provision of Article V or VIII unless the Borrower, the Administrative Agents and the Required Lenders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in GAAP and, unless such provisions are modified, all Financial
Statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. For the
avoidance of doubt, all operating lease expense with respect to leases of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that would constitute operating leases under GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date shall not be included in the calculations of Capital
Leases and Capital Lease Obligations hereunder unless the Borrower, the Administrative Agents and the Required Lenders otherwise agree to modify the provisions hereof in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, to the extent
that (x) the obligations in respect of any issue of Existing Notes, any Permitted Additional Debt or any Permitted Refinancing of any of the foregoing (including all interest that will accrue thereon through the relevant redemption or maturity
date) and the relevant indenture governing such Indebtedness are defeased or satisfied and discharged in accordance with the terms of such indenture or (y) in the case of any Existing 2016 Subordinated Convertible Notes or Existing 2018
Subordinated Notes, cash is deposited with the Collateral Agent as security for the benefit of the Secured Parties in an amount sufficient to repay in full such Indebtedness at maturity pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agents, then, in any case, such Indebtedness will not be considered outstanding for purposes of this Agreement (including any of the covenants or other provisions in Articles V or VIII). Unless otherwise expressly
provided for herein, the term “consolidated” (including “Consolidated”) with respect to any Person refers to such Person consolidated with its Subsidiaries, and excludes from such consolidation any Unrestricted Subsidiary as if
such Unrestricted Subsidiary were not an Affiliate of such Person (and, without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of calculating the Applicable Margin and all financial ratios and financial terms contained herein
or in any other Loan Document, the financial results of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be ignored). 

  
 52 








 (b) Pro Forma. All components of financial calculations made to determine compliance with
Article V shall be adjusted on a Pro Forma Basis to include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such calculations attributable to any Pro Forma Transaction consummated after the first day of the
applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in good faith by the Borrower based on assumptions expressed therein and that were reasonable based on the information available to the Borrower at the time of
preparation of the Compliance Certificate setting forth such calculations. 
 Section 1.4 Payments. The Administrative
Agents may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan
Party or any L/C Issuer. Any such determination or redetermination by the Administrative Agents shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or Loan Party and no
other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Loan Party or of any Secured Party (other than either Administrative Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any
shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted. The Administrative Agents may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and
may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds. 
 Section 1.5 Interpretation. 

(a) Certain Terms. Except as set forth in any Loan Document, all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP (except for the term “property”, which shall be interpreted as broadly as possible, including, in any case, cash, Securities, other assets, rights under Contractual Obligations and Permits and any right or
interest in any property). The terms “herein”, “hereof” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date in any Loan
Document, the terms “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and
including.” In any other case, the term “including” when used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation.” The term “documents” means all writings, however evidenced and whether in
physical or electronic form, including all documents, instruments, agreements, notices, demands, certificates, forms, financial statements, opinions and reports. The term “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings. 

(b) Certain References. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, references (i) in this Agreement to an Exhibit, Schedule, Article,
Section or clause refer to the appropriate Exhibit or Schedule to, or Article, Section or clause in, this Agreement and (ii) in any Loan Document, to (A) any agreement shall include, without limitation, all exhibits, schedules, appendixes
and annexes to such agreement and, unless any prior consent of any Secured Party or the Loan Parties expressly required hereunder is not obtained, any modification, amendment, restatement or amendment and restatement to any term of such agreement,
(B) any statute shall be to such statute as modified from time to time and to any successor legislation thereto, in each case 

  
 53 








 
as in effect at the time any such reference is operative and (C) any time of day shall be a reference to New York time. Titles of articles, sections, clauses, exhibits, schedules and annexes
contained in any Loan Document are without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the meaning of any term defined (including by
reference) in any Loan Document shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such term. 
 Section 1.6
Available Amount Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such
action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously. 

ARTICLE II 
 THE FACILITIES 

Section 2.1 The Commitments. 

(a) Revolving Credit Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit
Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in
an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to
make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the then effective Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time. Within the limits set forth in the first
sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. 
 (b) Term
Loan Commitments . (i) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make a loan (each an “A Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on
the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s A Term Loan Commitment. Amounts of A Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. 

(ii) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly,
agrees to make a loan (each a “B Term Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s B Term Loan Commitment. Amounts of B Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. 

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures. 

(a) Notice From the Borrower. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent not
later than (i) 10:00 a.m. on the date of, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the proposed Borrowing.
Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event


  
 54 








 
within one Business Day and prior to such Borrowing, with such a Notice of Borrowing. Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, outside of a suspension period pursuant to
Section 2.15, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify whether the loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Initial Term
Loans or Revolving Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. 
 (b) Notice to
Each Lender. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall give to each relevant Lender prompt notice of the Applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice
of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 11.11, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment or due waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Closing Date
and on the date of each borrowing of Loans thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall make the funds made available to it by the Lenders before 12:00 noon on the date of
the proposed Borrowing available to the Borrower. 
 (c) Non-Funding Lenders. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion
thereof) available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Applicable Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in
accordance with this Article II and the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. The Borrower agrees to repay to the Applicable
Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at
the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Applicable Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however,
that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer. In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to the Applicable Administrative Agent any portion of
any payment described above (any such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) agrees to pay such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (i) in the case of a payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to such Loan and (ii) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan
deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation. The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any Non-Funding Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document. 

  
 55 








 Section 2.3 Swing Loans. 

(a) Availability. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole
discretion, make loans in Dollars (each a “Swing Loan”) available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit
Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect
to such Swing Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from the Pro Rata Administrative Agent or the
Required Revolving Credit Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. In connection with the making of any Swing Loan, the
Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in
full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may
be reborrowed under this clause (a). 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall give to
the Applicable Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D duly completed (a “Swingline
Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such borrowing, with such a Swingline Request. In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swing Line Lender may,
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.2, make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing
shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms
of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to the Applicable Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds
available to the Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request. 
 (c) Refinancing Swing Loans. The Swingline
Lender may at any time forward a demand to the Applicable Administrative Agent (which the Applicable Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Credit Lender) that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Applicable
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such Pro Rata Share to the Applicable
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. Upon receipt by the Applicable Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Revolving Credit Lender
shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan. In
addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan. If 

  
 56 








 
any payment made by any Revolving Credit Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation. Such
participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline
Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Credit Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the
Swingline Lender with respect to such portion. 
 (d) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations
pursuant to clause (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of
any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swing Loan Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition
precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.2(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and
(C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party. 
 Section 2.4 Letters of
Credit. 
 (a) Commitment and Conditions. (A) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer
agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower remains responsible for the payment in full of all
amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any Group Member), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars in a minimum face amount of $1,000,000 for each Letter of Credit (or such lesser face amount as may be
acceptable to the respective L/C Issuer)) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 5 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date;
provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance: 

(i) (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the L/C
Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit; 
 (ii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit
(A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (C) is later than 5 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of
Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional one year periods as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such
additional one year period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; or 

  
 57 








 (iii) (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has
not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed
by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other Group Member, such Group Member), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of
the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”). 
 For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C
Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Pro Rata Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders that any
condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. 

(B) Schedule 2.4 contains a description of letters of credit that were issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement
and which remain outstanding on the Closing Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account
parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the currency in which the letter of credit is denominated, (vi) the name of the beneficiary, (vii) the expiry date and (viii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of
credit or a commercial letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and
hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the Closing Date. 

(b) Notice of Issuance. The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Applicable Administrative Agent a notice of any
requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit (other than in respect of an Existing Letter of Credit), which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Applicable Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third
Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C
Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Issuance, with such an L/C Request. 

(c) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Applicable Administrative Agent (which, after receipt,
the Applicable Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) on or prior to (A) any
Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall
contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, (ii) upon the request of the Applicable Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Credit Lender through the Applicable Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of
Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be 

  
 58 








 
requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week. 

(d) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in
any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations. 
 (e) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to
pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under
such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below. In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any
L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Applicable
Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation
shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans
that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 

(f) Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders. Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above
from the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. By making such payment (other than
during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in
whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations. Such
participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Upon receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall
promptly pay over to such Lender all payments received after such payment by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion. 
 (g)
Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan
Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any 

  
 59 








 
provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Group Member)
may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction,
(iii) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Credit Lender, (A) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby
irrevocably waive) or (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender
hereunder. 
 Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments. 

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any
unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. 

(b) Mandatory. 

(i) The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on July 2, 2015, unless the
Closing Date has occurred on or prior to such date. 
 (ii) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant
to this Section 2.5(b), the Total A Term Loan Commitment (and the A Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of A Term Loans on such date). 

(iii) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), the Total B Term
Loan Commitment (and the B Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of B Term Loans on such date). 

(iv) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (v) Each reduction to, or
termination of, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender with such a Commitment. 

(vi) Upon the incurrence of any Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments of the
Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans being refinanced shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a ratable basis by an amount equal to 100% of the Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit
Commitments so incurred. 

