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) within the meaning of section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) is in force between the German Guarantor and a direct or indirect shareholder or any Subsidiary of such shareholder (for the avoidance of doubt, such Subsidiaries not to include the German Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) with the direct or indirect shareholder or relevant Subsidiary as the dominating party, any guarantee and/or indemnity granted under this Section 5.11 by the German Guarantor or by any Subsidiary of such German Guarantor shall be fully enforceable (vollstreckbar), except that it shall not be enforceable (vollstreckbar) if and to the extent that despite the existence of such circumstances there would be a violation of section 57 para. 1 sentence 1 or section 71a para. 1 sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz).
viii.Except if and to the extent that despite the existence of the circumstances set out in paragraphs (i) to (iii) below there would be a violation of section 57 para. 1 sentence 1 or section 71a para. 1 sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), the restrictions in paragraphs (f) and (g) above shall not apply to any amounts which:
1.correspond to funds that have been borrowed under this Agreement and have been on-lent to, or otherwise been passed on to, the German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case to the extent that any such on-lent or passed-on funds are still outstanding at the date a demand is made under any guarantee and/or indemnity granted under this Section 5.11 (in each case, the “Demand Date”);



2.correspond to letters of credit or bank guarantees issued for the benefit of creditors of the German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries by a Secured Party under the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent outstanding at the Demand Date; or
3.are covered (and to the extent they are covered) by a fully recoverable indemnity claim or claim for refund (vollwertiger und durchsetzbarer Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) of the German Guarantor against its shareholder that can be accounted for in the balance sheet of the German Guarantor at full value (vollwertig),
provided that the Agent has waived with binding effect on the Secured Parties any restrictions otherwise applicable to the German Guarantor under the Loan Documents with respect to demanding, enforcing, setting off or otherwise claiming or discharging any of its recourse claims (if any) arising as a result of the enforcement of any guarantee and/or indemnity granted under this Section 5.11 so that it shall be permitted for the German Guarantor to (1) set off its recourse claim (if any) against the loan obligation in respect of any amounts so on-lent to it, (2) otherwise use its recourse claim (if any) to settle or discharge such loan obligation, or (3) to claim to be indemnified by another Obligor (including to bring legal or other proceedings against another Obligor in that regard).
ix.The restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) or paragraph (f) of this Section 5.11.7 shall not imply any full or partial waiver of any amount owed under the guarantee and indemnity under this Section 5.11, but shall impede only temporarily the enforcement of the guarantee and indemnity under this Section 5.11 to the extent the enforcement of the guarantee and indemnity under this Section 5.11 is limited by the restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) or paragraph (f), respectively, of this Section 5.11.7.
5.11.8    U.K. Limitations. The guarantees under this Section 5.11 shall not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 and, with respect to any U.K. Subsidiary, is subject to any limitations set out in any Joinder Agreement applicable to such U.K. Subsidiary.
Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrowers hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by Agent. The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Each repayment of a Loan or LC Obligation or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or LC Obligation is denominated at the time of that repayment;



Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is denominated;
Each payment of fees by any Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be in Dollars;
Each payment in respect of Extraordinary Expenses and any other costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made;
Any amount expressed to be payable in Canadian Dollars shall be paid in Canadian Dollars;
Any amount expressed to be payable in British Pounds shall be paid in British Pounds;
Any amount expressed to be payable in Swiss Francs shall be paid in Swiss Francs; and
Any amount expressed to be payable in Euros shall be paid in Euros.
No payment to any Credit Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Obligor in respect of which it was made unless and until such Credit Party shall have received Full Payment in the currency in which such obligation or liability is payable pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 5.12. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, be less than the full amount of such obligation or liability (actual or contingent) expressed in that currency, such Obligor (together with the other Obligors who are liable thereunder or obligated therefor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Credit Party with respect to the amount of such deficiency, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in such deficiency. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Credit Party shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, such Credit Party shall return such excess to the Borrower Agent.
Currency Fluctuations. On each Business Day or such other date determined by Agent (the “Calculation Date”), Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such date.

Certain After-Acquired Collateral. In each case, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms hereof, and excluding Excluded Property:
If after the Closing Date, any indebtedness for borrowed money from any person other than any Obligor to any Obligor shall be evidenced by any Instrument (other than a check to be deposited) or Tangible Chattel Paper, in each case, constituting Collateral and having a face amount exceeding $10,000,000, the Obligor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall promptly (but in any event within the later of (x) thirty (30) days after receipt thereof or (y) the next date of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 10.1.1(a) or (b), or such longer time as Agent shall permit in its reasonable discretion) endorse, assign and deliver the same to Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify.
If any Obligor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit constituting Collateral now or hereafter issued, such Obligor shall promptly notify Agent thereof and such Obligor shall, at the request of Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with Agent agreeing, in each case, that, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided herein. The actions in the preceding sentence shall not be required to the extent that the amount of any such Letter of Credit does not exceed $10,000,000.
If any Obligor shall at any time after the Closing Date obtain any interest in Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute Collateral as if such Intellectual Property would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution of this Agreement and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Such Obligor shall promptly (and in any event no later than the later of (x) ninety (90) days or (y) the next date of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 10.1.1(a) or (b) or such longer period as Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion) provide to Agent written notice of any of the foregoing Collateral consisting of registrations of or applications for U.S. and Canadian Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights, and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any such interest in Intellectual Property constituting Collateral by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral, including prompt recordals with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, as applicable.



