calculating the Leverage Ratio. At any time Borrower has not submitted to Administrative Agent the applicable information as and when required under

Section 5.1(d), Administrative Agent shall give each Lender telefacsimile or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) of the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage in effect from such date. In the event that
any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 is shown to be inaccurate (at a time when this Agreement is in effect and unpaid Obligations under this Agreement are outstanding (other than indemnities and other
contingent obligations not yet due and payable), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such
Applicable Period, then (i) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a correct certificate required by Section 5.1 for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Tier 1 in

maintained with respect thereto against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D) under regulations issued from time to time by the Board of Governors or other applicable banking regulator. Without limiting the
effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by member banks with respect to (i) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the applicable
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or any other interest rate of a Loan is to be determined, or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include Eurodollar Rate Loans. A Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be deemed to constitute
Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement. 
 “Approved Electronic Communications” means any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Credit Party provides to Administrative Agent pursuant to any Credit Document or the

Line Loan received by Administrative Agent from Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of Borrower at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower.

 (iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.13, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed
Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the
amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
(1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the
Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to
Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line
Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts
with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by
Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered
by or on behalf of Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17.

 (v) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any
amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving 

  

 43 








 
Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective
participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the
request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as
provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors
among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable. 
 (vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
(1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing
Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line
Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the
time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when a Funding Default exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the
Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans. 
 2.4. Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein. 
 (a) Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue or amend
Letters of Credit for the 

  

 44 








 
account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries (provided that Borrower is an obligor on the Letter of Credit Application submitted to the Issuing Bank in connection
with any such Letter of Credit to be issued for the account of any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries), or to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit;
provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in an Agreed Currency; (ii) the initial stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $250,000 (or its equivalent in any other Agreed Currency) or such lesser
amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such
issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving
Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; or (y) be issued if such standby Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Bank in its reasonable
discretion; and (vi) in no event shall any commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of
issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to the foregoing, Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of
Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period by giving prior notice (“Non-Extension Notice”) to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day prior to such date of expiration; provided, Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing seven
(7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice date; provided, further, in the event a Funding Default exists, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements
satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of
Credit Usage; provided, further, Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and
which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (y) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered
to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York 

  

 45 








 
City time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature
of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the
Issuing Bank may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
Documents, as the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application,
the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, written notice that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto
or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters
of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be 

  

 46 








 
responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with
the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,
telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any
action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to
Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower and
Administrative Agent of the amount and currency of such drawing and the Dollar Equivalent thereof, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day on which such drawing is honored (the
“Reimbursement Date”) in the same currency in which such drawing was made (or the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, at the option of and as notified by the Issuing Bank) and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored
drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that
Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with
Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in
Section 3.2, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to
reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such
honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of 

  

 47 








 
such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of
such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d). 
 (e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of
Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit
and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that
Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such
Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Administrative Agent specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative Agent.
In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank shall
be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in
this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that the payment
with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to
this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with
respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a
Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request. 
 (f)
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of
Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such
transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in 

  

 48 








 
connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its
Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto;
(vii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the Alternative Currency to the applicable Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally; (viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (ix) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit
shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question. 
 (g)
Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided therein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to
as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank
of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. 
 2.5. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds. 
 (a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any
default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment or any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased
as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. 
 (b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the
amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from such Credit Date 

  

 49 








 
until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for
three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall
immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for
such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the
Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower to fund the Acquisition, to refinance Existing Specified Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including the Acquired Business after giving effect to the Acquisition) and to pay Transaction
Costs; provided that, the Remaining Cytyc Convertible Notes as at the Closing Date are not required to be refinanced in the event that proceeds of the Term Loans in an amount that does not exceed the lesser of (i) $250,000,000 and
(ii) the principal and interest due on the Remaining Cytyc Convertible Notes outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deposited and maintained in the Escrow Account, with such funds to be used solely to redeem or convert any of the Remaining
Cytyc Convertible Notes as may be tendered for redemption or conversion after the Closing Date and thereafter to be released to Borrower to be used for its general corporate purposes (provided that following the completion of the Tender Offer
and satisfaction of any redemption obligations in connection therewith, the Borrower may elect at any time to cause any portion of or all such remaining funds to be released from the Escrow Account to be used for general corporate purposes). The
proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit made or issued on and after the Closing Date, as applicable, shall be applied by Borrower to fund a portion of the Acquisition, for working capital and general corporate
purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including Permitted Acquisitions and permitted capital expenditures. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the
application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 
 2.7. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes. 
 (a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of
Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure
to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any
inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern in the absence of demonstrable error therein. 
  

 50 








 (b) Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at
the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitment and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be
recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive
and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Borrower’s Obligations in
respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates GSCP to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent GSCP serves in such capacity,
GSCP and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.” 
 (c) Notes.
If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if
applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such
notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Tranche X Term Loan, Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-2 Term Loan, Tranche B Term Loan (where applicable), New Term Loan, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, as
the case may be. 
 2.8. Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

 (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche X Term Loans, as applicable: 
 (1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or 
 (2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and 
 (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and 
 (iii) in the case of Tranche B Term Loans: 
  

 51 








 (1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus 1.50%; or 
 (2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2.50%. 
 (b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained only as a Base
Rate Loan), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may
be; provided, until the date that Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans and Revolving Commitments has been completed, as determined by Administrative Agent, the Term Loans shall be maintained as
either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than three months or (2) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been
delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. 
 (c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower
fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan will be made as a Base Rate Loan or (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically
converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan) will remain as a Base Rate Loan. In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination
Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being
determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender. 
 (d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period
applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate
Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate
Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

  

 52 








 (e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis
and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether
voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with
respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 (f) Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but
excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable
hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

