Bookrunner. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a delayed draw term loan
facility in the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (the "Term Loan
Facility").

The Term Loan Agreement:
•provides for a committed unsecured Term Loan Facility;

•permits the Borrowers to borrow either in U.S. dollars or euros;
•contains a number of representations and warranties that the Company believes

•contains a number of covenants that the Company believes are usual and
customary for unsecured term loan agreements, including compliance with various
financial ratios and tests, and certain covenants that restrict, among other
things, the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to: incur debt; incur liens;
merge or consolidate with other companies or sell assets outside the ordinary
course of business; and
•contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate)

representations or warranties; breach of the financial, affirmative or negative
covenants; default of payment on, or accelerations of, other material

Company or any of its subsidiaries; certain specified events under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain changes in control
of the Company; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Term Loan
Agreement or other documents associated with the Term Loan Agreement.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a base rate or a
SOFR rate, with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, or a eurocurrency rate,
with respect to borrowings in euros, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
The applicable margin is based on the Company's Leverage Ratio (as defined in
the Term Loan Agreement). The Borrowers plan to use the proceeds of any
borrowings under the Term Loan Facility for general corporate purposes, which
may include the repayment of indebtedness.