In the event that any Collateral, including Proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Investment Property having an aggregate value or face amount of $10,000,000 or more for all such Investment Property, if and to the extent that perfection or priority of Agent’s security interest under the Loan Documents is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Obligor shall (i) promptly (and in any event no later than the later of (x) ninety (90) days or (y) the next date of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 10.1.1(a) or (b) or such longer period as Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion) notify Agent thereof, and (ii) thereafter promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as agreed to by Agent in writing in its reasonable discretion)) after request by Agent, shall execute such other documents and instruments as shall be requested by Agent or, if applicable, endorse and deliver physical possession of such Investment Property to Agent, together with such undated powers (or other relevant document of transfer acceptable to Agent) endorsed in blank as shall be requested by Agent, and shall do such other acts or things deemed necessary or desirable by Agent to protect Agent’s security interest therein.
No Assumption of Liability. The Liens on the Collateral granted hereunder are given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of any Obligor relating to any Collateral. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Obligor.
Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, Obligors shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent reasonably deems appropriate under Requirements of Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Obligor authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that Agent reasonably deems desirable to preserve and perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral of such Obligor, and ratifies any action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

Taxes. If an Account of any Obligor includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Obligor and to charge the Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group therefor; provided, however, that neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from any Obligor or with respect to any Collateral.

Payment of Taxes. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income or businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon; provided that no such Tax need be paid if (a) it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (i) adequate reserves or other appropriate provisions, as are required in conformity with GAAP, have been made therefor and (ii) in the case of a Tax which has resulted or may result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or (b) failure to pay or discharge the same could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.



Maintenance of Properties. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation excepted, all property reasonably necessary to the normal conduct of business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries and from time to time will make or cause to be made all needed and appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof, in each case except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or where the failure to maintain such properties or make such repairs, renewals or replacements could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

[Reserved].
Maintenance of Books and Records. The Parent will, and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account containing entries of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Compliance with Laws. The Parent will comply, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to comply, with (a) all applicable Requirements of Law (including applicable ERISA, PBA and Environmental Laws and except for applicable Sanctions, the PATRIOT Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and Anti-Corruption Laws), except to the extent the failure of the Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) all applicable Sanctions, the PATRIOT Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects; provided that the requirements set



forth in this Section 10.1.8, as they pertain to compliance by any Foreign Subsidiary with applicable Sanctions, the PATRIOT ACT and other Anti-Terrorism Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws are subject to and limited by any Requirement of Law applicable to such Foreign Subsidiary in its relevant local jurisdiction.

as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of all environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports of any kind or character, whether prepared by personnel of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, governmental authorities or any other Persons, with respect to significant environmental matters at any Borrower’s real property or with respect to any Environmental Claims that, in each case might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
promptly upon the occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (A) any Release required to be reported by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under any applicable Environmental Laws that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (B) any remedial action taken by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any other Person of which the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has knowledge in response to (1) any Hazardous Materials Activity the existence of which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (2) any Environmental Claim that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (C) discovery by any Borrower of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

with reasonable promptness, such other documents and information as from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Agent in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 10.1.9(a).
Hazardous Materials Activities, Etc. The Parent shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all actions necessary to (i) cure any violation of applicable Environmental Laws by the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and address with appropriate corrective or remedial action any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at or from any Facility, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) make an appropriate response to any Environmental Claim against the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder, in each case, where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
Designation of Subsidiaries. The Borrower Agent may at any time after the Closing Date designate (or redesignate) any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to such designation, no Event of Default exists (including after giving effect to the reclassification of Investments in, Indebtedness of and Liens on the assets of, the applicable Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary) and (ii) as of the date of the designation thereof, no Unrestricted Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock in any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent or holds any Indebtedness of or any Lien on any property of the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries (unless the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted to incur such Indebtedness or grant such Lien in favor of such Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Sections 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 and the relevant transaction with such Person is permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.9). The designation of any subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Parent (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary) therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such subsidiary attributable to the Parent’s (or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s) equity interest therein as estimated by the Parent in good faith (and such designation shall only be



permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted under Section 10.2.6). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the making, incurrence or granting, as applicable, at the time of designation of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that upon a re-designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Parent shall be deemed to continue to have an Investment in the resulting Restricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (a) the Parent’s “Investment” in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such re-designation, less (b) the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Parent’s equity therein at the time of such re-designation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Borrower be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary without the consent of the Required Lenders.
Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans on and after the Closing Date to finance the Transactions and the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Parent and its subsidiaries (including for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, the payment of transaction fees and expenses, Investments, Restricted Payments, Restricted Debt Payments and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that would entail a violation of Regulation U or X. The Borrowers will not directly or, to their knowledge, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds (x) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law, (y) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating the activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, except to the extent permitted in compliance with applicable Sanctions or (z) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanction applicable to any party hereto.