  
 60 








 Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall repay the entire
unpaid principal amount of each Tranche of Loans on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans. 
 (b) In addition to any other
mandatory repayments pursuant to Section 2.8, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled A Term Loan Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of A Term Loans, to the
extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b) and 2.21, a “Scheduled A Term Loan Repayment”):

 Section 2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding
principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time, without any premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.11(c) and subject to payment of any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a)
after giving effect to such prepayment); provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount under any Facility shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) at the Borrower’s election, such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to the Revolving Loans of a Defaulting Lender. Optional partial
prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.12(a). 
 Section 2.8 Mandatory
Prepayments. 
 (a) Excess Cash Flow. The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agents, within 10 Business
Days after the last date Financial Statements can be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(b) for any Fiscal Year ending on or after December 31, 2016, an amount equal to the remainder of (A) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such
Fiscal Year minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of all optional prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.21 and all mandatory prepayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 (other
than clause (a)) (but (x) in the case of an optional prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans or any such mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans, in each case, only to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in
the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) in the case of any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21, the amount deducted shall be limited to the amount of cash actually used to prepay principal of such outstanding Term
Loans) during such Fiscal Year, in each case, other than any such prepayments made with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than with Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility) or directly with proceeds received from the issuance of common
Stock or Preferred Stock of the Borrower; provided, however, in the event that the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower as of the end of any Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2016, is
equal to or less than (x) 2.50:1.00, then such percentage for such Fiscal Year shall be reduced to 25% or (y) 2.00:1.00, then such percentage for such Fiscal Year shall be reduced to 0%. 

(b) Debt Issuances. (i) Upon receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash
Proceeds arising from the incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the type specified in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof (other than any such Indebtedness permitted hereunder in
reliance upon Section 8.1), the Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agents an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

  
 63 








 (ii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower of any Specified Refinancing
Term Loans, the Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom to prepay an aggregate principal amount of the applicable Tranche
or Tranches of Term Loans that are to be refinanced with the proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12. 

(c) Asset Sales and Property Loss Events. Upon receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of Net
Cash Proceeds arising from (i) any Sale by any Group Member of any of its property (other than Sales of its own Stock and Stock Equivalents and Excluded Sales, as defined below) to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds thereof exceed $25,000,000 in
any Fiscal Year (or, if the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds therefrom in any Fiscal Year is $25,000,000 or less, to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Sale constitute an “asset sale” or similarly defined term for purposes of
any of the Existing Notes Indentures, any Permitted Refinancing thereof or any Permitted Additional Debt) (it being understood and agreed, however, that such $25,000,000 aggregate annual exclusion shall not apply to any of the Net Cash
Proceeds from any Designated Sale, all of which Net Cash Proceeds shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.8(c)); or (ii) any Property Loss Event with respect to any property of any Group Member to the extent resulting,
in the aggregate with all other such Property Loss Events, in the receipt by any of them of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, the Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agents an aggregate amount equal to
100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, with respect to Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon clause (g) of Section 8.4, 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds); provided, however, (A) that, upon any
such receipt, as long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, any Group Member may make Permitted Reinvestments with such Net Cash Proceeds (other than with any Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with any Designated Sale, which Net Cash
Proceeds (or an amount equal thereto) shall, as promptly as practicable but in any event within 15 days of receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (or such later date, not beyond 30 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, as may be
approved by the Administrative Agents), be paid or caused to be paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b)) and the Borrower shall not be required to make or cause such
payment to the extent (x) such Net Cash Proceeds are intended to be used to make Permitted Reinvestments and (y) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date for such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Administrative Agents an aggregate amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount applicable to such Reinvestment Prepayment Date and such Net Cash Proceeds, and (B) that the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay,
repurchase or redeem any Permitted Additional Debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Loans to the extent such Permitted Additional Debt and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such
Permitted Additional Debt requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Sale or Property Loss Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Additional Debt and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans, L/C Obligations and all such Permitted Additional Debt
(it being understood and agreed that, to the extent any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is not ultimately used to prepay, repurchase or redeem any such Permitted Additional Debt within the time period required by the respective Permitted
Additional Debt Documents, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agents within 3 Business Days after the end of such period 100% of the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not so


  
 64 








 
used). “Excluded Sales” shall mean (i) Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon any of clauses (a) through (d) and (f)(i) of
Section 8.4, and (ii) Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon clauses (f)(ii) and (g) of Section 8.4 if after giving effect to any such Sale and any prepayment of Loans under this
Section 2.8(c) (on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the last Fiscal Quarter for which Financial Statements have been delivered hereunder for the four Fiscal Quarter period ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, as if such
Sale had occurred on the first day of such period), the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower is not greater than 4.00:1.00 (it being understood that prepayments from Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon clauses
(f)(ii) and (g) of Section 8.4 shall only be required to the extent necessary to reduce the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower to 4.00:1.00); provided, however, to the extent that all or any
portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Excluded Sale would otherwise be required to be used to prepay, repurchase or redeem (or make an offer to prepay, repurchase or redeem) any Existing Notes or any Permitted Additional Debt or any Permitted
Refinancing of any of the foregoing, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied as provided above in this Section 2.8(c) without regard to this sentence. 

(d) Excess Outstandings. On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess. 
 (e)
Application of Payments. Any payments made to the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b). 

(f) No Premium or Penalty. Any mandatory prepayments under this Section 2.8 shall be made without any premium or penalty
(except as set forth in Section 2.11(c) in relation to any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.8(b) above and subject to payment of any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a)
after giving effect to such prepayment). 
 Section 2.9 Interest. 

(a) Rate. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured
Treasury Services Agreements) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable
until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect
from time to time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other
Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time. 

(b) Payments. Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), (B) if such Loan is a Term Loan, upon the payment or prepayment of the principal amount on which such interest has accrued and (C)(1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swing Loan), on
the last day of each calendar quarter, (2) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last 

  
 65 








 
day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period and
(ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from the Applicable Administrative Agent after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, effective immediately upon (A) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(c)(i) (with respect to Article V only) or 9.1(e)(ii) or (B) the delivery of a notice by both
Administrative Agents (with a copy to the other Administrative Agent) or the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agents) to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such
Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is
2% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable. 

(d) Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.9, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so
exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower
shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the
operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in
clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 2.9, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total
interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful
Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.9(d), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply
such excess in the order specified in Section 2.12 and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. 

Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. 

(a) Option. The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or
any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject
to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans), to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any
Business Day upon 3 Business Days’ prior notice; 

  
 66 








 provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate
Loans having such Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
permitted at any time at which (1) a Default or an Event of Default shall be continuing and the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or
continuations or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15. 
 (b)
Procedure. Each such election shall be made by giving the Applicable Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or
Continuation”) duly completed. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in the applicable Facility of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. If the Applicable
Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such
Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable Facility in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. 

Section 2.11 Fees. 

(a) Unused Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment fee
on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the
L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit (the “Unused Revolver Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%, payable in arrears (x) on the last day
of each calendar quarter and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to
pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to such L/C Issuer, certain fees, documentary and processing charges as separately agreed between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer or otherwise in accordance with
such L/C Issuer’s standard schedule in effect at the time of determination thereof and (ii) to the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares, a fee accruing at a
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar quarter ending after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that the fee payable under this clause (ii) shall be increased by 2.00% per annum and shall be payable, in
addition to being payable on any date it is otherwise required to be paid hereunder, on demand effective immediately upon (x) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(c)(i) (with respect to
Article V only) or Section 9.1(e)(ii) or (y) the delivery of a notice by either Administrative Agent (with copy to the other Administrative Agent) or the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agents) to the
Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing. 

  
 67 








 (c) Soft Call Protection on B Term Loans. At the time of the effectiveness of any
Repricing Event that is consummated on or prior to the sixth month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term Lender with outstanding B Term Loans which
are repaid, prepaid or converted pursuant to such Repricing Event (including each Term Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Event and is replaced or repaid under Section 2.18), a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the
aggregate principal amount of all B Term Loans repaid, prepaid or converted in connection with such Repricing Event. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Event. 

