“Other Connection Taxes” means, with respect to any Recipient, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document).

(d) The definitions of “Change in Law”, “Code”, “FATCA”, “L/C Commitment”, “LIBOR” and “Maturity Date” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby respectively amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

“Change in Law” shall mean the occurrence, after the date of this Agreement, of any of the following: (i) the adoption or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation or treaty, (ii) any change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or (iii) the making or issuance of any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer

-2-

Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

“FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code and any intergovernmental agreements with respect thereto.

“L/C Commitment” shall mean the lesser of (i) $100,000,000 and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment.

“LIBOR” shall mean,

(i) for any interest rate calculation with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan (other than a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars), the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in the applicable Permitted Currency for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100^th of 1%). If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then “LIBOR” shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in the applicable Permitted Currency in minimum amounts of at least $5,000,000 would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period;

(ii) for any interest rate calculation with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars for any Interest Period, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to the average of the rates displayed on the “Reuters Screen CDOR Page” (as defined in the International Swap Dealer Association, Inc. definitions, as amended from time to time), or such other page as may replace such page

-3-

on such screen for the purpose of displaying Canadian interbank bid rates for Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances) applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances (on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day basis) with a term comparable to such Interest Period as of 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the first day of such Interest Period (as adjusted by the Administrative Agent after 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time) to reflect any error in a posted rate or in the posted average annual rate of interest). If, for any reason, the rates on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page are unavailable, then with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan LIBOR means the rate of interest determined by the Administrative Agent that is equal to the rate (rounded upwards to the nearest basis point) quoted by the Canadian Reference Bank as its discount rate for purchase of Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances in an amount substantially equal to such LIBOR Rate Loan with a term comparable to such Interest Period as of 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time). No adjustment shall be made to account for the difference between the number of days in a year on which the rates referred to in this definition are based and the number of days in a year on the basis of which interest is calculated in this Agreement; and

(iii) for any interest rate calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan, the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars in minimum amounts of at least $5,000,000 for a period equal to one month (commencing on the date of determination of such interest rate) which appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date of determination, or, if such date is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100^th of 1%). If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then “LIBOR” for such Base Rate Loan shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in Dollars in minimum amounts of at least $5,000,000 would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such date of determination for a period equal to one month commencing on such date of determination.

Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of LIBOR shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

“Maturity Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) November 19, 2018, (ii) the date of termination of the entire Revolving Credit Commitment by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.5, or (iii) the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 9.2(a).

-4-

(e) The definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the words “or group of related sales” therefrom.

(f) The definition of “Excluded Taxes” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(g) The definition of “Other Taxes” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicable Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

Status of Lenders. (i) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other

-6-

documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender:

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the U.S. Borrower is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code),

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such

-8-

Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(n) Section 4.12(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the text, “(including Taxes)” after the text, “out-of-pocket expenses”.

(o) Section 4.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (h) after Section 4.12(g) as follows:

(h) Each Lender and the Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h). The agreements in paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(p) Sections 6.9 and 7.9 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by capitalizing the word, “taxes” to read, “Taxes” wherever it appears.

(q) Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding to the end of the second to final paragraph the following text:

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment or amendment and restatement of this Credit Agreement which is in all other respects approved by the Lenders in accordance with this Section 11.2 shall require the consent of

-9-

any Lender (i) which, immediately after giving effect to such amendment or amendment and restatement, shall have no Commitment and (ii) which, substantially contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment or amendment and restatement, is paid in full all amounts owing to it hereunder.

(r) Section 11.9(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) inserting the text, “(and stated interest on)” after the text, “and principal amounts of” and (ii) replacing the word “may” after the text, “the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders” with “shall”.

(s) Section 11.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (g) after Section 11.9(f) as follows:

(g) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(t) The Credit Agreement is amended by adding a new Exhibit J in the form of Exhibit J hereto.

(u) Schedule 1.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to be in the form of Schedule 1.1(a) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3. Representations and Warranties. The U.S. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

(a) The representations and warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement (other than Section 6.5(e) of the Credit Agreement) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of such date, except for any representation and warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.