requirements set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” and (B) upon the reasonable request of the Agent, cause such Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) to deliver to the Agent a signed copy of a customary opinion of counsel for such Restricted Subsidiary, addressed to the Agent and the other relevant Secured Parties.
Any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, or that is required to be become an Obligor in accordance with clause (a) above may, at the request of the Borrower Agent, and subject to the consent of the Agent, (i) become a U.S. Borrower if such Restricted Subsidiary is a U.S. Subsidiary, (ii) become a Canadian Borrower if such Restricted Subsidiary is a Canadian Subsidiary, (iii) become a U.K./Dutch Borrower if such Restricted Subsidiary is a U.K. Subsidiary or a Dutch Subsidiary, and (iv) become a German Borrower if such Restricted Subsidiary is a German Subsidiary, in each case, subject to: (x) receipt by each Lender of all documentation and other information regarding such Restricted Subsidiary as may be required to comply with the applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations under each applicable Requirement of Law; and (y) satisfactory completion by Agent of diligence (including field exams and/or appraisals) deemed necessary by Agent. Agent and Borrower Agent shall be permitted to make such technical amendments to this Agreement as shall be necessary to reflect the accession of any such additional Borrowers without the consent of any Lender or any other Person. This clause shall supersede any provisions in Section 14.1 to the contrary.
At the request of Agent at any time, Borrowers shall cause the holders of all Capital Stock of the German Borrower to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements and to take such other actions as Agent shall require to evidence and perfect a Lien in favor of Agent on all such Capital Stock of the German Borrower, including delivery of legal opinions, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, as it shall deem appropriate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that:
the Agent may grant extensions of time (including, after the expiration of any relevant period, which apply retroactively) for the creation and perfection of security interests in, or obtaining of any legal opinion, insurance or other deliverable with respect to, particular assets or the provision of any Loan Guaranty by any Restricted Subsidiary, and each Lender hereby consents to any such extension of time;
any Lien required to be granted or perfected from time to time pursuant to the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” and/or any action requested in connection therewith shall be subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and any applicable intercreditor agreement;
[reserved];

no action shall be required to perfect any Lien with respect to (A) any vehicle or other asset subject to a certificate of title, and any retention of title, extended retention of title right, or similar right, (B) any Letter-of-Credit Right or (C) the Capital Stock of any Immaterial Subsidiary, in each case to the extent that a security interest therein cannot be perfected by filing a Form UCC-1 or PPSA (or similar) financing statement;
no action shall be required to perfect a Lien in any asset in respect of which the perfection of a security interest therein would (A) be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment provisions set forth in any contract that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and, other than in the case of capital leases, purchase money and similar financings and restrictions on cash deposits, is binding on such asset at the time of its acquisition and not incurred in contemplation thereof, (B) violate the terms of any contract relating to such asset that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and, other than in the case of capital leases, purchase money and similar financings and restrictions on cash deposits, is binding on such asset at the time of its acquisition and not incurred in contemplation thereof, in each case, after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law or (C) trigger termination of any contract relating to such asset that is permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and, other than in the case of capital leases, purchase money and similar financings and restrictions on cash deposits, is binding on such asset at the time of its acquisition and not incurred in contemplation thereof pursuant to any “change of



control” or similar provision, it being understood that the Collateral shall include any proceeds and/or receivables arising out of any contract described in this clause to the extent the assignment of such proceeds or receivables is expressly deemed effective under the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable Requirements of Law notwithstanding the relevant prohibition, violation or termination right;
no Obligor shall be required to perfect a security interest in any asset to the extent the perfection of a security interest in such asset would be prohibited under any applicable Requirement of Law;
any joinder or supplement to any Loan Guaranty, any Security Document and/or any other Loan Document executed by any Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become an Obligor pursuant to Section 10.1.12(a) above (including any Joinder Agreement) may, with the consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), include such schedules (or updates to schedules) as may be necessary to qualify any representation or warranty set forth in any Loan Document to the extent necessary to ensure that such representation or warranty is true and correct to the extent required thereby or by the terms of any other Loan Document;
the Agent shall not require the taking of a Lien on, or require the perfection of any Lien granted in, any asset as to which the cost of obtaining or perfecting such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, recording, intangibles or other tax or expenses relating to such Lien) outweighs the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby as reasonably determined by the Parent and the Agent; and
the Agent and the Parent may execute and/or consent to such easements, covenants, subdivisions, rights of way or similar instruments (and Agent may agree to subordinate the lien of any mortgage to any such easement, covenant, subdivision, right of way or similar instrument or record or may agree to recognize any tenant pursuant to an agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent), as are reasonable or necessary in connection with any project or transactions otherwise permitted hereunder.
Post-Closing Covenants. Except as otherwise agreed by the Agent in its reasonable discretion, the Parent shall, and shall cause each of the other Obligors to, deliver each of the documents, instruments and agreements and take each of the actions set forth on Schedule 10.1.13, if any, within the time periods set forth therein (or such longer time periods as determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion).
Further Assurances. Promptly upon request of the Agent and subject to the limitations described in Section 10.1.12:
The Parent will, and will cause each other Obligor to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements, instruments, notices and acknowledgments and