(d) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agents and other Persons additional fees, the amount and
dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letters and the Engagement Letter. 
 Section 2.12 Application of
Payments. 
 (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.12(c), any prepayment of Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be applied (x) pro rata to the outstanding Tranches of Term Loans (with each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans to receive its Term Loan Percentage of the applicable prepayment) unless, in the case of
any Term Loans incurred after the Closing Date, the respective Lenders thereof agree to a lesser percentage as provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect not to prepay Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension at a time when the existing Loans from which such Extended Loans were
extended are outstanding, and (y) to the remaining scheduled installments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower at the time of the respective prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity
thereof). 
 (b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below with respect to the
application of payments during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made by the Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be applied in
accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied (i) first (other than in respect of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(d)), (A) to repay on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal balance of the
Term Loans (with each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans to receive its Term Loan Percentage of the applicable repayment) unless either (x) such prepayment is to be made pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii), in which case, such prepayment
shall be applied solely to the Tranche of Term Loans to be refinanced with the Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of the respective Specified Refinancing Term Loans, or (y) in the case of any Term Loans incurred after the Closing Date, the
Lenders thereof agree to a lesser percentage as provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be (and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such Lenders elect a lesser
percentage, remaining amount shall be allocated to the other Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis), and (B) to the extent applied to any Tranche of Term Loans, to reduce ratably the then remaining scheduled installments of each such
Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, (ii) second to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans (without any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments) and (iii) third, in the
case of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(d) to the extent that the outstanding L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit exceed either the L/C Sublimit or the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments,


  
 68 








 
to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9.3 and, then, any excess shall be retained by the Borrower; provided, however,
(x) with respect to up to $100,000,000 of aggregate principal repayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8(c) in connection with any Designated Sales, such principal prepayments may, at the Borrower’s option (and as
the Borrower chooses to allocate with respect to any Designated Sale or Sales in its discretion) and upon written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, first be applied toward the repayment of the outstanding principal balance of any
Revolving Loans and Swing Loans (without any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments) and (y) with respect to the remaining principal repayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8(c) in connection with any Designated
Sales (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts not elected to be applied toward the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans pursuant to preceding clause (x)), such principal prepayments shall be applied as provided above in this
Section 2.12(b) without regard to this proviso. 
 (c) Application of Payments During an Event of Default. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments or prepayments in respect of any
Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agents may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or
(B) the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds
of Collateral (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Agents, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees
or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts
of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Sections 2.20 and 9.3 and to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging
Agreements and Secured Treasury Services Agreements and (v) fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations. 
 (d)
Application of Payments Generally. All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on Swing Loans, on any
portion of the Revolving Loans that the Applicable Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Applicable Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the
L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and third, to repay the Revolving Loans. All payments and prepayments of any Revolving
Loans or Term Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and second, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest
Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. All payments and prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce ratably the remaining installments of such outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans
(provided that any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied as set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.12). If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any
priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the 

  
 69 








 
proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether
or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding 

(e) Application of Prepayments among the Administrative Agents. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) above, any payments
required to be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agents pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8 and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 or any other prepayment required to be made pursuant to
this Agreement shall be paid by the Borrower to the Applicable Administrative Agent and, in the case of any prepayment of principal of Term Loans which is to be applied to more than one Tranche of Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Applicable
Administrative Agent the Term Loan Percentage of the applicable prepayment in respect of each such Tranche of outstanding Term Loans. 

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. 

(a) Procedure. (i) The Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 12:00 noon on the day when due to
the Applicable Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a

 (iii) Payments received by the Applicable Administrative Agent after
12:00 noon, in the case of clause (i) above, or 11:00 a.m., in the case of clause (ii) above, shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 

(b) Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agents on the
basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate, 365/366 days), in each case for the actual number of days (including the
first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent (including
determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such
extension of time. 
 (d) Advancing Payments. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to
the Applicable Administrative Agent on such date and the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon
(at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a
participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Applicable Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall establish and maintain
at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such
participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and 

  
 71 








 
(B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder; provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such information to any Person (including the identity of any SPV or Person who purchases a participation in any Obligation or any information relating to either the SPV’s or Person
who purchases a participation’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that the relevant parties, in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such interest in a Commitment, Loan, L/C Obligation or other obligation is in “registered form” under Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).
Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the records maintained by a Lender shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in their records as the owner of such interest in any Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations or other obligations under any Loan Document for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (b) Records of the Applicable Administrative Agent. The Applicable Administrative
Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Applicable Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (each, a “Register”) in which the Applicable Administrative Agent agrees to register
by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the applicable Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Outstandings, each of their obligations
under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in
which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 and Section 11.2, (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of
each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the
amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Applicable Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations. 

(c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes
evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective
until recorded therein. This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of
Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions). 

  
 72 








 (d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in each Register and in the accounts maintained
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided,
however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Applicable Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In
addition, the Loan Parties, each Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in each Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information
contained in each Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, each Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in any Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agents. 
 (e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such
Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a Facility, and substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, B-2, B-3 or B-4, as applicable; provided, however, that only one Note for each Facility shall be
issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the applicable Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the
original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered
assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. 

Section 2.15 Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Article II, the following shall apply: 
 (a) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that
(A) the Applicable Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (B) the Required Lenders notify the
Applicable Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly so
notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) Illegality.
If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for
any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Applicable
Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Applicable Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that
it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

  
 73 








 (c) Effect of Suspension. If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate
Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a
Base Rate Loan. 
 Section 2.16 Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. 

(a) Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to the Borrower (with copy to the Applicable
Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans
of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed
Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (B) to
the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable
Interest Period or (C) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate
Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market. 
 (b) Increased Costs. If at any time
any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the later of (x) the date hereof and (y) the date such Lender or L/C Issuer entered into this Agreement (including by assignment) as such, the adoption of, or any change in or in the
interpretation, implementation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of
(i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of
Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C
Issuer (with copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

 (c) Increased Capital Requirements. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the later of (x) the date
hereof and (y) the date such Lender or L/C Issuer entered into this Agreement (including by assignment) as such, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, implementation, application or administration of, or compliance with,
any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, 

  
 74 








 
liquidity, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C
Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or L/C Issuer (or any corporation
controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or
corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Applicable Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. 

(d) Compensation Certificate. Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of
the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount,
such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (e) Specified Regulations. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules,
guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel
III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with
this Agreement (including this Section 2.16). 
 (f) Lookback Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amounts incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 270-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. 

Section 2.17 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.17, each payment by any Loan Party
under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all Taxes. “Taxes” shall mean all present or future taxes and levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings that in each case are imposed by a Governmental Authority,
including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, but excluding any (i) taxes measured by net income (including branch profits or similar taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case
imposed on any Secured Party as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other
than such connection arising solely from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, received or perfected a security interest under, or 

  
 75 








 
enforced or become a party to or engaged in any other transactions pursuant to or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan Document), (ii) United States federal withholding taxes to the
extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” hereunder or designates a new lending office, except to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee
(other than pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.18(a) (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment from such other Secured Party became effective, to receive additional
amounts under this clause, (iii) taxes (including withholding taxes) that would not have been imposed but for the failure by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below,
(iv) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA and (v) Other Taxes. 
 (b) Gross-Up. If any Taxes shall be
required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document (other than any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Treasury Services Agreement) to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as
necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for such Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had
no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agents an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing
such payment. 
 (c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to pay
in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment
thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The Swingline Lender may, without
any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrower, by making funds available to the Applicable Administrative Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used
by Applicable Administrative Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at its address referred to
in Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
 (d) Indemnification of Secured
Parties. The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agents), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to a Governmental Authority, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to
the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agents, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Applicable Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. 

  
 76 








 (e) Indemnification of Administrative Agents. Each Lender shall severally indemnify each
of the Administrative Agents, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified such Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.14 relating to the maintenance of a record of participants and SPVs and
(iii) any present or future taxes and levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings that are in each case imposed by a Governmental Authority that are not included in the definition of Taxes (“Excluded Taxes”)
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by an Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by an Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes each Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by an Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to an Administrative Agent under this clause (e). 
 (f) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by Borrower or to change the jurisdiction
of its lending office if, in the sole determination of such Lender, such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (g) Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying
party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h) Tax Forms. (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender
Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or, after a change in any 

  
 77 








 
Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S.
Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously
delivered by it pursuant to this subclause (h) (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or either Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agents
and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty), or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption), or any successor form and a certificate in
substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 (or Lender, in the case of a participant or SPV) that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (C) any other applicable document
prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents or
(D) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender Party is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit
I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender Party are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender Party may provide a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall, in the case
of any payment subject to FATCA in respect of any Loan, Letters of Credit, Note or Obligation, provide any forms, documentation, or other information as shall be prescribed by the IRS to demonstrate that the relevant Non-U.S. Lender Party has
complied with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that such payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative
Agents have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an
applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agents shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 

(ii) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender
Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered
by it pursuant to this clause (h) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or either Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agents and the
Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. 

  
 78 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a U.S. Lender Party and a Non-U.S. Lender Party shall be treated
as having complied with the requirements and delivered the documentation required by this clause (h) if, after the time such U.S. Lender Party or Non-U.S. Lender Party has become a Lender hereunder, a change in a Requirement of Law or
change in circumstance with respect to the Borrower subjects any such Lender to taxes (including withholding taxes) and such Lender is unable to provide the forms herein allowing for an exemption from or reduction in such taxes. 

Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders. 