 (g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days
elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of
interest pursuant to Section 2.8(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is
reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been
payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank
shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such
honored drawing so reimbursed by such Lender for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by such Lender to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower. 
 2.9. Conversion/Continuation. 
 (a)
Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option: 
 (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Loans equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of
Loan; provided, Eurodollar Rate 

  

 53 








 
Loans may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under
Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or 
 (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to
any borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Loans equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (b) Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business
Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to Base Rate Loans) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of,
Eurodollar Rate Loans). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related
Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. 
 2.10.
Default Interest. The principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder and not paid on or before the date due (or, in
the case of interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount due hereunder, not paid within five days after the date due) shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is
2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any
such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise
payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or
otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
 2.11. Fees. 
 (a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure: 
 (i) commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments and (b) the
aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage; and 
  

 54 








 (ii) letter of credit fees equal to (1) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans
that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the
close of business on any date of determination). 
 All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid to Administrative Agent at its Principal
Office and, upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof. 
 (b) Borrower agrees to
pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees: 
 (i) a fronting fee equal to 0.125%, per annum,
times the aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and 
 (ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance
with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be. 
 (c) All fees referred to in Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

 (d) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon. 
 2.12. Scheduled Payments/Commitment Reductions. (a) The principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans
shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) 
 in the aggregate amounts set forth below
on the four quarterly scheduled Interest Payment Dates applicable to Tranche A Term Loans, commencing December 31, 2007:

 ; provided, with respect to each clause (b) and clause (c) of this Section 2.12, in the
event any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall be repaid on each installment date the Tranche B Loans are repaid (each such date, the “Installment Date”) occurring on or after the applicable Increased Amount Date in an
amount equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of New Term Loans of the applicable Series of New Term Loans, times (ii) the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (y) the amount of all Tranche B Term Loans being repaid on such
Installment Date and (z) the total aggregate principal amount of all other Term Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date. On the Tranche B Combination Date, the then remaining balance of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall be added to the
then outstanding amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and shall be treated hereunder on a combined basis as Tranche B Term Loans. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15, as applicable; and (y) Term Loans,
together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the respective Term Loan Maturity Date therefor. 
 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. 
 (i) At any time and from time to time: 
 (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that
amount; 
 (2) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in
part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and 
  

 59 








 (3) with respect to Swing Line Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business
Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. 
 (ii) All such prepayments shall be made: 
 (1) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or
telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; 
 (2) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or
telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and 
 (3) upon written or telephonic notice on the date of
prepayment, in the case of Swing Line Loans; 
 in each case given to Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may
be, by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified
therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a). 
 (b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

 (i) Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in
part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction;
provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. 
 (ii) Borrower’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or
reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender
proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof. 
  

 60 








 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Asset Sales. No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale
Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
and (ii) to the extent that Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable date of determination do not exceed $25,000,000 individually or $50,000,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year, Borrower shall have the
option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest or commit to invest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in long-term productive assets of the general type used in the business of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries; provided further, pending any such investment all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent outstanding (without a reduction in Revolving Commitments) on or within five Business
Days after the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the first Business
Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount
equal to such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 for any single event giving rise thereto or series of related events giving rise thereto; provided, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest or commit to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in long term productive assets of the general
type used in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof; provided further, pending any such investment all such Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 for any single event giving rise thereto or series of related events giving rise thereto, as the case may be, shall be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent outstanding (without a
reduction in Revolving Commitments) on or within five Business Days after the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (c)
Issuance of Equity Securities. On the date of receipt by Borrower of any Cash proceeds from a capital contribution to, or the issuance of any Equity Interests of, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to any employee,
director or consultant stock or stock option compensation plan or the Spread Overlay Agreements), Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) (i) in the event any Tranche X Term Loans are outstanding, in an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of such proceeds and (ii) thereafter, in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such proceeds, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs
and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses; provided, during any period in which the Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most 

  

 61 








 
recently ended Fiscal Quarter) shall be 3.00:1.00 or less, prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required pursuant to clause (ii) hereof shall be
required to be made in an amount equal to 25% of such net proceeds; provided, further, during any period in which the Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter) shall be 2.00:1.00 or less, prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required pursuant to clause (ii) hereof shall not be required
to be made. 
 (d) Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the
incurrence of any Indebtedness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, the net
expense of the Spread Overlay Agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of convertible securities the proceeds of which are being applied pursuant hereto, and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses; provided, however, that any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1 (other than that portion of the proceeds of the issuance of Indebtedness issued pursuant to
Section 6.1(n) that is not applied to make Permitted Acquisitions, which shall be subject hereto) and any amounts released from the Escrow Account (that are not applied to the redemption or conversion of the Remaining Cytyc Convertible Notes)
shall be excluded from the application hereof. 
 (e) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending in 2008), Borrower shall, no later than ninety days after the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to
(i) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans (excluding repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans except to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in
connection with such repayments); provided, that if, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Year, the Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year) shall be 3.00:1.00 or less, Borrower shall only be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby in an amount equal to
(i) 25% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans (excluding repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans except to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in
connection with such repayments); provided, further, that if, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Year, the Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant
to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year) shall be 2.00:1.00 or less, Borrower shall not be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby. 
 (f) Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. Except in circumstances in which Section 2.15(a) applies, Borrower shall from time to time prepay
first, the Swing Line Loans without reductions in Revolving Commitments and second, the Revolving Loans without reductions in Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall
not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 
  