The Obligations ceasing or the assertion in writing by any Obligor that the Obligations cease to constitute senior indebtedness under the subordination provisions of any document or instrument evidencing any Junior Lien Indebtedness or any such subordination provision being invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order, or otherwise ceasing, for any reason, to be valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto; or



The occurrence of one or more of the following, which individually or in the aggregate result in liability of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (A) a Termination Event shall occur or any Canadian Multi-Employer Plan shall be terminated, in each case, in circumstances which would result or could reasonably be expected to result in a Canadian Facility Obligor required to make a contribution to or in respect of a Canadian Pension Plan or a Canadian Multi-Employer Plan or results in the appointment of an administrator to wind up a Canadian Pension Plan; (B) any Canadian Domiciled Obligor is in default with respect to any required contributions to a Canadian Pension Plan or fails to eliminate a solvency deficiency or keep such plan fully funded; or (C) any Lien arises (save for contribution amounts not yet due) in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan.
Remedies upon Default. If an Event of Default described in Section 11.1(f) or Section 11.1(g) occurs with respect to any Borrower, then to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall become automatically due and payable and all Commitments shall terminate, without any action by Agent or notice of any kind. In addition, if any other Event of Default exists, Agent may in its discretion (and shall upon written direction of Required Lenders) do any one or more of the following from time to time:
declare any Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall be due and payable without diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law;

require Obligors to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations and other Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable; and

Each Obligor agrees that 10 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Agent shall be reasonable. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Obligor’s premises, without charge, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Requirements of Law. Agent



shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.
License. Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person), exercisable at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any or all Intellectual Property of Obligors, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral.

The rights of Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.
Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.
Cumulative Rights. All agreements, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Obligors under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation of each other. The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.
Waivers. No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (a) the failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Obligors with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (b) the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit during a Default, Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (c) acceptance by Agent or any Lender of any payment or performance by an Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein. It is expressly acknowledged by Obligors that any failure to satisfy a



financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date.
Judgment Currency. If, for purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum from the currency provided under a Loan Document (“Agreement Currency”) into another currency, the Spot Rate shall be used as the rate of exchange. Notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (“Judgment Currency”) other than the Agreement Currency, an Obligor shall discharge its obligation in respect of any sum due under a Loan Document only if, on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or any Secured Party of payment in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Secured Party can use the amount paid to purchase the sum originally due in the Agreement Currency. If the purchased amount is less than the sum originally due, such Obligor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent and Secured Parties against such loss. If the purchased amount is greater than the sum originally due, Agent or such Secured Party shall return the excess amount to such Obligor (or to the Person legally entitled thereto).
Agent
Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.
Appointment and Authority.
Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as Agent under all Loan Documents. Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the benefit of Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by Agent, Required Lenders, U.S. Required Lenders, Canadian Required Lenders, German Required Lenders, or U.K./Dutch Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts, Credit Card Receivables, Toptracer Bays or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts, Eligible Credit Card



Receivables, Eligible Toptracer Bays, Eligible Inventory or Eligible In-Transit Inventory, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.
For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Quebec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Obligor and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Obligor in respect of all Obligations owed by each such Obligor to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Quebec, each such Obligor is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Obligor not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.
Without limiting the foregoing or any powers of Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Obligor, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the present and future creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code (in such capacity, the “Attorney”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec. The Attorney shall: (i) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (ii) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties and Obligors. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Attorney as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 also constitutes the substitution of the Attorney.



Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.
Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Requirements of Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Requirements of Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.
Agent as Security Trustee. In this Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreements, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of Agent shall be, as the case may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor of, Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties to the extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to the U.K. Security Agreements or the security thereby created. Any obligations of Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement and U.K. Security Agreements shall be obligations of Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties to the extent that the obligations relate to the U.K. Security Agreements or the security thereby created. Additionally, in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Section 12; (ii) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by the U.K. Security Agreements and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under the U.K. Security Agreements and/or any of the Loan Documents.



Appointment of Agent as Security Trustee. Each Secured Party hereby appoints Agent to act as its trustee under and in relation to the U.K. Security Agreements and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms contained in the U.K. Security Agreements and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to Agent as security trustee of Secured Parties by the terms of the U.K. Security Agreements together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Liens. Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties.
Successors. Secured Parties agree that, if at any time that the Person acting as security trustee of Secured Parties in respect of the U.K. Security Agreements shall be a Person other than Agent, such other Person shall have the rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties under this Agreement and the U.K. Security Agreements.
Capacity. Nothing in Sections 12.1.5 to 12.1.8 shall require Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties under the U.K. Security Agreements to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the U.K. which may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.
Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.
Lien Releases; Care of Collateral.
Secured Parties irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to, and Agent shall, release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (A) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (B) that is the subject of a Disposition permitted hereunder to a Person which is not an Obligor so long as, if reasonably requested by Agent, Borrower Agent certifies in writing to Agent that such Disposition is permitted hereunder (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (C) that constitutes Excluded Property; (D) that is owned by an Obligor upon the release of such Obligor in accordance with the terms hereof; or (E) with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders to the extent required by Section 14.1.1(d)(v).
Subject to Section 14.26, Secured Parties irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to, and Agent shall: release any Obligor (other than a Borrower) from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including its Loan Guaranty) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted hereunder and the Parent has requested that such Obligor cease to be an Obligor); provided, that the release of any Obligor from its obligations under the



