(a)Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by amending and restating the following definitions in their entirety as follows:

“Guarantors” means (i) the Credit Parties (other than the Borrowers) and (ii) for purposes of Section 10.1(j) and Article XIV only, the Parent Guarantors, the U.S. Borrower, Crown Finance and the European Borrower.

“U.S. Borrower” means collectively and individually, as the context may require, each of Crown Americas LLC and any additional U.S. Subsidiary that (A) executes a U.S. Borrower Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 13 and (B) delivers to the Administrative Agent, to the extent not previously delivered, (1) the Additional Security Documents required pursuant to Section 7.14, (2) an opinion of counsel which covers matters reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (3) to the extent not previously delivered, all documentation and other information required under Section 5.1(f)(ii). Any additional U.S. Subsidiary (other than Crown Americas LLC) may be removed as a U.S. Borrower upon (i) execution and delivery by Crown Americas LLC of a written request providing for such removal and (ii) if not previously delivered, satisfaction of the conditions of Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement, if applicable. For purposes of the definition of “Existing Non-U.S. Facilities”, the definition of “Parent Guarantor”, the definition of “Senior Notes 2023”, the definition of “Senior Notes 2026”, Section 2.1(a)(i), Article V, Section 6.8, Section 7.1 and Section 8.1(a)(iii), “U.S. Borrower” shall be defined to include only Crown Americas LLC and no other entity.

(b)Article II of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 2.16:

“2.16 U.S. Borrower Representative. Each U.S. Borrower hereby appoints Crown Americas LLC as the borrowing agent for such U.S. Borrower, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each U.S. Borrower that such appointment has been revoked or that another U.S. Borrower or Affiliate of a U.S. Borrower has been appointed in such capacity. Each U.S. Borrower hereby appoints and authorizes Crown Americas LLC (or its successor) (i) to provide to the Agents and the Lenders and receive from the Agents and the Lenders all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any U.S. Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as Crown Americas LLC deems appropriate on behalf of each U.S. Borrower and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Any reference to any action or notice required or permitted to be taken or given hereunder and under the Loan Documents by “the U.S. Borrower” or “each U.S. Borrower” shall be effective if such action is taken, or such notice is delivered, by Crown Americas LLC (or its successor) or, as applicable, a Responsible Officer thereof.”

(d)Article XII of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 12.23:

“12.23 Joint and Several Liability. (a) The obligations of any U.S. Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which each U.S. Borrower is a party shall be joint and several and, as such, each U.S. Borrower shall be liable for all of such obligations of each other U.S. Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any U.S. Borrower is a party. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the liability of each U.S. Borrower for the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other applicable U.S. Borrowers with whom it has joint and several liability shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any applicable Secured Creditor, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable U.S. Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Creditor or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such other applicable U.S. Borrower or such U.S. Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other applicable U.S. Borrower for the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or of such U.S. Borrower under this Section 12.23, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder; provided that no U.S. Borrower hereby waives any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each U.S. Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid to any U.S. Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Lenders and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lenders and credited and applied against the obligations of the applicable U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(c). In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder, any Letters of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding, each U.S. Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other U.S. Borrower (or any of its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document of such other U.S. Borrower to any Secured Creditor.”

(e)Article XIV of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 14.16:

“14.16 Guarantee of Each U.S. Borrower

. In order to induce Administrative Agent, the Facing Agents and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Loans and to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, and in consideration thereof, each U.S. Borrower hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Agents, for the ratable benefit of the Facing Agents and the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations and all Bank Related Debt (but not any Excluded Swap Obligations), and each U.S. Borrower further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Agents, the Facing Agents or any Lender in enforcing any of their rights under the guarantee contained in this Article XIV. The guarantee contained in this Article XIV, subject to Section 14.6, shall remain in full

force and effect until all Letters of Credit have terminated, the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.

Each U.S. Borrower agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to any Agent, any Facing Agent or any Lender on account of its liability under this Article XIV, it will notify such Agent, the applicable Facing Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under the guarantee contained in this Article XIV for such purpose. No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by any Agent, any Facing Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each U.S. Borrower under this Article XIV, which, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable for the unpaid and outstanding Obligations until, subject to Section 14.6, the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.”