 62 








 (g) Excess Utilization of Revolving Commitments. At any time the Total Utilization of the
Revolving Commitments exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. 
 (h) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer
demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in
such certificate by more than $1,000,000, Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess (but in no event shall such prepayment be required to be prior to the date that is five Business Days
after the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date), and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 
 2.15. Application of Prepayments/Reductions. 
 (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to prepay the Tranche X Term Loans to the full extent thereof; and 
 second, to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof); and
further applied on a pro rata basis within each such Class of Loans to reduce the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of such Class of Loans; provided, however, that Borrower may, in the exercise of its sole
discretion, elect that such prepayment shall be applied to prepay the next four scheduled Installments of the Tranche A Term Loans prior to application to prepay Tranche B Term Loans, with any remaining balance of such voluntary prepayment to be
applied to all of the remaining Term Loans on a pro rata basis as first set forth above in this clause second. 
 (b)
Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Class of Loans. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e) shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof), with
such prepayments to be applied to reduce the scheduled Installments of principal within each Class of Loans, first by application to the next four scheduled Installments within such respective Class and then pro rata among the remaining scheduled
Installments of principal of such Class of Loans; 
 second, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof
without reduction of Revolving Commitments; 
  

 63 








 third, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof without reduction
of Revolving Commitments; 
 fourth, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit;
and 
 fifth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit; 
 provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom, all prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.13(a), all proceeds of any issuance of equity securities required to be applied to prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(c) and all proceeds of any issuance of
Indebtedness required to be applied to prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be net of the net expense of any Spread Overlay Agreements entered into in connection therewith) shall first be
applied to prepay any outstanding Tranche X Term Loans to the full extent thereof prior to application to any other purpose; provided further that, in connection with any such payment made on or before the Tranche B Combination Date in
respect of which there is any balance remaining after repayment of the Tranche X Term Loans that is either subject to required prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14 or that the Borrower has elected to apply to prepayment of the Loans pursuant to
Section 2.13, the balance remaining shall be applied to prepay any outstanding Tranche B-2 Term Loans prior to application to prepay other Term Loans in accordance with clause second of Section 2.15(a) or clause
first of this Section 2.15(b), as applicable. 
 (c) Waivable Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, in the event Borrower is required to make any voluntary or mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the
date (the “Prepayment Date”) on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each
Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Prepayment and such Lender’s option to elect to decline payment of such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving
written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its
election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the
amount of the Waivable Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders
(which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b)), and (ii) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders
that have elected to exercise such option, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders accepting payments under clause (i) above (which prepayment shall be further applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans in accordance
with Section 2.15(b)); 

  

 64 








 
provided that in the event any amount of the Waivable Prepayment is outstanding after those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option,
such amount shall be applied pro rata to prepay the Term Loans of those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option (which prepayment shall be applied to scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.15(b)). 
 (d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class
of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required
to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c). 
 2.16. General Provisions Regarding Payments. 
 (a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all
other payments under each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars, in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative
Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (b) All payments
in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any
payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal. 
 (c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall
indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due such Lender, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the
extent received by Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is
withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. 

(e) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to
be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder. 
  

 65 








 (f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with
Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose). 
 (g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 noon (New York
City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall be deemed not to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.
Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance
with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the
next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 
 (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to
Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 9.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

 2.17. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other
than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit
Documents or otherwise (except pursuant to an Assignment Agreement with an Eligible Assignee), or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to
such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent
and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such
seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all
or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices
paid for such participations shall be returned to such 

  

 66 








 
purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the
amount of the participation held by that holder. 
 2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist
for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower. 
 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become
unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force
of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected
Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by
Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a 

  

 67 








 
Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as
described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender
other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the
liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for
conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower. 
 (d)
Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. 
 (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under
Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a
domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes
of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19. 
 2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 

 (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with
respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender for purposes of 

  

 68 








 
this Section 2.19(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto)
that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or
any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or
other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with
respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;
(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate
Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder
or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans or participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit or issuing Letters of Credit
hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the
next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender
for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the
additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have determined that the adoption,
effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence
of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or
such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, 

  

 69 








 
applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional
amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 (c) Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of additional amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the
event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, etc. 

 (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. 
 (b) Withholding of
Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of a Lender) from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to
Administrative Agent or any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender for purposes of this Section 2.20) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or
any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed
on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit
Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, 

  

 70 








 
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction,
withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is
required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other
authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender (other than a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 2.23) with respect to United States federal withholding tax under clause (iii) above
except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender
(in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in the imposition of, or an increase in, such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date
hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender; provided that additional amounts shall be payable to a Lender to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive such
additional amounts. Without limiting the provisions above, the Borrower shall timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”), to the extent it is legally able to do so, shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at
such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of any
applicable United States income tax treaty), W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY, which Form W-8IMY shall be accompanied by the documentation and other Internal Revenue Service forms contemplated by that Form W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms),
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of,
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank”
or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status (in the form of Exhibit F) together with two
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to
establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced 

  

 71 








 
rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit
Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative
Agent and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed
and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms,
certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other
evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to
Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any
successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not
subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver
any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.20(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other
evidence referred to in of this Section 2.20(c), or (2) to notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have
satisfied the requirements of this Section 2.20(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.20(c) shall relieve Borrower
of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.20 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration
or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. 
 (d) Borrower Indemnification for Failure to Pay Required Taxes, etc. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any
of their respective Affiliates for any Taxes imposed on any amounts paid under any Credit Document (including any Taxes imposed or asserted or attributable to amounts payable under this Section, but excluding any Tax on the overall net income of a
Lender or the Administrative Agent) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this
indemnification must be made within 10 days from the date Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor. 
  