Loan Documents if such Obligor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if such Obligor did not become an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof as a result of (A) a transfer of its equity interests to any Affiliate of the Parent for a non-bona fide business purpose for less than fair market value or (B) a non-bona fide transaction the primary purpose of which was to cause such entity to become a non-wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent in order to release it from the Loan Documents (or its Loan Guaranty).
Secured Parties authorize Agent to release its Lien over any Collateral subject to a Lien permitted under Section 10.2.2(n) and subordinate its Liens to any Lien permitted under Section 10.2.2(c), (d), (e), (f), (g)(i), (k) (with respect to a refinancing of any other Lien referred to in this clause (c)), (l) (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Facility Agreement), (m), (n), (o), (q), (r), (s), (u) (to the extent such Lien is of a type with respect to which subordination is otherwise permitted under this clause (c) (other than with respect to 10.2.2(l))), (y), (bb), (cc), (dd), (ee), (ff), (gg), (hh), (ii), and/or (jj) (and any Lien securing any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 10.2.2(k)).
Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
Upon the request of Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Obligor from its obligations under the Loan Documents or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 12. In each case as specified in this Article 12, Agent will (and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Obligor such documents as such Obligor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Obligor from its obligations under any Loan Guaranty or as a Borrower, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 12.
Possession of Collateral. Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
Reports. Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared by or for Agent with respect to any



Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither Bank of America nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the applicable Obligors’ books and records as well as upon representations of the applicable Obligors’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except: (i) to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent permitted by law, (x) inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), or (iii) to the extent required by Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or other legal process (in which case such Person shall (x) to the extent permitted by law, inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment)) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.
Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals. Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.
Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Requirements of Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC or PPSA sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral.



Ratable Sharing. No Lender shall set off against any Dominion Account without the prior written consent of Agent. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, the U.S. Issuing Banks (if such Obligation is a U.S. Facility Obligation), the Canadian Issuing Bank (if such Obligation is a Canadian Facility Obligation), the German Issuing Bank (if such Obligation is a German Facility Obligation), the U.K./Dutch Issuing Bank (if such Obligation is a U.K./Dutch Facility Obligation), and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction.
Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE (OTHER THAN CLAIMS THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE), PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT). In Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Agent is sued by any Creditor Representative, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.
Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the



assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.
Successor Agent and Co-Agents.
Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a U.S. Lender or an Affiliate of a U.S. Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Borrower Agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, then Agent may appoint a successor agent from among Lenders or, if no Lender accepts such role, Agent may appoint Required Lenders as successor Agent. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of Required Lenders as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent (including as security trustee of Secured Parties under the U.K. Security Agreements) without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock shall continue to be Agent (including as security trustee of Secured Parties under the U.K. Security Agreements) hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.
Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Requirements of Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Requirements of Law, Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.



Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates.
Remittance of Payments and Collections.
Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Applicable Time Zone), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.
Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Obligors be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.
Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to Requirements of Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be



required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Requirements of Law, each Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.
Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “U.S. Required Lenders,” “Canadian Required Lenders,” “German Required Lenders,” “U.K./Dutch Required Lenders,” or any similar term shall include Bank of America, if applicable, in its capacity as a Lender. Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America were not Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. In their individual capacities, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.
Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.
Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by Section 5.6 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations, unless such Claim is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee.
No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Obligors (except for the consent rights set forth in Section 12.8.1) or any other Person. As between Obligors and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.
Benefit of Agreement; Assignments
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an



assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.
Participations.
Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with Requirements of Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Obligors shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Obligors and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrower Agent agrees otherwise in writing.
Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date (if such Participant has an interest in the Canadian Revolver Commitments), U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date (if such Participant has an interest in the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments), German Revolver Commitment Termination Date (if such Participant has an interest in the German Revolver Commitments), or U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date (if such Participant has an interest in the U.S. Revolver Commitments), or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, any Guarantor(s) constituting a substantial portion of the Loan Guaranty or any substantial portion of the Collateral.
Benefit of Set-Off. Obligors agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.