(a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender in any Facility that is not an Affiliate of either Administrative Agent (an
“Affected Lender”) (i) makes a claim under clause (b) or (c) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b) that it becomes illegal for such Lender
to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan in such Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b), (iv) becomes a Defaulting Lender, (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent
to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in such Facility or (vi) does not agree to any Extension Amendment with respect to any of its Loans or Commitments
pursuant to a request by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due in such Facility with the consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent or
substitute for such Affected Lender in such Facility any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender (none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender) or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) to the Applicable Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”). 
 (b) Procedure. To
substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such Facility, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment
or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Applicable Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender
of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations (including, to the extent applicable, pursuant to Section 2.11(c)) owing to such Affected Lender with respect to
such Facility (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in such Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such
Affected Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility, payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(d) and (iii) in the case
of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall,
among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment of the Affected Lender under such Facility. 

(c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Applicable Administrative Agent
shall record such substitution or payment in the 

  
 79 








 
applicable Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in any Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in such Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case
of any substitution in any Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such
Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender”
hereunder having a Commitment in such Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment in such Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such
substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to such Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and
purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid. 
 Section 2.19 Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments. 
 (a) The Borrower may, at any time after the Closing Date, at the Borrower’s written request to the Applicable
Administrative Agent, request that one or more Lenders and/or other financial institutions that will become Lenders hereunder (x) make incremental term loans hereunder either through adding such incremental term loans to the outstanding
principal amount of the B Term Loans hereunder or any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans then outstanding or through a separate Tranche of Term Loans hereunder (such incremental term loans, in either case, “Incremental Term Loans”
and the commitments to which such Incremental Term Loans relate, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments through adding incremental revolving credit
commitments to the then outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (such revolving credit commitments, “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”); provided that: 

(i) (x) the aggregate principal amount of any requested Incremental Term Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and
in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) the aggregate amount of any requested Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

 (ii) the Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such agreements, instruments, documents, resolutions, opinions of counsel,
solvency certificate and officer’s certificates and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent in connection with such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments; 
 (iii) subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.19(a), no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to the incurrence of (x) the respective Incremental Term Loans pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the application of proceeds therefrom and/or (y) the
respective Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or any Revolving Loans to be made in connection therewith and the application of proceeds therefrom; 

(iv) subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.19(a), all of the representations and warranties contained
herein and in the other Loan Documents are true 

  
 80 








 
and correct in all material respects (it being understood that (x) any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be required to be true and
correct in all respects and (y) any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (or all respects, as the case may be) as of such specified date);

 (v) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis (and assuming the full utilization of the respective
Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments), as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter on or prior to the date of the respective incurrence for which Financial Statements have been delivered
hereunder, as if such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments had been incurred (and, if incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, as if such Permitted Acquisition had been consummated) on the first day of the four
Fiscal Quarter period ended on the last day of such most recently ended Fiscal Quarter (and after giving effect to any other Pro Forma Transaction that is consummated after the beginning of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter but prior to or
simultaneously with the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans and/or the incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments), with (x) a Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.00:1.00 and (y) a Consolidated
Total Leverage Ratio of no greater than 5.75:1.00; 
 (vi) (A) in the case of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments
incurred pursuant to this Section 2.19, the terms and conditions of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (and any Revolving Loans to be made pursuant thereto, including as to maturity and pricing (including interest rate,
interest rate margins, rate floors (if any) and unused fees, but excluding underwriting fees, arrangement fees, upfront fees and other similar fees) shall be the same as the Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) in the case of Incremental Term
Loans made under this Section 2.19, such Incremental Term Loans shall have an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date no earlier than the Scheduled B Term Loan Maturity Date and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than
the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the B Term Loans; provided, however, if the new Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant this Section 2.19 are, at the Borrower’s election, to be added to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the B Term Loans or any then outstanding Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Maturity Date as the B Term Loans or such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the
case may be, and shall have the same scheduled amortization dates as the B Term Loans or such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.6(c) or the respective Incremental Amendment, and with the amount
of each scheduled amortization payment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as was previously applicable to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the B Term Loans or such Tranche or
Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining scheduled amortization payment of the B Term Loans or such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.6(c)
or the respective Incremental Amendment proportionately; 
 (vii) if the Effective Yield for any new Tranche of Incremental
Term Loans made under this Section 2.19 determined as of the initial funding date for such 

  
 81 








 
Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield relating to the B Term Loans immediately prior to the making of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans by more than 0.50%, then the
Effective Yield relating to the B Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Effective Yield relating to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%; 

(viii) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans that are to be made pursuant to (and to constitute a part of) the B Term Loans
or any then outstanding Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, (I) such new Incremental Term Loans shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which such Incremental Term Loans shall be added; provided that, if the
Applicable Margins for such new Incremental Term Loans are greater than the Applicable Margins for the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added, the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Term Loans shall be
increased by an amount necessary to eliminate such deficiency, and (II) subject to preceding clause (I), the Effective Yield applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental
Term Loans; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans that are to be added to (and constitute a part of) the B Term Loans, if the Effective Yield of such new Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield for the B Term
Loans, then the Effective Yield for the B Term Loans shall be increased (to the extent necessary) such that the Effective Yield thereof is not less than the Effective Yield of such new Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%; 

(ix) except as expressly set forth above, prior to the date on which all B Term Loans have been repaid in full, all other terms
and conditions with respect to any Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be the same as the terms and conditions applying to the B Term Loans, provided that any Tranche of Incremental Term Loans may
provide that different terms and conditions apply after such date; 
 (x) the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the
Applicable Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that the full amount of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (assuming the full utilization thereof) to be incurred may be incurred without
violating the terms of any other material Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the documentation governing any such Indebtedness (excluding any such Indebtedness that is to be refinanced in whole with the proceeds of such
Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); and 

(xi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer
of the Borrower, (A) certifying compliance with the requirements of (x) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, preceding clauses (i) through (x), inclusive, and (y) in the case of Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments, preceding clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, and (x) and (B) containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by (x) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the preceding clauses
(v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and, if applicable, (x) and (y) in the case of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the preceding clauses (v), (vi) and, if applicable, (x). 

  
 82 








 Any request under this Section 2.19 shall be submitted by the Borrower in writing to the Applicable
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward copies to the Lenders for which it is acting as an Administrative Agent). The Borrower may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders and other financial institutions that will become Lenders
hereunder (the “Increasing Lenders”) that agree to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (which fees, as it relates to any Lender or other financial institution that will become a
Lender, may be variable based upon the amount of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments that any such Lender or other financial institution is willing to provide). No Lender shall have any obligation,
express or implied, to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.19 in connection with the provision
or implementation of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or incurrence of Incremental Term Loans thereunder or any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. No Lender which declines to provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental
Revolving Credit Commitments may be replaced with respect to its existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19(a), to the extent that the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are,
substantially concurrently with the receipt thereof, to be used by the Borrower or any other Group Member to finance, in whole or in part, a Limited Condition Acquisition, then (x) the requirement set forth in clause (a)(iv) above that
all representations and warranties be true and correct in all material respects (other than certain customary “specified representations” as may be agreed by the relevant Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and the Borrower)
and/or (y) the absence of a Default or Event of Default requirement set forth in clause (a)(iii) above (other than with respect to any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a) and (e)), in each case, may be waived or limited,
as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans without the consent of the existing Lenders 
 (b) Each
Increasing Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable specify in writing the amount of the proposed Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, that it is willing to provide (provided that
any Lender not so responding within 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent) shall be deemed to have declined such a request). The Borrower may accept some or all of the offered amounts or
designate new lenders that are reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.19 (but only to the extent that such new lender would otherwise be eligible to
be a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2(b), including by reason of obtaining all necessary consents thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof) (each such new lender being a “New Lender”), which New Lenders
may provide all or a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. 