 72 








 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of
this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a
condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and
any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as
such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to
Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of its Revolving Commitment, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or
in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitment, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize
such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses
payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at
the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment under
Section 2.3(b)(iv) or 2.4(e) (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes
of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting
Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting
Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be
applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be
entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any
Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s 

  

 73 








 
Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments as
at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this
Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default. 
 2.23. Removal or
Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected
Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in
effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for
such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such
default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been
obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or
Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and its Revolving Commitment, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the
fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of
(A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit that have been funded by such Terminated Lender,
together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) with respect only to a
Terminated Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender, on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20 or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and
(3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; 

  

 74 








 
provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of
such election, Borrower shall either (x) have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Terminated Lender to be cancelled or (y) have delivered cash collateral or back-up letters of credit reasonably acceptable to the Issuing
Bank in an amount equal to at least 103% of the then-outstanding face amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitment, if
any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that
if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation
necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Terminated Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice,
such Terminated Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 on behalf of a Terminated Lender and any
such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6. 
 2.24. Incremental Facilities. Borrower may by written notice to GSCP elect to request (A) the establishment of new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”) to refinance the
Tranche X Term Loans in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $1,250,000,000 and (ii) an amount sufficient (together with such portion of other funds available to Borrower that Borrower elects in its sole discretion to apply for such
purpose) to repay all outstanding Tranche X Term Loans (the loans made pursuant to such New Term Loan Commitments being referred to herein as the “TLX Take-Out Loans”) and (B) from and after such time as the Tranche X Term
Loans have been repaid in full (including interest accrued thereon and any fees in respect thereof), the establishment of one or more New Term Loan Commitments and/or (prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date), an increase to the existing
Revolving Loan Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Loan Commitments”) the aggregate amount of all such increased commitments and new loans made pursuant to this clause (B) not to exceed the lesser of
(i) $250,000,000 and (ii) the positive difference, if any, between $1,250,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of any TLX Take-Out Loans. Any such increased commitment or new loan shall be in an amount not less than $50,000,000
individually and integral multiples of $25,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Loan Commitments or
New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 5 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to GSCP and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible
Assignee (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender” or “New Term Loan Lender,” as applicable) to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, be
allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that GSCP may elect or decline to arrange such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments in its sole discretion and any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of
the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to 

  

 75 








 
provide a New Revolving Loan Commitment or a New Term Loan Commitment. Such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments shall become
effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as
applicable; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied; (3) Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance
with each of the covenants set forth in Section 6.7 as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; (4) the New Revolving
Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by Borrower, the New Revolving Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and Administrative
Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register, and each New Revolving Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.20(c); (5) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to
Section 2.18(c) in connection with the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (6) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. 

On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions,
(a) each of the Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued
interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Loan
Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall
become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto. 
 On any Increased Amount Date on which
any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall make a Loan to Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an
amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made
pursuant thereto. 
 Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date
and in respect thereof (y) the New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders or the Series of New Term Loan Commitments and the 

  

 76 








 
New Term Loan Lenders of such Series, as applicable, and (z) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Loan Lender, the respective interests in such
Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loans subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section. 
 The terms and provisions of the New
Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement, substantially the same as the Tranche B-1 Term Loans or the Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable. The terms and
provisions of the New Revolving Loans shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Loans. In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to
maturity of the Revolving Loans, the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B-1 Terms Loans or the Tranche B Term Loans as applicable (whichever is longest), (ii) the New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the latest of
the final maturity of the Revolving Loans, the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, and the Tranche X Term Loans, (iii) the rate of interest applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series
shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable New Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that the interest rate applicable to the New Term Loans (after giving effect to all
upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such New Term Loans) shall not be greater than the highest interest rate that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans or the
Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate with respect to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans or the Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, is increased so as to equal the interest rate applicable to the New Term
Loans (after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such New Term Loans) minus 0.25% per annum (the “Increased Spread”) (in which case the Applicable Margin that
shall apply to the calculation of the interest rate on the Tranche A Term Loans shall, in the case of each Tier set forth in the table contained in the definition of “Applicable Margin,” be increased by an amount equal to the Increased
Spread; and (iv) in the event that the proceeds of the New Term Loans shall be used to refinance any portion of the Tranche X Term Loans, as of the last day of the most recently ended period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters, the
Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters) shall be
4.25:1.00, or less. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.24.

 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 In order to induce Lenders and Issuing Bank to enter into
this Agreement and to make each Credit Extension to be made thereby, each Credit Party represents and warrants to each Lender and Issuing Bank, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that the following statements are true and correct (it being
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties made on the Closing Date are deemed to be made concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition contemplated hereby); provided, however, that the representations and
warranties required to be made in connection with a Credit Extension made on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be limited to those set forth in Section 3.1(v): 
 4.1. Organization; Requisite Power and Authority; Qualification. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization as identified in Schedule 4.1, (b) has all requisite power and authority to (i) own and
operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted except to 

  

 83 








 
the extent the combined effect of all such failures and exceptions would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) to enter into the Credit Documents
to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (c) to the extent such concepts are applicable in such jurisdictions, is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are
located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and would not be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 4.2. Equity Interests and Ownership. The Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties have been
duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party requiring, and there is no membership interest or other Equity Interests of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

Equity Interests of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.2 correctly sets forth the ownership interest of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in their respective Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date both before and after giving
effect to the Acquisition. 
 4.3. Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party that is a party thereto. 
 4.4. No Conflict. The execution,
delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) violate (i) in any material respect, any
provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any of the Organizational Documents of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) in any material respect, any order,
judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual
Obligation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent the combined effect of all such breaches and defaults would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of
the properties or assets of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Liens permitted under any of the Credit Documents or created under any of the Credit Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties); or
(d) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or (except to the extent the combined effect of the failure to obtain all such approvals and consents would not have a Material Adverse Effect) any approval or consent of any Person
under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Closing Date and disclosed in writing to Lenders. 
 4.5. Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the
consummation of the 

  

 84 








 
transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any material registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other
action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement, and except for filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or
recordation, as of the Closing Date. 
 4.6. Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each
Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. 
 4.7. Historical Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of
the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case
of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments, and the absence of footnotes. As of the Closing Date, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability
for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is required by GAAP to be reflected in the Historical Financial Statements and is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any
such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 4.8. Projections. On and as of the Closing Date, the projections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of Fiscal Year 2008 through and
including Fiscal Year 2012 (the “Projections”) are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of Borrower; provided, the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and that the differences may be material; provided further, as of the Closing Date, management of Borrower believed that the Projections were reasonable and
attainable. 
 4.9. No Material Adverse Change. Since September 30, 2006, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has
caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.10. No Restricted Junior Payments. Since
September 30, 2006, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has directly or indirectly declared, ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any Restricted Junior Payment or agreed to do so except as permitted pursuant to
Section 6.4.