Assignments.
Permitted Assignments.
A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower Agent (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in their respective discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (ii) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower Agent (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in their respective discretion); and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (y) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, however, that any payment by Obligors to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Obligors’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made unless after giving effect thereto:
the percentage of each U.S. Lender’s U.S. Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.S. Revolver Commitments equals the percentage of such Lender’s and such Lender’s Affiliates’ and branches’: (1) Canadian Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all Canadian Revolver Commitments, (2) U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, and (3) German Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all German Revolver Commitments;
the percentage of each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all Canadian Revolver Commitments equals the percentage of such Lender’s and such Lender’s Affiliates’ and branches’: (1) U.S. Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.S. Revolver Commitments, (2) U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, and (3) German Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all German Revolver Commitments;



the percentage of each German Lender’s German Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all German Revolver Commitments equals the percentage of such Lender’s and such Lender’s Affiliates’ and branches’: (1) U.S. Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.S. Revolver Commitments, (2) U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, and (3) Canadian Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all Canadian Revolver Commitments; and
the percentage of each U.K./Dutch Lender’s U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments equals the percentage of such Lender’s and such Lender’s Affiliates’ and branches’: (1) U.S. Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all U.S. Revolver Commitments, (2) Canadian Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all Canadian Revolver Commitments, and (3) German Revolver Commitment to the aggregate amount of all German Revolver Commitments.
Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit C and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.10 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.
Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to an Obligor, Affiliate of an Obligor, Defaulting Lender or natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural person). In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans and LC Obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Requirements of Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.
Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent or Borrower Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, either (i) terminate



the Commitments of such Lender (and its Affiliates and branches) and repay all outstanding Obligations of such Lender (and its Affiliates and branches), or (ii) require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s), in each case, within 20 days after the notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).
Miscellaneous
Consents, Amendments and Waivers.
Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders or of Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that
without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Agent;
without the prior written consent of each affected Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC Obligations, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4, or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of such affected Issuing Bank;
without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, including a Defaulting Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2) (it being understood that no modification to any financial ratio or availability ratio or defined term as used therein shall be deemed to be a reduction of the amount of interest or fees payable to a Lender even if it has such effect); (iii) extend the Commitment of such Lender, or (iv) amend this clause (c);
without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would (i) extend the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, the German Revolver Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Termination Date, (ii) alter Section 5.6, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 12.5 or 14.1.1; (iii) amend the definition of Pro Rata, Supermajority Lenders, or Required Lenders; (iv) increase any advance rate; (v) release Collateral with a book value greater than $10,000,000 during any calendar year, except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents; or (vi) release any



Borrower from liability for any Obligations, or any Guarantor(s) constituting a substantial portion of the Loan Guaranty, in each case in this clause (vi), except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents as of the Closing Date or as otherwise amended in accordance with this clause (d);
without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, no modification shall be effective that would amend (i) the definition of U.S. Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition, including any defined term used therein) to the extent that any such amendment results in more credit being made available to U.S. Borrowers, (ii) the Canadian Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition, including any defined term used therein) to the extent that any such amendment results in more credit being made available to the Canadian Borrower, (iii) the German Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition, including any defined term used therein) to the extent that any such amendment results in more credit being made available to the German Borrower, or (iv) the U.K./Dutch Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition, including any defined term used therein) to the extent that any such amendment results in more credit being made available to the U.K./Dutch Borrowers;
without the prior written consent of a Secured Bank Product Provider, no modification shall be effective that affects its relative payment priority under Section 5.6;
without the prior written consent of all Lenders, (i) the Obligations shall not be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness for borrowed money, and (ii) Agent shall not agree to subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to any other Liens securing Indebtedness for borrowed money except to the extent contemplated by Section 12.2.1 as of the Closing Date or as otherwise amended in accordance with this clause (g);
without the prior written consent of all: (i) U.S. Lenders, amend the definition of U.S. Required Lenders, (ii) Canadian Lenders, amend the definition of Canadian Required Lenders, (iii) U.K./Dutch Lenders, amend the definition of U.K./Dutch Required Lenders, and (iv) German Lenders, amend the definition of German Required Lenders;
if Real Estate secures any Obligations, no modification of a Loan Document shall add, increase, renew or extend any credit line hereunder until the completion of flood diligence and documentation as required by all Flood Insurance Laws; and
to the extent any portions of Section 10.2.1 or 10.2.2 contemplate an intercreditor agreement satisfactory to Agent, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (and all amendments, amendment and restatements, modifications or other supplements thereto) in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In addition, each Lender authorizes Agent to enter into any amendments, amendment and restatements, modifications or other supplements to the Intercreditor Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to permit Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries



to incur additional Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Indebtedness under the Term Loan Documents or on a junior basis to the Indebtedness under the Term Loan Documents, in each case, as permitted under Section 10.2.1 or 10.2.2 of this Agreement.
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgage shall be executed and delivered with respect to any real property unless and until each Lender has received, at least twenty Business Days prior to such execution and delivery, a life of loan flood zone determination and such other documents as it may reasonably request to complete its flood insurance due diligence and has confirmed to the Agent that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance has been completed to its reasonable satisfaction (it being agreed that any deadline set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document for the Borrower to execute and deliver such Mortgage shall be extended until each such Lender has provided such confirmation to Agent).
Limitations. The agreement of Obligors shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Banks as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letters or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and any non-Lender that is party to a Bank Product agreement shall have no right to participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan Document. Any waiver or consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.
Payment for Consents. No Obligor will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.
Indemnity. EACH OBLIGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee.
Notices and Communications.
Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Obligor, at Borrower Agent’s



address shown on the signature pages hereof or on Schedule 14.3, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1.2, or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Obligors.
[Reserved].
Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor.
Performance of Obligors’ Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the applicable Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of an Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All documented payments and reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
Credit Inquiries. Each Obligor hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Requirements of Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under