(c) Subject to the foregoing, any increase requested by the Borrower shall be effective upon (A) delivery to the Applicable
Administrative Agent of each of the following documents: (i) a notice of such increase to the Increasing Lenders and New Lenders, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent, signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower; (ii) to the extent requested by any New Lender or Increasing Lender, 

  
 83 








 
executed Notes in respect of Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments issued by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.14(e); (iii) an
amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each other applicable Loan Party, each Increasing Lender (if any), each New Lender (if any), the
Applicable Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, to the extent necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Applicable Administrative Agent to give effect to any Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments, in each case, to be made or incurred pursuant to this Section 2.19 in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19; and (iv) any other certificates or documents that the Applicable Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent, and (B) satisfaction on the effective date of any Incremental Amendment and the making of each Incremental Term Loan
Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments of (x) subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 2.19(a), each of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.2, and (y) such other
conditions (if any) as the parties thereto shall mutually agree as set forth in the respective Incremental Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.1, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
are expressly permitted, without the consent of the other Lenders, to enter into an Incremental Amendment. 
 (d) On each effective date
with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by an amount equal to the respective Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (and
the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increasing Lender shall constitute a part of, and be added to, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments), (ii) each Lender
in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Increasing Lender and/or New Lender, as applicable, providing a portion of the increase to
the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be
deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding L/C Exposure under the Revolving Credit Facility and Swing Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of
participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (x) participations hereunder in L/C Exposure and (y) participations hereunder in Swing Loans held by each Lender (including each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender)
under the Revolving Credit Facility will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effective date of such increase be prepaid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans under
the Revolving Credit Facility made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in
accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the
transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 

  
 84 








 Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) if any Swing Loan Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of such Swing Loan Exposure and L/C Exposure shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that
are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent (x) the sum of the Individual Exposures
of all Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders that are
Non-Defaulting Lenders, (y) immediately following the reallocation to a Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual Exposure of such Revolving Credit Lender does not exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment at such
time and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time (it being understood that no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender
arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation); 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
promptly, but in any event within two Business Days following notice by the Applicable Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 105% of such L/C Issuer’s Fronting
Exposure for so long as such Fronting Exposure is outstanding (the “L/C Back-Stop Arrangements”); 
 (iii)
the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure other than for the period for which such Defaulting Lender has provided
cash collateral in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer in an aggregate amount equal to 105% of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure; 

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(a), then
(subject to clause (iii) above) the fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving
Credit Percentages; and 
 (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated
pursuant to this Section 2.20(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any L/C Issuer or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to each respective L/C Issuer until such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 

  
 85 








 (b) in the case of a Lender Default with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Borrower shall
not be required to pay any fees to any such Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.11(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Revolving Credit Commitments; 

(c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, so long as any Revolving Credit
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, amend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that it will have no
Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan or such issuance, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Loan shall be
allocated among Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 

(d) in the event that the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender each agree that a Defaulting
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Credit Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) such Revolving Credit Lender shall again be entitled (commencing as of the time of such determination) to any fees payable
to it as a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) with respect to its unused Revolving Credit Commitments and pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) the Swing Loan
Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and on such date such Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase at par such of
the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Pro Rata Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Credit Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its
Revolving Credit Percentage and (iii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the L/C Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. If the Revolving Credit
Commitments have been terminated, all other Revolving Credit Obligations have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the L/C
Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower; and 
 (e) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Applicable Administrative Agent from a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 11.8 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agents hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the L/C
Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Applicable


  
 86 








 
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C
Issuers or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Lenders who are not Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender
until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto 
 Section 2.21 Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) The Borrower may
from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction”), and with each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing
selected by the Borrower (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: 

(i) each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 2.21 and on Schedule 2.21; 
 (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Auction; 

(iii) each Auction shall be open and offered to all Lenders of the relevant Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata
basis; 
 (iv) the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans that the Borrower shall
offer to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $25,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Applicable Administrative Agent); 

(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans purchased by the Borrower pursuant
to an Auction shall automatically be canceled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); 

  
 87 








 (vi) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans may be used to consummate an
Auction; 
 (vii) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time; and 

(viii) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager
and the Applicable Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii) and (vi)). 

(b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met
at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. The Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy
one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or
Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest
(except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of
the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.7 and 2.8 (other than to the extent set forth in Section 2.8(a))
and Section 11.9 (although the par principal amount of Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be applied to reduce the remaining scheduled installments of such Tranche of Term
Loans pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and (c) of the applicable Lenders being repaid on a pro rata basis (based on the remaining principal amount thereof) without affecting the scheduled installments of such Tranche
of Term Loans relating to the Lenders whose Term Loans have not been so purchased). 
 (c) The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby
consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.21 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and Section 11.9 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.21 shall not
constitute Investments by the Borrower)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.21. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be
entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article X and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and
the Administrative Agents shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction. 

(d) Each Lender participating in any Auction hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such Auction (1) the Borrower may
have, and later may come into 

  
 88 








 
possession of, information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to participate in such Auction
(such information, the “Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently, without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agents, any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective
Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Administrative Agent,
any Joint Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries, any Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, under applicable law or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender participating in any Auction further
acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers or the other Lenders. 

Section 2.22 Specified Refinancing Loans. (a) The Borrower may, from time to time after the Closing Date, and subject to
the consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), add one or more new term loan facilities (“Specified Refinancing Term Loans”) or new revolving credit
facilities (“Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments”) under this Agreement pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to refinance all or
any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), as applicable, then outstanding under this Agreement (subject to clause (A) of the proviso at the end of this sentence), in each
case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that any such Specified Refinancing Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments: 

(i) will rank pari passu in right of payment as the other Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as
applicable, hereunder; 
 (ii) will be incurred by the Borrower and will not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a
Guarantor; 
 (iii) will be, if secured, (1) secured solely by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior
basis with the Liens securing the Obligations and (2) subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents; 

(iv) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof;

 (v) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the Maturity Date of the Term Loans or the Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable, being refinanced and (x) in the case of any Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, shall not have any mandatory commitment reductions or amortization that is prior to the scheduled Maturity Date of the
Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced and (y) in the case of any Specified Refinancing Term Loans, will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity then in effect of the Term
Loans being refinanced; 

  
 89 








 (vi) will share ratably (or if unsecured or junior as to security, on a junior
basis in respect of) any optional and mandatory prepayments of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable (unless the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable,
agree to participate on a less than pro rata basis in any such optional or mandatory prepayments); 
 (vii) in
the case of any Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, shall provide that the borrowing of Revolving Loans with respect to Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis (or, in the

Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility is incurred; 
 (viii) in the case of any Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit
Commitments that include Letters of Credit and Swing Loans under the applicable Refinancing Amendment which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments with a later Maturity Date, all
Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Credit Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving
effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued, although the respective Refinancing Amendment may contain technical changes related to the borrowing, replacement Letter of
Credit and Swing Loan procedures of the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments were incurred); and 

(ix) subject to clauses (iv), (v) and (vii) above, will have terms and conditions (other than
pricing and optional prepayment and redemption terms) that are substantially identical to, or less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable, than, the terms and conditions of the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Applicable Administrative
Agent in good faith at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material
terms and conditions of such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirements set forth in this clause
(vii) shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Applicable Administrative Agent provides notice to the Borrower of an objection (including a reasonable description of the basis upon
which it objects) within five Business Days after being notified of such determination by the Borrower). 
 (b) (x) The Net Cash Proceeds of
any Specified Refinancing Term Loans shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced, in each case pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) and
(y) upon the incurrence of any Specified Refinancing Revolving 

  
 90 








 
Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced shall be permanently reduced as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.5(b)(vi) (together with any applicable
prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans thereunder to the extent that such outstandings exceed the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced); provided, however, that (A) the Net Cash Proceeds from any incurrence
of Specified Refinancing Term Loans may not be used to prepay any Tranche of outstanding Term Loans that are either unsecured or secured on a junior basis to the Obligations at a time when more senior Term Loans are outstanding (or will remain
outstanding after giving effect to any such prepayment), (B) Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments may not be used to refinance any Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that are either unsecured or secured on a junior basis to
other Tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when more senior Revolving Credit Commitments are outstanding (or will remain outstanding after giving effect to any such refinancing) and (C) such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or
Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, (x) may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only
during periods after the Latest Maturity Date then in effect and (y) shall not have a principal amount (or accreted value) greater than the Term Loans being refinanced (plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees, discounts,
premiums or expenses incurred in connection therewith) or the Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced, as applicable. 
 (c) The
Borrower shall make any request for Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to a written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent specifying in reasonable detail the
proposed terms thereof. Any proposed Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall first be requested on a ratable basis from existing Lenders in respect of the Term Loans or Revolving
Credit Commitments being refinanced. At the time of sending such notice to such Lenders, the Borrower (in consultation with the Applicable Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to
respond (which shall in no event be less than 5 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Applicable Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Each applicable Lender shall notify the
Applicable Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to participate in providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and, if so, whether by an amount
equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Lender’s ratable share in respect of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments) of such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving
Credit Commitments. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Specified Refinancing
Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified
Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each applicable Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested issuance of
Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, and subject to the approval of the Applicable Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may
also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders in respect of such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements, including any supplements or amendments to the Loan Documents providing for such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments to be

Documents with the Borrower and the other Loan Parties as may be necessary in order to establish new Tranches of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable
opinion of the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this
Section 2.22. 
 (e) Each Tranche of Specified Refinancing Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.22 shall be in
an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000. Each Tranche of Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments incurred under this Section 2.22 shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $10,000,000. 