 85 








 
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs,
injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.12. Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 5.3, all Federal, state, and other material tax returns and reports of Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed (taking into account any extension of time granted to them), and all
Federal, state, and other material taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all Federal, state, and other material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Borrower and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective
properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been made or
provided in accordance with GAAP. Borrower has not received notice of any proposed Federal, state, or other material tax assessment against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which are not being actively contested by Borrower or such Subsidiary in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided, such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor. 
 4.13. Properties. 
 (a) Title.
Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (i) good, sufficient and legal title to (in the case of fee interests in real property), (ii) valid leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property),
(iii) valid licensed rights in (in the case of licensed interests in Intellectual Property) and (iv) good title to (in the case of all other personal property), all of their respective properties and assets reflected in their respective
Historical Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.7 and in the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the
ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8, except for such defects in title as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as permitted by this
Agreement or any Security Document, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens in all material respects. 
 (b) Real
Estate. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.13 contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets, and (ii) all leases, subleases or assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications,
supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting each Real Estate Asset of any Credit Party, regardless of whether such Credit Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such
lease, sublease or assignment. Each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect with respect to the Credit Party and Borrower does not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is
continuing thereunder, except where such defaults individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable
Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance 

  

 86 








 
with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles. 
 (c) Intellectual Property. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns
or is validly licensed to use all Intellectual Property that is necessary for the present conduct of its business, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens), without conflict with the rights of any other Person unless the failure to own
or benefit from such valid license could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(c), neither
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person unless such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation could not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, threatened claim or litigation against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries alleging any such
infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(c). To the best knowledge of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 4.13(c), during the past two (2) years (or earlier if
presently not resolved), no Person has infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Assets unless such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has taken and are taking commercially reasonable steps, consistent with industry standards, to maintain and protect all Intellectual Property
Assets that are material to the conduct of its business. 
 4.14. Environmental Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity
that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law. There are and, to each of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous
Materials Activities which would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous
Materials at any Facility, and none of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state
equivalent that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws would not be
reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of
Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 87 








 4.15. No Defaults. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a
default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.16. Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all agreement evidencing Contractual Obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in effect on the Closing Date
which are required by U.S. securities laws to be filed by Borrower as exhibits to the periodic reports it files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as described on Schedule 4.16, all Material Contracts are in full force and
effect and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no defaults currently exist thereunder. 
 4.17. Governmental Regulation. Neither Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise
render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a
“principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 4.18. Margin Stock. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any Margin Stock. 
 4.19. Employee Matters.
Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the knowledge of
Borrower, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Borrower, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter
specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.20. Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed in all material respects all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each 

  

 88 








 
Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from
the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No
material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan
provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit
liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions
specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not materially exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan
for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when
aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not materially more than zero. Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each
of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments
to a Multiemployer Plan. 
 4.21. Certain Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to
the transactions contemplated by the Related Agreements, except as payable to the Agents and the Lenders. 
 4.22. Solvency. The
Credit Parties are, in the aggregate, and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by any Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be, in the aggregate, Solvent. 
 4.23. Related Agreements. 
 (a)
Delivery. Borrower have delivered to Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of (i) each Related Agreement and of all exhibits and schedules thereto as of the date hereof and (ii) copies of any material amendment,
restatement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of each Related Agreement entered into after the date hereof. 
 (b) Conditions
Precedent. On the Closing Date, (i) all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Acquisition shall have been satisfied or waived (which, in the case of waivers by the Borrower, shall be subject to the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines such waiver is adverse to the Lenders), and (ii) the Acquisition shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and neither the “Exchange
Ratio” nor the amount of the per share “Cash Consideration” (as such terms are defined therein) shall have changed without the consent of the Administrative Agent. 
  

 89 








 4.24. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with
all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.25. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to any Agent or Lender by or on
behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Borrower, in the case of any document not
furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such
materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Borrower (other than matters of a general
economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 4.26. Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Credit Party is in
compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the Untied States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other
enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official
of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of
1977, as amended. 
 SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS 
 Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that, so long as any Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations and cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit, each Credit Party shall

times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to its business; provided, no Credit Party (other than Borrower with respect to existence) or any of its Subsidiaries
shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or franchise, licenses and permits if such Person’s board of directors (or similar governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to such Person or to Lenders. 
 5.3. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all material Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or
franchises before any material penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all material claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of
its properties or assets, prior to the time when any material penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly

a Lien against any of the Collateral, and which is not permitted pursuant to Section 6.2, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or claim. No Credit Party will, nor
will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, file or consent to the filing of any consolidated income tax return with any Person (other than Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries). 
 5.4. Maintenance of Properties. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good

insurers, such insurance, in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such
amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the generality of the

loss payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and provide for at least thirty days’ prior
written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy; provided that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall turn over to the Borrower any amounts received

Agent and Lenders once during each Fiscal Year to be held at Borrower’s corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent

would reasonably be expected to result in one or more Environmental Claims having, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) Borrower’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility that could cause such Facility or any part thereof to be subject to any

Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.10. Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower other than a Massachusetts securities corporation,
Borrower shall (a) promptly cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder (unless such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) and a Grantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement by executing and delivering
to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent a Counterpart Agreement, and (b) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are similar to

becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, then such Credit Party shall promptly take all such
actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments, agreements, opinions and certificates similar to those described in Sections 3.1(h) with respect to each such Material Real Estate
Asset that Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to create in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected First Priority security interest in
such Material Real Estate Assets; provided that no such Lien shall be required to be granted as contemplated by this Section 5.11 on any owned Real Estate Asset or fixtures the acquisition of which is financed, or is to be financed in
whole or in part through the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1(r) or Section 6.10, until such Indebtedness is

either (i) subject to such Interest Rate Agreements or (ii) Indebtedness that bears interest at a fixed rate. 
 5.13. Further
Assurances. At any time or from time to time upon the request of Administrative Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Credit Party shall take such actions as Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by each Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and all of the outstanding Equity Interests of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained in the Credit Documents with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries). If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date,
Foreign Subsidiaries (a) organized in a single foreign jurisdiction that are not Credit Parties comprise in the aggregate more than (i) 5% of Total Assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or (ii) 5% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of Borrower for which financial statements are available, or (b) not organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia that are not Credit Parties comprise in the aggregate more than (i) 25% of the Total Assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or (ii) 25% of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, in each case, as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of Borrower for which financial statements are available, then Borrower shall, not later than 90 days after the date by which financial statements for such quarter
are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, cause one or more such Subsidiaries to become additional Credit Parties (notwithstanding that such Subsidiaries are, individually, Foreign Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition
ceases to be true; provided, that the time for compliance therewith may be extended with the consent of the Administrative Agent for an additional 90 day period in order to provide equivalent credit support with a view toward minimizing the
tax consequences to Borrower thereof. 
 5.14. Merger. Borrower shall cause the Merger to occur substantially concurrently with the
funding of Term Loans and Revolving Loans on the Closing Date. 
  

 99

any Guarantor to Borrower or to any other Guarantor, or of Borrower to any Guarantor; provided, (i) all such Indebtedness shall be evidenced by the Intercompany Note, which shall be subject to a First Priority Lien pursuant to the Pledge
and Security Agreement, (ii) all such Indebtedness shall be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Intercompany Note, and (iii) any payment by any such
Guarantor under any guaranty of the Obligations shall result in a pro tanto reduction of the amount of any Indebtedness owed by such Subsidiary to Borrower or to any of its Subsidiaries for whose benefit such payment is made; 
 (c) Indebtedness which may be deemed to exist pursuant to any guaranties, performance, surety, statutory, appeal or similar obligations incurred in the
ordinary course of business;

deposit accounts; 
 (e) guaranties in the ordinary course of business of the obligations of suppliers, customers, franchisees and licensees

other amendments or changes made, is to increase materially the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the holders of such Senior Unsecured Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness (or a trustee or other
representative on their behalf) which would be adverse to any Credit Party or Lenders. 
 6.15. Fiscal Year. The Borrower shall not
change its Fiscal Year-end for SEC reporting purposes from the last Saturday in September.

 SECTION 7. GUARANTY 
 7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors
jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a))
(collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 
 7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate
among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor
(a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an
amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal
to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such 

  

 114 








 
Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by
(b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing
Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect
to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of
contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to
(1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all
payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which
the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any
Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 
 7.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity
against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including
interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case)
and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. 
 7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor
agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 (a)
this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; 
  


 115 








 (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; 
 (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; 
 (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any
Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s
covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall
not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or
giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time,
place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement
relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed
Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in
respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may
determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is
commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and
(vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and 
  

 116 








 (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have
had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or
enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or
with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions
relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether
or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any
security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any
Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any
defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations,
accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 
 7.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to
require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any
other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor
including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other
Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides 

  

 117 








 
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based
upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in
conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof,
(iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;
(f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related
thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right
to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 
 7.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against
Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute,
under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to
enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any
Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold
exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or
voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other
guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such
other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in
full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  

 118 








 7.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or
hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. 
 7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for the enforcement of this Section 7 for any Beneficiary to inquire into the
capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 
 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from
any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or
discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of
Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of
Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. 
 7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain
outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary,
involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any
court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
  

 119 








 (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations
which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or
proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and
Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors
will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after
the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. 
 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by
Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from
any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 
 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder
shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be
discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale. 
 SECTION 8. EVENTS OF
DEFAULT 
 8.1. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur: 
 (a) Failure to Make Payments When Due. Failure by Borrower to pay (i) when due any installment or payment of principal of any Loan, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration, by notice of voluntary prepayment, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise; (ii) when due any amount payable to Issuing Bank in reimbursement of any drawing under a Letter of Credit; or (iii) any interest on
any Loan or any fee or any other amount due hereunder within five days after the date due; or 
 (b) Default in Other Agreements.
(i) Except for the failure to fund the disputed portion of a payment in connection with an earn-out that is the subject of a good faith dispute and for which adequate reserve or other appropriate provision shall have been made in accordance
with GAAP, failure of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay 

  

 120 








 
when due any principal of or interest on or any other amount payable in respect of one or more items of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness referred to in
Section 8.1(a)) individually or in the aggregate in an amount of $25,000,000 or more, in each case beyond the grace period, if any, provided therefor; or (ii) breach or default by any Credit Party with respect to any other material term of
(1) one or more items of Indebtedness in the individual or aggregate amounts referred to in clause (i) above or (2) any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement relating to such item(s) of Indebtedness, in each case
beyond the grace period, if any, provided therefor, if the effect of such breach or default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of that Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder or holders), to cause, that Indebtedness to
become or be declared due and payable (or redeemable) prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the case may be; or 
 (c) Breach of Certain Covenants. Failure of any Credit Party to perform or comply with any term or condition contained in Section 2.6, Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c), 5.1(d) and 5.1(f), Section 5.2 or
Section 6; or 
 (d) Breach of Representations, etc. Any representation, warranty, certification or other statement made or
deemed made by any Credit Party in any Credit Document or in any statement or certificate at any time given by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false in
any material respect as of the date made or deemed made; or

