purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrower have been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(1) or (2), as applicable.

Specified Transactions (and, subject to clause (4) below, the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (a) during the applicable Test Period or (b) subsequent to such Test Period
and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and the
component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the
beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified
Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.07, then such financial ratio or test (or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this

taken no later than six fiscal quarters after the date of any such Specified Transaction (calculated on a pro forma basis 

  
 85 













 
as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies
were realized during the entirety of such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are
expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and
any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified
Transaction; provided that (a) such amounts are (i) reasonably identifiable and projected in the good faith judgment of the Borrower to result from such actions and (ii) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with
respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than six fiscal quarters after the date of such Specified Transaction, (b) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are
otherwise added back in computing Adjusted EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period; provided that the foregoing cap shall not apply to adjustments made
in accordance with Regulation S-X; provided, further, that amounts added back pursuant to this clause (3), when combined with adjustments pursuant
to clauses (l) and (n) of the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” and clause
(1) of the definition of “Consolidated Net Income”all other Combined Adjustment Amounts for such period, shall not exceed 22.5% of Adjusted EBITDA for such period calculated
prior to giving effect to all such add-backs and adjustments, and being calculated on a pro forma basis. 
 (4) In the event that
(a) the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid
under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), (b) the Borrower or any Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (c) any Subsidiary issues,
repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock or (d) the Borrower or any Subsidiary establishes or eliminates any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the
applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving
pro forma effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimination of any Designated Revolving Commitments, in
each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence,
issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimination of any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case will be given effect, as if the
same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period) and, in the case of Indebtedness for all purposes as if such Indebtedness in the full amount of any undrawn Designated Revolving Commitments had been incurred thereunder throughout
such period in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period. 
 (5) If any
Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage
Ratio and/or Total Net Leverage Ratio, is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to
accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at
an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the
Borrower or applicable Subsidiary may designate. 

  
 86 













 (6) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07 or in any
classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated. 

(7) Any determination of Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended for which financial
statements of the Borrower have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(1) or (2), as applicable, on or prior to the relevant date of determination. 

(8) [Reserved]. 
 (9)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than with respect to dividends or distributions that constitute Restricted Payments permitted hereunder, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in
reliance on a covenant of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including pro forma compliance with any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any other financial ratio
or test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement in the same covenant that requires
compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) be disregarded in the calculation of the
financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence with respect to the same covenant. 

Section 1.08 Available Amount Transaction. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of
which is determined hereunder by reference to 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, i.e., each transaction must constitute a permitted use of the Available Amount. 

Section 1.09 LIBOR Discontinuation. If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Borrower determines (which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.03 have not
arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable LIBOR Rate shall no
longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the appropriate LIBOR Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing
market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this
Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 10.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date
notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Dollars for purposes of compliance with any Basket. For purposes of determining compliance with any Basket under Article VII or VIII with respect to any amount expressed in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to
have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Basket utilization occurs or other Basket measurement is made (so long as such Basket utilization or other measurement, at the time incurred,
made or acquired, was permitted hereunder). Except with respect to any ratio calculated under any Basket, any subsequent change in rates of currency exchange with respect to any prior utilization or other measurement of a Basket previously made in
reliance on such Basket (as the same may have been reallocated in accordance with this Agreement) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining any unutilized portion under such Basket. 

(2) For purposes of determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and/or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the amount of Indebtedness and cash and
Cash Equivalents shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Obligations permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of
determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness. 
 (3) For purposes of determining compliance under any Basket under Article
VII or VIII, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating net income in the Borrower’s annual financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(1); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to apply to the determination of any amount of Indebtedness. For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness,
the Dollar equivalent of the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency being incurred shall be calculated based on the exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first
committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement,
refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or
defeasance, such restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed
or defeased.