(f) The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Term
Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments incurred pursuant thereto (including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrower, the Administrative
Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agents and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of or consistent with this Section 2.22.

outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like Maturity Date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the 

  
 92 








 
Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Request to extend the Maturity Date of each
such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Request (including by increasing the interest
rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and
each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) (in each
case not so extended), being a “Tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall
constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

date of the Revolving Credit Commitment, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrower and the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders and set forth in the relevant Extension Request), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any
Revolving Credit Lender (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment” and the Revolving Loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving
Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Revolving Credit
Lenders, as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except (A) for payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) for repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments of Revolving Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension
date, and (C) as otherwise provided in Section 2.22 with respect to Specified Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments that are unsecured or secured on a junior basis) shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other
Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swing Loans which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with a later Maturity Date, all Swing Loans and
Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Credit Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to changes thereto on
an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued, although the respective Extension Amendment may contain technical changes related to the borrowing, replacement Letter of Credit and Swing Loan procedures of
the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments were extended), (3) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the
applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any Revolving Credit Facility on a better
than pro rata basis as compared 

  
 93 








 
to any other Revolving Credit Facility with a later Maturity Date (x) if agreed to by the Revolving Credit Lenders in respect of such Revolving Credit Facility with a later Maturity Date in
the respective Extension Amendment or (y) if such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are unsecured or secured on a junior basis, (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be governed by the same
assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, Specified
Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different Maturity Dates; 

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, optional prepayments, premium, required prepayment
dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Extension
Request), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans (each an “Extending Term Lender”, together with the Extending Revolving Credit Lenders the “Extending Lenders”)
extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Term Loans subject to such Extension
Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date then in effect); 

(iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans extended
thereby; 
 (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby; 
 (v) the Extended Term Loans and the Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be (A) secured by any Lien on any asset other than the Collateral and (B) guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors; 

(vi) subject to the proviso contained in clause (x) of Section 2.12(a), any Extended Term Loans may
participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any optional or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the
respective Extension Request; 
 (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount
thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Request, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving
Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as
the case may be, have accepted such Extension Request (subject to rounding required by the Administrative Agents); and 

  
 94 








 (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with
the foregoing. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments extended pursuant to an Extension Request. 

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) such Extensions shall not
constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.7 or 2.8 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment. The Administrative Agents and the
Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.12(a)
and 2.12(b)) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23. 

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Applicable
Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be
established by, or acceptable to, the Applicable Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.23. Any Extending Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving
Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior
to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Applicable Administrative Agent and proration as provided in clause (vii) of Section 2.23(a)). Any Lender not responding within the
requested time period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the respective Extension. 
 (d) Extended Term Loans and Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement and, if reasonably requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent, the other Loan Documents
(which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.23(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other
than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
respective Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.23(a), each Extension Amendment may amend this Agreement to ensure ratable participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans by
Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. It is understood and agreed that each Lender hereunder has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent, to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by
this Section 2.23 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. 

  
 95 








 (e) In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of
such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and (ii) covering such other matters as the Applicable Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. 

(f) In the event that the Applicable Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans or
Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Applicable Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into
an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension
Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Outstandings) or Term Loans, as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Outstandings) or Extended Term Loans, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum
allocation of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the
Applicable Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.23(d)), and
(iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.23(d). 

(g) No exchange or conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this
Section 2.23 shall (x) be made at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and no Extension Request shall be delivered to the Lenders at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing)
and (y) constitute an optional or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

Regulations. 
 Section 7.3 Payment of Obligations. Each Group Member shall pay or discharge before they become

preserve (a) in good working order and condition all of its property necessary in the conduct of its business and (b) all rights, permits, licenses, approvals and privileges (including all Permits and its registered Intellectual Property)
necessary, used or useful in the conduct of its business (whether for the ownership, lease, sublease or other operation or occupation of property or otherwise), and shall make all necessary or appropriate filings with, and give all required notices
to, Governmental Authorities, except for such failures to maintain and preserve the items set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
Group Member shall perform all obligations under any Contractual Obligation to which such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it or any of its properties is subject, except where the failure to perform would not have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

any property or business of any Loan Party to name the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate (except in the case of director and officer liability policies, employee fidelity policies,
workers compensation policies, employee health and welfare policies, kidnap and ransom policies, theft policies, terrorism or similar policies), and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that no cancellation, material addition in amount or

 Section 7.6
Keeping of Books. The Group Members shall keep proper books of record and account, in which, in all material respects, full, true and correct entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP and all other applicable Requirements of Law of all

 Section 7.7 Access to Books and Property.
Each Group Member shall permit the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and any Related Person of any of them, as often as reasonably requested, at any reasonable time during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice (except that,

 113 








 Section 7.8 Environmental. Each Group Member shall comply with, and maintain
its real property, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws (including by (x) ensuring that there are no Releases of any Hazardous Material at, to or from any real
property owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied by any Group Member that would violate any Environmental Law, form the basis for any Environmental Liabilities or otherwise adversely affect the value or marketability of any real
property (whether or not owned by any Group Member) and (y) implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority), except, in each case, for failures to
comply that would not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if either Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that
there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Group Member or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, in each case, that would have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, then each Group Member shall,
promptly upon receipt of request from either Administrative Agent, cause the performance of, and allow the Administrative Agents and their respective Related Persons access to such real property for the purpose of conducting, such environmental
audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as either Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, to
the extent not conducted by the Administrative Agents or any of their respective Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents and shall be in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents. 
 Section 7.9 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the

consummation thereof or (in either case) such longer period of time agreed to by the Collateral Agent), do each of the following, unless otherwise agreed by the Collateral Agent: 

(a) deliver to the Collateral Agent such modifications to the terms of the Loan Documents (or, to the extent applicable as determined by the
Collateral Agent, such other documents), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to ensure the following: 

(i) (A) each Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall guaranty, as primary obligor and not as surety, the payment of the Obligations
of the Borrower on the terms set forth in the Guaranty and Security Agreement; and 
 (ii) each Loan Party (including any
Person required to become a Guarantor pursuant to clause (i) above) shall effectively grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in all of its


  
 114 








 
property, including all of its Stock and Stock Equivalents and other Securities, as security for the Obligations of such Loan Party (excluding any Excluded Property, as defined in the Guaranty
and Security Agreement) on the terms set forth in the Guaranty and Security Agreement; 
 provided, however, that (A) unless the Borrower
and the Collateral Agent otherwise agree, in no event shall (x) any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary be required to guaranty the payment of any Obligation, (y) the Loan Parties, individually or collectively, be required to pledge in excess of
65% of the outstanding Voting Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary (and subject to clause (z) hereafter) or (z) a security interest be required to be granted on any property of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary as security for any
Obligation, (B) no Unrestricted Subsidiary (so long as same remains an Unrestricted Subsidiary) shall be required to guaranty the payment of any Obligation or grant a security interest on any of its properties and (C) unless the Borrower
otherwise elects, no Immaterial Subsidiary (so long as same remains an Immaterial Subsidiary and taking into account the proviso to the definition of “Material Subsidiary” contained herein) acquired or formed after the Closing Date shall
be required to guaranty the payment of any Obligation or grant a security interest in any of its properties unless such Subsidiary provides a guarantee in respect of any Indebtedness incurred under the Existing Notes Indentures, any Permitted
Additional Debt Document, any Permitted Acquisition Debt Document or any Permitted Refinancing of any of the foregoing; 
 (b) deliver to
the Collateral Agent all documents representing all Stock, Stock Equivalents, other Securities, chattel paper and instruments pledged pursuant to the documents delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, together with undated powers or
endorsements duly executed in blank; 
 (c) upon request of either Administrative Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent a Mortgage on any
real property owned by any Loan Party having a fair market value in excess of $15,000,000, together with all Mortgage Supporting Documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent relating thereto (or, if such real property is located in a
jurisdiction outside the United States, similar documents reasonably deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent to obtain, to the extent possible, the equivalent in such jurisdiction of a first-priority mortgage on such real property); 

(d) subject to the terms of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, take all other actions necessary or advisable to ensure the validity or
continuing validity of any guaranty for any Obligation or any Lien securing any Obligation, to perfect, maintain, evidence or enforce any Lien securing any Obligation or to ensure such Lien has the same priority as that of the Liens on similar
Collateral set forth in the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date (or, for Collateral located outside the United States, a similar priority reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent), including (x) the filing of UCC financing
statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Loan Documents or applicable Requirements of Law or as the Collateral Agent may otherwise reasonably request, and (y) with respect to the outstanding Voting Stock of any Excluded
Foreign Subsidiary required to be pledged hereunder (which shall specifically exclude Orgenics Ltd. and Orgenics International Holdings, B.V. for so long as the terms of the Indebtedness of any such Group Member prohibit such pledge or would give
rise to an event of default thereunder), upon request of the Collateral Agent, pledge agreements and similar documents deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent to obtain and perfect a security interest or the equivalent under the laws of the
jurisdiction of organization of such Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, in such Voting Stock; provided that the documents required under this clause (y) shall 