 SECTION 9. AGENTS 
 9.1. Appointment
of Agents. BOA is hereby appointed Syndication Agent hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes BOA to act as Syndication Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. GSCP is hereby appointed Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes GSCP to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. Citicorp, JPM,
Citizens and Fifth Third are hereby appointed Documentation Agents hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes Citicorp, JPM, Citizens and Fifth Third to act as Documentation Agents in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit
Documents. Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Credit Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and
no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing 

  

 123 








 
its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each of Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or
obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date, neither BOA, in its capacity as Syndication Agent, nor Citicorp, JPM, Citizens or Fifth Third in their capacity as Documentation Agents, shall have any obligations but shall be
entitled to all benefits of this Section 9. 
 9.2. Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such
action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers,
rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and
perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed
or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 
 9.3. General Immunity. 
 (a) No
Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any
representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent
to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party or to any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable
for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to
the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative
Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof. 
 (b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of
the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any
act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until
such Agent shall have received instructions 

  

 124 








 
in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of
such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and
other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit
Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5). 
 (c) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other
provisions of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by
Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the
rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any
other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such
sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a
third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. 
 9.4. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created
shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each
Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept 

  

 125 








 
deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or
any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

 9.5. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. 
 (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially
or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans
or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders. 
 (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment Agreement or a Joinder Agreement and funding its Tranche A Term Loan, Tranche B-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-2 Term Loan, Tranche B Term
Loan (where applicable), Tranche X Term Loan and/or Revolving Loans on the Closing Date or by the funding of any New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and
approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date or as of the date of funding of such New Loans. 
 9.6. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent
shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall,
in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event
shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided
further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence. 
  

 126 








 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swing Line Lender
(a) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrower,
to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to any successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of
Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of such successor Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, and
(ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the
security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If the Requisite Lenders have not appointed a successor Administrative
Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder and in any case, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the thirtieth day
after such notice of resignation. If neither the Requisite Lenders nor Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Requisite Lenders or Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent, by notice to the Borrower and the Requisite
Lenders, may retain its role as Collateral Agent under any Collateral Document. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute the resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If GSCP or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has
become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, GSCP or its successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders at any time. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing, Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the
Grantors, and Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent signed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation
or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor 

  

 127 








 
Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this
Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate
in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such
retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral
Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

 (c) Any resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the
resignation or removal of GSCP or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes
hereunder. In such event (a) Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Borrower for cancellation, and (c) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the
successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. 
 9.8. Collateral Documents and Guaranty. 
 (a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty.
Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty,
the Collateral and the Collateral Documents; provided that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of
Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments
necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders
(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such
other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have consented. 
  

 128 








 (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as provided herein and in the
other Credit Documents, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition,
Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties shall be entitled, for the purpose of
bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral at such
sale or other disposition. 
 (c) Rights under Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Agreements. No Hedge Agreement will create (or be
deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is party thereto and no Cash Management Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Cash Management Provider that is a party thereto, any rights in connection with the
management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents, except as expressly provided in Section 10.5(c)(v) and Section 10.5(c)(vi) respectively of this Agreement and Section 9.2 of
the Pledge and Security Agreement. 
 (d) Parallel Debt. For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of security
(“Parallel Debt Security”) under the Credit Documents subject to the laws of Germany and the Netherlands, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement: 
 (i) each Obligor irrevocably undertakes, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt and as an independent payment obligation (such
undertakings, the “Parallel Obligations”), to pay to Collateral Agent amounts equal to all present and future amounts owing by it to a Secured Party under and in connection with the Credit Documents, including, for the avoidance of
doubt, any obligations resulting from unjustified enrichment or tort, (the “Original Obligations”), provided that this shall not, at any time, result in an Obligor incurring an aggregate obligation to the Secured Parties which is
greater than its obligations to the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents; 
 (ii) Collateral Agent shall have its own
independent right to demand and receive payment of the Parallel Obligations; 
 (iii) the Parallel Obligations shall not limit
or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment; 
  

 129 








 (iv) notwithstanding Section 9.8(d)(i), payment by an 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 Party and payment by an Obligor of its Original Obligations to the relevant Secured Party shall to the same
extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to Collateral Agent; 
 (v) the Parallel
Obligations are owed to Collateral Agent in its own name on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee and the Parallel Debt Security shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing; 
 (vi) without limiting or affecting Collateral Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights in relation to any Secured
Obligations, Collateral Agent undertakes to each Secured Party not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Secured Party; and 
 (vii) Collateral Agent undertakes to pay to the Secured Parties any amount collected or received by it in payment or partial payment of
the Parallel Obligations and shall distribute any amount so received to the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement as if such amounts had been received in respect of the Original Obligations. 
 9.9. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an
amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any
Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all
expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1. Notices.

Person’s address as set forth on Appendix B or in the other relevant Credit Document, and in the case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Appendix B or otherwise indicated to Administrative Agent in writing. Except as otherwise set forth

 (b) Electronic Communications. 
 (i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to service of process or to notices to any Lender
or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular
notices or communications. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended
recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the
recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed
received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence, as
determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of Administrative Agent. 
 (iii) The
Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent
Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic
Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the
Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications. 
  