 Section 1.11 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection
with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a
different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of
its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time. 
 ARTICLE II 

The Commitments and Borrowings 

Section 2.01 The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, each Term Lender
severally agrees to make to the Borrower on the Closing Date one or more Closing Date Term Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Closing Date Term Commitment on the Closing Date. Amounts
borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Closing Date Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as further provided herein. No Term Lender will fund any portion of the Term Loans with
“plan assets” (within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation located at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA). 

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(1) Each Term Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made upon
the Borrower’s irrevocable notice, on behalf of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent (provided that the notice in respect of the initial Term Borrowing on the Closing Date, or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other
transaction permitted under this Agreement, may be conditioned on the consummation of the Closing Date Refinancing or closing of such Permitted Acquisition or other transaction, as applicable). Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) one
(1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (a) above may be delivered one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of
the Closing Date Term Loans. Each notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(1) must be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Except as provided in Sections 2.15
andSection 2.16, each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in
Sections 2.15 andSection 2.16, each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify: 

(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other or a
continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans, 
 (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), 
 (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, 

 

  
 89 













 (iv) [reserved], 

(v) the Class and Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans are to be converted, 

(vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and 

(vii) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed. 

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan to be made in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as LIBOR Rate
Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as the same Type of Loan, which if a LIBOR Rate Loan,
shall have a one-month Interest Period. Any such automatic continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. 

(2) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata
Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details
of any automatic continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or continuation of Loans described in Section 2.02(1). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent by
wire transfer in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account not later than, in the case of Borrowing on the Closing Date, 10:00 a.m., New York time, and otherwise 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 for the Borrowing on the Closing Date, and upon receipt of all requested funds, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so
received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent. 
 (3) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent at
the direction of the Required Lenders under the applicable Facility may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as LIBOR Rate
Loans. (unless
such Event of Default is an Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6), in which case any LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period then in effect at the time of
the occurrence of such Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6)). 

(4) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
LIBOR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

  
 90 













 (5) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type
to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 6 Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the
establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, an Extension Amendment or an amendment in respect of Replacement Loans, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this
Section 2.02(5) shall increase by three (3) Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established. 
 (6) The
failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 (7) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loan, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
paragraph (2) above, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so
made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount 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 Administrative Agent at (a) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (b) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(7) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall
both pay all or any portion of the principal amount in respect of such Borrowing or interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
Borrowing or interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any
payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.03 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.04 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.05 Prepayments. 

(1) Optional. 
 (a) The
Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans in whole or in part, with any applicable Prepayment Premium as provided in
Section 2.18; provided that 

  
 91 













 (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
3:00 p.m., New York time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; 

(ii) any partial prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and 
 (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. 

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. If such notice is given,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case
of a LIBOR Rate Loan, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(1), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or
Borrowings (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.

 (b) [Reserved]. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(1)(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the
applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 
 (d) Each prepayment in respect of any Term
Loans (other than with respect to Extended Loans) pursuant to this Section 2.05(1) may be applied to any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder shall be
applied in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment; provided that the Borrower may prepay Term Loans of any Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.05 without any
requirement to prepay Extended Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Term Loan Class. Subject to Section 2.16(3), in the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled
installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro rata basis among
Term Loan Classes. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or shall occur as a result thereof, (y) no offer pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) is made on a non-pro rata basis and no fees, consideration or other economics are offered or given on a non-pro rata basis in connection
with any transaction pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) and (z) no proceeds of ABL Loans are used for this purpose, any Borrower Party may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which Term Loans shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be
automatically and 

  
 92 













 
permanently canceled immediately upon such purchase or prepayment) without premium or penalty on the following basis: 

(A) Any Borrower Party shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower
Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in each case
made in accordance with this Section 2.05(1)(e) and without premium or penalty. 
 (B) (1) 
(1) any Borrower Party may from time to
time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as agreed by the Auction Agent) in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice;
provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the applicable Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class
basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such
offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with
respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(1)(e)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an
aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each
Appropriate Lender and the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent) with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and
returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment
Response Date”). 
 (2) Each Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its
delegate) (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then
outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each
acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment
Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment. 