  
 115 








 
be required only with respect to any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary which generates gross revenues on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries in any Fiscal Year of greater than $25,000,000 (or
such higher amount as may be otherwise agreed to by the Collateral Agent); 
 (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the
Collateral Agent a landlord’s agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property or bailee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral with a value in excess
of $10,000,000 is stored or located, unless otherwise consented to by the Collateral Agent, which agreement or letter shall contain a customary waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims that the landlord or bailee may assert against the
Collateral at that location and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent; and 
 (f) deliver
to the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 7.10, which opinions shall be as reasonably required by, and in form and substance and from counsel
reasonably satisfactory to, the Collateral Agent. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (i) no
Loan Party shall be required to pledge the Stock or Stock Equivalents or other equity Securities of any Unrestricted Subsidiary and such Stock or Stock Equivalents or other equity Securities shall not constitute Collateral, and (ii) in no event
shall any Unrestricted Subsidiary be required to guaranty any Obligations or enter into any Loan Document. 
 Section 7.11
Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts and Cash Collateral Accounts. (a) Each Loan Party shall, unless otherwise consented to by the Collateral Agent and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided under Section 7.10 or
Section 7.13, deposit all of its cash and Cash Equivalents in deposit accounts that are Controlled Deposit Accounts or in securities accounts that are Controlled Securities Accounts; provided, however, that (i) each
Group Member may maintain zero-balance accounts that are not so controlled for the purpose of managing local disbursements and may maintain accounts that are not so controlled for: (A) payroll, (B) payroll taxes, (C) other employee
wage and benefit payments for the benefit of the Group Members’ salaried employees, and (D) withholding tax and other fiduciary accounts, and (ii) the foregoing requirements shall not apply to (x) cash and Cash Equivalents the
aggregate value of which does not exceed $5,000,000 and (y) cash and Cash Equivalents that are required under applicable foreign law (including to comply with (or is advisable to facilitate compliance with) any applicable foreign takeover
statutes) to be deposited by a Group Member in a non-controlled foreign bank account in connection with the consummation of a Permitted Acquisition or Designated Permitted Investment of any Person that is not a Domestic Person in advance of
completing such Permitted Acquisition or Designated Permitted Investment, provided that if after such cash or Cash Equivalents have been deposited, such Permitted Acquisition or Designated Permitted Investment is terminated or not otherwise
consummated for any reason, the applicable Group Member shall promptly re-transfer such cash to a Controlled Deposit Account or Controlled Securities Account otherwise in compliance with this Section 7.11. 

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any investment or income of any funds in any Cash
Collateral Account. From time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent may apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12.
No Group Member and no Person claiming on behalf of or 

  
 116 








 
through any Group Member shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of
all Obligations and, in the case of L/C Cash Collateral Accounts, the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

held in treasury) shall not exceed $35,000,000. So long as the covenant contained in the immediately preceding sentence is complied with (and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents), all Margin Stock at any time
owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Loan Document. If at any time the fair market value of all Margin Stock owned by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (other than Stock of the Borrower held in treasury) exceeds $35,000,000, then (x) all Margin Stock in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate in fair market value that is owned by the Loan Parties (other than Stock of the Borrower
held in treasury) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement and (y) the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Lenders appropriate completed forms (including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and

Section 7.15 Designation of Subsidiaries. (a) The Borrower may at any time after the Closing Date designate any
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a Pro
Forma Basis, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ended on or most recently prior to the date of the respective designation for which Financial Statements have been delivered hereunder, as if such designation had been made on the first day of
the four Fiscal Quarter period ended on the last day of such most recently ended Fiscal Quarter, with a Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio of no greater than 4.00:1.00, (iii) such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be capitalized (to the extent

time of such designation, it being understood that, without duplication, any assets owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of the initial designation thereof shall be treated as Investments pursuant to Sections 8.3(k) and/or

allocated between such Sections in a manner determined by the Borrower to the extent that any such Investment could otherwise be made in compliance with either such Section) and
valued at their fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower, and taking appropriate account of the liabilities of such Unrestricted Subsidiary) at the time of such designation, (iv) such Subsidiary shall have been designated
as an “unrestricted subsidiary” (to the extent applicable) for purposes of the Existing Notes Indentures, any Permitted Refinancing thereof or any Permitted Additional Debt, (v) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if such Subsidiary shall at any time own any Stock in, Indebtedness of, or have any Lien on any property of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, other than another Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) except to the extent
permitted by Section 8.1(p), any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary is not recourse to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or to any of their respective assets, and (vii) the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agents a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (vi) and demonstrating
(in reasonable detail) the calculations required to establish compliance with preceding clauses (ii) and (iii). 
 (b)
The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom, (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ended on or most recently prior to the date of the respective designation for which Financial Statements have been delivered
hereunder, as if such designation had been made on the first day of the four Fiscal Quarter period ended on the last day of such most recently ended Fiscal Quarter, with the financial covenant set forth in Article V, (iii) any
Indebtedness of the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Liens encumbering its property existing at the time of such designation shall be deemed newly incurred or created, as applicable, at such time, (iv) at the time of such designation,
such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be treated as a newly acquired or created Subsidiary for purposes of Sections 7.10 and 7.11 and the Borrower and the applicable Subsidiary shall comply with such Sections 7.10 and
7.11, as applicable, (v) at the time of such designation, the investment baskets under Sections 8.3(k) and/or (m) shall be replenished (but only to the extent that either such investment basket was utilized in making
an investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary) by an aggregate amount (without duplication) equal to the lesser of (x) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower, but taking appropriate account of the liabilities of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at such time (but, for this purpose, excluding the fair market value of the assets of any Subsidiary of such Unrestricted Subsidiary that is to remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary)
and (y) the aggregate amount of the Investments of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries theretofore made in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (including the amount by which either such investment basket was so utilized), and (vi) the Borrower

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been re-designated a Subsidiary may not be subsequently re-designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. 

(b) Each Lender further severally agrees to indemnify the Agents and each of their respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by
any Loan Party) from and against such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share with respect to the Facilities of the Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to
on or for the account of any Lender) that may be at any time (whether before or after payment of the Loans) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, the Transactions or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent or any of
its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED
PARTIES); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or, as the
case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or order. 

Section 10.9 Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer. (a) Either Administrative Agent may resign as Pro Rata Administrative
Agent or B Term Loan Administrative Agent, as applicable, at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders, such other Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such
date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective; provided that any resignation by the Pro Rata Administrative Agent as such shall also constitute a resignation by the Pro Rata Administrative Agent as Collateral Agent.
If the Pro Rata Administrative Agent or B Term Loan Administrative Agent delivers any such notice, (x) in the case of the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, the Required Pro Rata Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Pro Rata
Administrative Agent (and Collateral Agent) and (y) in the case of the B Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Required B Term Loan Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor B Term Loan Administrative Agent. If, within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent having given notice of resignation, no successor Pro Rata Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent) or B Term Loan Administrative Agent, as applicable, has been appointed by the Required Pro Rata Lenders or B Term Loan
Lenders, as applicable, and has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a B Term Loan Administrative Agent or Pro Rata Applicable Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Collateral
Agent), as applicable, from among the Lenders. If neither the Required Pro Rata Lenders nor the Required B Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, nor the B Term Loan Administrative Agent or Pro Rata Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, have
appointed a successor B Term Loan Administrative Agent or Pro Rata Applicable Administrative Agent (and it applicable, Collateral Agent), as applicable, (x) in the case of the resignation of the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, the Required Pro
Rata Lenders shall be deemed to have 

  
 139 








 
succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Pro Rata Administrative Agent (and if applicable, Collateral Agent) and (y) in the case of
the resignation of the B Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Required B Term Loan Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning B Term Loan Administrative Agent ;
provided that, in the case of a resignation of the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, until a successor Pro Rata Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Pro Rata Administrative Agent, any Collateral held by
the Pro Rata Administrative Agent in its role as Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any other Secured Party under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the resigning Pro Rata Administrative Agent as Collateral Agent as
nominee until such time as a successor Pro Rata Administrative Agent is appointed. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation as an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent hereunder. Any successor Pro Rata Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of
Default. 
 (b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such retiring Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall
no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as an Agent under the Loan Documents
and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 10.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon
its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders,
resign as an L/C Issuer; provided that, on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer willing to accept
its appointment as successor L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided
that, no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the L/C Issuer. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such
(other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date
of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 

  
 140 








 Section 10.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and L/C Issuer
hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Agents to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following: 

(a) any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Loan Party if either (x) all of the Securities of such
Subsidiary owned by any Group Member are Sold in a Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any
Obligations pursuant to Section 7.10 or (y) such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and 

(b) any Lien held by the Collateral Agent or any other Agent for the benefit of any of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral
that is Sold by a Loan Party in a Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 7.10 after giving effect to
such Sale have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.2(d) or (e), (iii) any Collateral owned by a Guarantor that is released from its guaranty as provided in
Section 10.10(a) and (iv) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of the Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations
that the either Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable by the holder of such Obligation, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) (or, in the case of any L/C Obligation, a back-up letter of credit has been issued), in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to the Administrative Agents and each
Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations and (D) to the extent requested by any Agent, receipt by the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Loan Parties, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agents. 

Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs the Agents, and the Agents hereby agree, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and
deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10. 

Section 10.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the
Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Agents and all other Secured Parties,
that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by any Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Agents) this Article X, Section 11.8 , Section 11.9 and
Section 11.20 and the decisions and actions of the Agents and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, a greater or other proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is
bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the
Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Pro Rata Share or similar concept, (b) except as set forth specifically herein, each of
the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived
of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as set forth specifically herein, such
Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document. 

  
 141 








 Section 10.12 Titles. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, no party hereto designated as a documentation agent, a syndication agent, an arranger or a bookrunner shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any fiduciary
duty to any Lender, L/C Issuer or any other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any such documentation agent,
syndication agent, arranger or bookrunner, in such capacity. 
 Section 10.13 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required
by any applicable law, either Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 2.17(e), if the Internal Revenue
Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that such Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Taxes 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 such Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Taxes ineffective or for any other reason, or if such Administrative Agent
reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Taxes from such payment, such Lender shall severally indemnify such Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid,
directly or indirectly, by such Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

addition to any signature otherwise required. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Treasury Services Agreements

Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 

  
 144 








 (c) In addition, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent
of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agents and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest

Agent shall be required to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or to extend an existing Lien over additional property. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agents and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole
and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, defect or manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agents and the
Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within 5
Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agents have no obligation to agree to any such amendment). 

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. 

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agents, each Lender and each L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, the Borrower (except for Article X), the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agents, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as
expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 10.9), none of the Borrower, any L/C Issuer, the Collateral Agent or any Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein. 
 (b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.2(b), participations in L/C 

  
 145 








 
Obligations and in Swing Loans) at the time owing to it) to (each an “Eligible Assignee”): (i) any existing Lender; provided that no such sale, transfer, negotiation
or assignment may be made to any such Person that is, to the knowledge of such assigning Lender, a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender; provided that no such sale, transfer, negotiation or
assignment may be made to any such Person that is a natural person or, to the knowledge of such assigning Lender, a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) any other Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except as
provided in Section 2.21) with the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of (x) the Applicable Administrative Agent, and (y) in the case of any sale, transfer, negotiation or
assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Obligations) only, (I) the Swingline Lender, (II) each L/C Issuer, and (III) as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower; provided, however, that (A) the
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof,
(B) such sales, transfers, negotiations or assignments do not have to be ratable between the Facilities but must be ratable among the Obligations owing to and the obligations owed by such Lender with respect to a Facility and (C) for each
Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment or other sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such sale,
transfer, negotiation or assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 in the case of a sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment of Term Loans and $5,000,000 in the case of a sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment of Revolving Loans and
Revolving Credit Commitments, unless such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds)
entire interest in such Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent. Assignments shall not be required to be pro rata among the Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary set forth herein, to the extent any Lender is required to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder in order to comply with applicable laws, such assignment may be made by such Lender
without the consent of the Borrower, any Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any other party hereto so long as such Lender complies with the requirements of Sections 11.2(b) and (c). 

(c) Procedure. The parties to each sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment made in reliance on clause (b) above (other
than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment , which shall include, inter alia, a representation by the assignee that it is an Eligible
Assignee, evidencing such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment, together with any existing Note subject to such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Applicable Administrative Agent), any
tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(h), an administrative questionnaire or such Applicable Administrative Agent’s customary form and payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent of an assignment fee in the
amount of $3,500 (unless waived by the Applicable Administrative Agent, but for which no Group Member shall have any liability in any event), provided that (1) if a sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment by a Lender is made to
an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment, (2) if a sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment by a Lender is made to an
assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in


  
 146 








 
connection with such sale, transfer, negotiation or assignment and (3) no assignment fee shall be payable for assignments to and from any of the Arrangers or any of their respective
Affiliates. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iii), upon the Applicable Administrative Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable)
consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the applicable Register the information contained in such Assignment. The
entries in the applicable Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the applicable Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Each Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to itself), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the applicable Administrative Agent in
the applicable Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to
such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under
this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan
Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article X, Section 11.8 and Section 11.9 to the extent provided in Section 10.11). 

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a
security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank
(pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agents or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agents;
provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be
entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 
 (f)
Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agents, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such
Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such
Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agents or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its 

  
 147 








 
Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.2(f), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Loans)); provided, however, that, whether as a
result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable
option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan
Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the
benefits of such Lender under Sections 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(h) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.17(h) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) but only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation (without duplication of any amount paid to
such Lender pursuant to the indemnification provisions under Section 2.17) and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided
in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agents by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above)
shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or
consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations);
provided that any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, further, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (iv) and clause (vii) of the first proviso to Section 11.1 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender. No party hereto
shall institute (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding prior to
the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any
Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall
survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant or SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s or SPV’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of
this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the 

  
 148 








 
contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person, except that the portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant or SPV requesting payment from
the Borrower or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 11.8 shall be available for inspection by the Borrower upon reasonable request to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or as is otherwise required thereunder. 

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if
required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as
expressly provided therein. In addition (but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the Engagement Letter), the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) each of the Agents and each Arranger and any Related Person of
any of the foregoing for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Persons or any of their Related Persons in connection with (i) the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution,
interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any engagement or proposal letter therefor (including the Engagement Letter), any other document prepared in connection therewith or the
consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case limited in the case of fees, charges and disbursements of consultants
and counsel, to the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single external legal counsel for all such Persons and any of their Related Persons taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single regulatory counsel and a single local
counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such Persons and any of their Related Persons and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as reasonably determined by the affected Person or Persons, one additional counsel
(including one additional regulatory and local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to each Person or group of affected Persons similarly situated taken as a whole (but excluding, in each case, any costs or expenses of internal legal counsel),
(ii) reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks®, SyndTrak Online, ClearPar® or any other E-System
and allocated to the Facilities by each Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (iii) reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of
them or any of their Related Persons, (b) each Agent and each L/C Issuer for all reasonable costs and expenses (excluding any costs or expenses of internal counsel) incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the L/C
Back-Stop Arrangements entered into by such Persons, (c) each Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses (excluding any costs or expenses of internal counsel) incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit
reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by each Agent for its examiners) and (d) each
of the Agents, their respective Related Persons, and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a
“work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of,
intervention in, or the taking of any other action 

  
 149 








 
with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation or Transaction (or the response to and preparation for
any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of counsel (excluding any costs or expenses of internal counsel). 

Section 11.4 Indemnities. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 with respect to the limitations on
reimbursement of costs and expenses described therein, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Secured Hedging Counterparty, each Secured Treasury Services Creditor,
each Person that each L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions,
fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Disclosure Document, any
Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, any Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member and/or
Unrestricted Subsidiary, (ii) any engagement letter (including the Engagement Letter), proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case
entered into by or on behalf of any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any
actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including reasonable attorneys’ fees in any case, but
excluding any costs and expenses of internal counsel), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of
Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified
Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect
to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment or order; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, the Swingline Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). Furthermore, the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any
right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. 
 (b)
Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to
property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether
or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the 

  
 150 








 
successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such
Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such
Indemnitee. 
 Section 11.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant
to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Article X , Section 11.3 and Section 11.4), this Section 11.5, Section 11.13,
Section 11.14, Section 11.15 or Section 11.20 and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations
and (B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns. 

Section 11.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. In no event shall the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any
Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings), except, in the case of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, to the
extent that any such damages consist of or arise from claims against any Indemnitee by unaffiliated third parties. The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon
any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 

Section 11.7 Lender-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agents, on the one
hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture
relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents
(including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in
connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Arranger, Agent or Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Arranger, Agent or Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders
or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Arranger, Agent and Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or
fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Arrangers, Agent or Lender has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

  
 151 








 Section 11.8 Right of Setoff. Each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and
each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default
and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations
at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was
made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and each other Agent after any such setoff and
application made by such Agent, Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 11.8 are in
addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have. 

Section 11.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. (a) If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof,
obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of
Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 2.21 and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the
applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess
payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the applicable Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the
Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Section 11.9(a) shall be subject to
the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. 

Section 11.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in
favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any
enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or such Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (v) to the extent disclosure is required by
applicable Requirements of Law, any pending legal, judicial, regulatory or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by any other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority (or self-regulatory authority) (in which
case such Lender, Swingline Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by auditors or any regulatory authority (including self-regulatory authority) exercising examination

or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to such disclosure), (vi) to the extent such information is
received by such Lender, Swingline Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of its respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such Lender’s, Swingline Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Agent’s or any of its respective
Affiliates’ knowledge, subject to contractual confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower, (vii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Lender, Swingline Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of its