Requirements of Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.
Electronic Execution; Electronic Records; Counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Obligors and each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Agent nor any Issuing Bank or Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent and/or any Issuing Bank or Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Agent and each of the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor and/or any Issuing Bank or Lender without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent or any Issuing Bank or Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.
Neither the Agent nor any Issuing Bank or Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in



connection with the Agent’s or any Issuing Bank’s or Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Agent and each Issuing Bank and Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
Each of the Obligors and each Issuing Bank and Lender hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Agent and each Issuing Bank and Lender for any liabilities arising solely from the Agent’s and/or any Issuing Bank’s and/or Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Obligors to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.
Lender Loss Sharing Agreement.
Definitions. As used in this Section 14.11, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
CAM: the mechanism for the allocation and exchange of interests in the Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and collections thereunder established under Section 14.11(b).

CAM Exchange Date: the first date after the Closing Date on which there shall occur (a) any event described in Section 11.1(f) or Section 11.1(g) with respect to



any Borrower, or (b) an acceleration of Loans and termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 11.2.
CAM Percentage: as to each Lender, a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolver Commitments immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolver Commitments, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the amount of the Revolver Commitments of all the Lenders immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and the termination of the Revolver Commitments.

CAM Exchange.
On the CAM Exchange Date,
the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, the German Revolver Commitments, and the Canadian Revolver Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with Section 11.2,
each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.1.6, each U.K./Dutch Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.1.6, each German Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.1.6, and each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding Protective Advances in accordance with Section 2.1.6,
each U.S. Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed drawings made under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3.2(b), each Canadian Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed drawings made under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4.2(b), each German Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed drawings made under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5.2(b), and each U.K./Dutch Lender shall fund its participation in any



unreimbursed drawings made under the applicable Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2.2(b), and
the Lenders shall purchase at par interests (in Dollars) in the Designated Obligations under each Revolver Facility (and shall make payments to Agent for reallocation to other Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such purchases) and shall assume the obligations to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for unreimbursed drawings under outstanding Letters of Credit under such Revolver Facility such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the U.K./Dutch Revolver Commitments, the German Revolver Commitments, and the Canadian Revolver Commitments in which it shall participate immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in each component of the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange.
Each Lender and each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 13.2 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to Lenders all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans under this Agreement to Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Lender to deliver or accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.
As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages.
In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers, then each Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for its CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14.11, Agent and each Lender agree that if Agent or a Lender is required under Requirements of Law to withhold or deduct any taxes or other amounts from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof, such Person shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such taxes or other amounts



to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing such tax without any obligation to indemnify Agent or any Lender with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by Agent or any Lender subject to such withholding to Agent or any other Lender making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of Agent or such Lender subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Obligors to the extent (if any) provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of this Section 14.11, having been paid to Agent or such Lender with respect to which such withholding or deduction was made.
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Obligors and such Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.
Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent permitted by law, (x) inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment); (c) to the extent required by Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or other legal process, including the disclosure of any Information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU (in which case such Person shall (x) to the extent permitted by law,



inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Obligors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Obligors and a general description of Obligors’ businesses, and may use Obligors’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning an Obligor or Subsidiary or their respective securities; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Requirements of Law, including federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW AND FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).
Consent to Forum; Judicial Reference; Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Forum. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Requirements of Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.



Judicial Reference. If any controversy or claim among the parties relating in any way to any Obligations or Loan Documents, including any alleged tort, shall be pending before any court sitting in or with jurisdiction over California or applying California law, then at the request of any party such proceeding shall be referred by the court to a referee (who shall be an active or retired judge) to hear and determine all issues in such proceeding (whether of fact or law) and to report a statement of decision for adoption by the court. Nothing in this Section shall limit any right of Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise self-help remedies, such as setoff, foreclosure or sale of any Collateral, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during or after any judicial reference. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of any party to resort to judicial reference. At Agent’s option and subject to applicable law, foreclosure under a mortgage or deed of trust may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale thereunder or by judicial foreclosure.
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto (including each Secured Party) acknowledges that, with respect to any Secured Party that is an Affected Financial Institution, any unsecured liability of such Secured Party arising under a Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and each party hereto agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liability which may be payable to it by such Secured Party; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent, or a bridge institution that may be issued to the party or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.
Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, (x) each Obligor waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which an Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) [reserved]; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof, and (y) each party hereto waives any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating



thereto except, in the case of any third party claim for which indemnification is sought by any Indemnitee against any Obligor, to the extent such damages would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 14.2. Each Obligor acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent, Issuing Banks and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Obligors. Each Obligor has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
Patriot Act and AML Legislation Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Obligors’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Obligor shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by Agent, Issuing Bank, any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, in order to comply with any “know your customer,” anti-money laundering rules and regulations, or other Requirements of Law, including the Patriot Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and/or the applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.
Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Facility Obligor or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Facility Obligor for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent: (a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Canadian Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Canadian Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and (b) shall provide to each Canadian Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Canadian Lenders agrees that Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Facility Obligors or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Facility Obligors on behalf of any Canadian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Facility Obligor or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
Parallel Debt Undertaking.
The parallel debt undertaking created hereunder (“Parallel Debt Undertaking”) is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any of the respective German Domiciled Obligor’s German Facility Obligations and/or the Dutch Domiciled Obligor’s