 131 








 (iv) Each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents agree that
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies. 
 10.2. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) all the actual
and reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents for the preparation of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (b) all the costs of the Agents for the furnishing all opinions by counsel for
Borrower and the other Credit Parties; (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments,
waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; provided that prior to the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a Default or Event of Default, reasonable attorney’s fees shall be limited to
one primary counsel and, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, local or specialist counsel, provided further that no such limitation shall apply if counsel for the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that there is an actual
or potential conflict of interest that requires separate representation for any Agent; (d) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating, perfecting and recording Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that

the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (h) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default,
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. 
 10.3. Indemnity. 
 (a) In addition to
the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold
harmless, each Arranger, Agent and Lender and the officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, 

  

 132 








 
employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates of each Joint Lead Arranger, Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against
any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the
payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable
law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender, each Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in
connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not
accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 10.4. Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender (and its respective Affiliates) are hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject
to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender or its Affiliates hereunder, the Letters of Credit and
participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of
whether or not (a) such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall
have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 
 10.5. Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Except as provided in
Sections 2.24 or 5.10, subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, 

  

 133 








 
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event
be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so
long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Affected
Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would: 
 (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note; 
 (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment); 
 (iii) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; 
 (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant

 (v) extend the time for payment of any interest or fees;

 (vi) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit;

 (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(b), this Section 10.5(b),
Section 10.5(c) or any provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required; 
 (viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”; provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the
determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on
the Closing Date; 
 (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors
from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents; or 
 (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by any
Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document. 
  

 134 








 (c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the
Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall: 
 (i) increase any Revolving Commitment
of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any
Revolving Commitment of any Lender; 
 (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line
Sublimit or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line Lender; 
 (iii) alter the required application of any
repayments or prepayments as among Classes pursuant to Section 2.15 without the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Tranche A Term Loan Exposure, Tranche B-1 Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders, Tranche B-2 Term Loan
Exposure of all Lenders, Tranche B Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders (where applicable), Tranche X Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders, Revolving Exposure of all Lenders or New Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders, as applicable, of each Class which is

required to be made is not altered; 
 (iv) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to the
purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) without the written consent of Administrative Agent and of Issuing Bank; 
 (v) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Credit Documents and Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements or
the definition of “Lender Counterparty,” “Hedge Agreement,” “Obligations,” or “Secured Obligations” (as defined in any applicable Collateral Document) in each case in a
manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty; 
 (vi) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or the Pledge and Security Agreement so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Credit Documents and Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements or
the definition of “Cash Management Provider”, “Lender Counterparty”, “Cash Management Agreement”, “Cash Management Obligations”, “Obligations” or “Secured
Obligations” (as defined in any applicable Collateral Document) in each case in a manner adverse to any Cash Management Provider with Obligations then outstanding without the written consent of any such Cash Management Provider; or

  

 135 








 (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same
applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent. 
 (d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.
Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, each Credit
Party signatory thereto. 
 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of
each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Register.
Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and, subject to
Section 10.6(h) hereof, no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer
thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the
Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of
such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at
the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. 
 (c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans or other Obligations owing to it (provided, however, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying,
percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments): 
 (i) to
any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; and 
  

 136 








 (ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term
of “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent and, in the case of assignments of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to any such Person (except in the case of assignments made by or to GSCP),
consented to by each of Borrower and Administrative Agent (such consents not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Borrower, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing);
provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall
constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (B) $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed
to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount held by the assigning Lender of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans (where applicable), Tranche X Term
Loans or New Term Loans of a Series) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans other than Tranche A Term Loans; provided that Related Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of determining compliance with such minimum assignment amounts.

 (d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery
to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such
forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to
the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that (i) no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to GSCP or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in
the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender and (ii) no more than one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments
to or by two or more Related Funds). 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each assignee Lender succeeding to an interest
in the Commitments and Loans by assignment and assumption represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or
investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account 

  

 137 








 
in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other
federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). 
 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the applicable “Assignment Effective
Date” with respect to any assignee and assignor (i) such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall be
a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof with respect to the interest assigned, in addition to any interests hereunder it may theretofore hold as a Lender; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an
assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any
amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities of a Lender hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning
Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note to the assigning
Lender, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new
Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning
Lender. 
 (g) Participations. 
 (i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or
in any other Obligation. 
 (ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such
participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter
of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection
with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof 

  

 138 








 
then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a
change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to
the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. 
 (iii) Borrower agrees that each
participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a
participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent and (y) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless Borrower is notified
of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender; provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses
(x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its
Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no
event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 10.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists. 
 10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20,
10.2, 10.3 

  

 139 








 
and 10.4 and the agreements of Agents and Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b), 9.6 and 10.17 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation
or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof. 
 10.9. No
Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to
be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies
given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge
Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise
of any such right, power or remedy. 
 10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent
of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under
any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations
of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled
to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and it shall not be necessary for any Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
  

 140 








 10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and

OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE
APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY
CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT. 
 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT

organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee,
transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(h) or by any direct or indirect contractual
counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, pledgees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and
agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any
disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; 

  

 142 








 
provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower
of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of
any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services
providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 10.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the
Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under
this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would
have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to
Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the
intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such
excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. 
 10.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 10.20. Effectiveness; Entire
Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization
of delivery thereof. With the exception of the syndication, cooperation, indemnification, confidentiality, jurisdiction, governing law and waiver of jury trial provisions contained in the Commitment Letter (which syndication, cooperation,
indemnification, confidentiality, jurisdiction, governing law and waiver of jury trial provisions shall remain in full force and effect), all of the Joint Lead Arrangers’, Agents’ and their respective Affiliates’ obligations under the
Commitment Letter shall terminate and be superseded by the Credit Documents and this Agreement (together with any other documents, instruments or agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith), and the Joint Lead Arrangers, Agents and
their respective 

  

 143 








 
Affiliates shall be released from all liability in connection with such terminated and superseded obligations, including, without limitation, any claim for
injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise. 
 10.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender and
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party,
which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 10.22. Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import
in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each
Arranger, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit
Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such
transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in
favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other
obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and
agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or
respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