U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations. The Parallel Debt Undertaking shall also cover any future extension, prolongation, increase or novation of the German Facility Obligations and the U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations.
For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of security under those security documents subject to the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Germany, the Netherlands and such other jurisdictions as the Secured Parties and the Obligors (each acting reasonably) agree, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement:
each Obligor undertakes (such undertakings, the “Parallel Obligations”) to pay to the Agent amounts equal to all present and future amounts owing by it to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents (“Original Obligations”);
the Agent shall have its own independent right to demand and receive payment under the Parallel Obligations;
the Parallel Obligations shall, subject to clause (d) below, not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment;
notwithstanding clauses (b) and (c) above, payment by the Obligor of its Parallel Obligations shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Original Obligations owing to the relevant Secured Parties and payment by an Obligor of its Original Obligations to the relevant Secured Parties shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to the Agent;
the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Agent in its own name on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee;
without limiting or affecting the Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Loan Document, the Agent undertakes to each of the Secured Parties not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Secured Parties; and
the Agent shall distribute any amount so received to the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if such amounts had been received in respect of the Original Obligations.
Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the German Facility Obligations and the U.K./Dutch Facility Obligations, the Agent shall without undue delay at the cost and expense of the Obligors release the Parallel Debt Undertaking.
Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Obligor for liquidation or reorganization, should any



Obligor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Obligor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Requirements of Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Nonliability of Lenders. Neither the Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Obligor to review or inform any Obligor of any matter in connection with any phase of any Obligor’s business or operations. Each Obligor agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Obligor, that neither the Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have liability to any Obligor (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Obligor in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to any of the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought or a breach of obligations under this Agreement by the party from which recovery is sought. NEITHER THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
Know Your Customer. Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent.
Amendment and Restatement.
This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement shall, subject to Section 14.23.3, be superseded hereby.
Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement by this Agreement, all of the Obligations under the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date hereof, shall constitute Obligations owing hereunder. This Agreement is given in substitution for the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, and not as payment of the Obligations of the Borrowers



thereunder, and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.
Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in any of the Loan Documents and in each document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Except as expressly modified as of the Closing Date, all of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens and Guarantees previously granted by any Obligor pursuant to the Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection with the Original Loan Agreement, the Original Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, or the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement are hereby reaffirmed, ratified, renewed and continued, and all such security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens and Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect as security for the Obligations on and after the Closing Date.
Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the priority of the Lien and security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to any Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Agent (or any Secured Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement entered into by Agent in accordance with Section 14.1.1(j) (each, an “Additional Intercreditor Agreement”) and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and any Loan Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or such Additional Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the delivery or granting of “control” (as defined in the UCC) to the extent only one Person can be granted “control” therein under applicable law of any Term Loan Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or other term agent under any Additional Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Collateral Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement shall satisfy any such “control” requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Term Loan Collateral or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement to the extent that such “control” is consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or such Additional Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the possession of any Term Loan Collateral (or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement) by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or other term agent under any Additional Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Collateral Documents (or any comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement) shall satisfy any such possession requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to Term Loan Collateral (or any



comparable definition in any Additional Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent that such possession is consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or such Additional Intercreditor Agreement.
Acknowledgement Regarding Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support", and each such QFC, a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
Covered Party. If a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. If a Covered Party or BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
Definitions. As used in this Section, (a) "BHC Act Affiliate" means an "affiliate," as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §1841(k); (b) "Default Right" has the meaning assigned in and interpreted in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (c) "QFC" means a "qualified financial contract," as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §5390(c)(8)(D).
Release of Obligors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 14.1.1 to the contrary, (a) any Obligor (other than a Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as a result thereof such Obligor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series



of related transactions permitted hereunder) and (b) any obligor (other than a Borrower) that qualifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary” shall be released by the Agent promptly following the request therefor by the Parent; provided, that the release of any Obligor under clause (a) from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including its Loan Guaranty) if such Obligor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if such Obligor did not become an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof as a result of (A) a transfer of its equity interests to any Affiliate of the Parent for a non-bona fide business purpose for less than fair market value or (B) a non-bona fide transaction the primary purpose of which was to cause such entity to become a non-wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent in order to release it from the Loan Documents (or its Loan Guaranty). In connection with any such release, Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Obligor, at such Obligor’s expense, all documents that such Obligor shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release. The execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 14.26 shall be without recourse to or warranty by Agent (other than as to Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).