  
 93 













 (3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the
relevant Borrower Party will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in
such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders
exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment
Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’
responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not
the Auction Agent) and each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts
stated in the foregoing notices to the applicable Borrower Party and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower Party shall be due
and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below). 

(C) 1. (1) Any Borrower Party may from time to time solicit
Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as agreed by the Auction Agent) in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that
(I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice
shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to
par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by such Borrower Party (it being understood that different Discount Ranges or Discount
Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(1)(e)(C)), (III) the Discount
Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) unless rescinded, each such solicitation by the applicable Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through
the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender and the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent) with a copy of


  
 94 













 
such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00
p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable
and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the
maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is
not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range. 

(2)
 (1) The Auction Agent shall review all
Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The relevant Borrower Party agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all
Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to
par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable
Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a
Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any
required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”). 

(3)
 (2) If there is at least one Participating
Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant
Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction


  
 95 













 
Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five
(5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable
Discount, the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount and the aggregate principal amount and Classes
of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date and (IV) if applicable, each
Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes
absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below
(subject to subsection (J) below). 
 (D)
(1) 
(1) Any Borrower Party may from time to
time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice (or such later notice specified therein); provided that
(I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall
specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the applicable Borrower Party is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that
different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.05(1)(e)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (IV) unless rescinded, each such solicitation by the
applicable Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender and the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not
the Auction Agent) with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York
time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be
irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and
the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not
received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount. 

  
 96 













 (2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Borrower Party
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent) with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Such
Borrower Party shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the
applicable Borrower Party (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the applicable Borrower Party elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable
Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Borrower Party from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection
(2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the applicable Borrower Party shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the
Auction Agent) setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the applicable Borrower Party by the Acceptance Date, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected all
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers. 
 (3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”),
the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the consent of such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans
(the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Borrower Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.05(1)(e)(D). If the applicable Borrower Party elects to accept any Acceptable
Discount, then such Borrower Party agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered
Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably
consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The applicable
Borrower Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the
Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the 

  
 97 













 
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable
Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation
with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment
Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be
prepaid, (II) the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent) and each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term
Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and
(IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection
(F) below (subject to subsection (J) below). 
 (E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment,
the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require, as a condition to the applicable Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from a Borrower Party to such Auction
Agent for its own account in connection therewith. 
 (F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections
(B) through (D) above, a Borrower Party shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The relevant Borrower Party shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the relevant Class(es) and Lenders as specified by the applicable Borrower Party in the applicable offer. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid
interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(1)(e) shall be paid to the Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable share as calculated by the Auction Agent in
accordance with this Section 2.05(1)(e). The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes
of Term Loans prepaid on the 

  
 98 













 
Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(1)(e), the relevant Borrower Party shall
make a representation to the assigning or assignee Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed
to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made. 

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to
procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.05(1)(e), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the applicable Borrower Party. 

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.05(1)(e), each
notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of
such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next succeeding Business Day. 

(I) Each of the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of
its duties under this Section 2.05(1)(e) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties
by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this
Section 2.05(1)(e) as well as activities of the Auction Agent. 
 (J) Each Borrower Party shall have the right,
by written notice to the Auction Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (to the extent the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent), to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind
the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date,
Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower Party to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant
to this Section 2.05(1)(e) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise). 

(K) The Administrative Agent (i) shall not be required to serve as the Auction Agent or have any other obligations to
participate in (other than mechanical administrative duties), or facilitate any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless it is reasonably satisfied with the terms and restrictions thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to serve as Auction Agent whether or not it is satisfied with the terms and restrictions thereof) and (ii) shall not have any obligation to participate in, arrange, sell or otherwise facilitate, and will have no liability in
connection with, any open market repurchases by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Administrative Agent agrees to serve as Auction Agent, all provisions of Article IX and Sections 8.03, 10.04, and
10.05 herein shall inure to the benefit of the Auction Agent and shall be binding upon all Loan Parties and all Secured Parties in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as if all references herein and therein to
“Administrative Agent” were to “Auction Agent”.

 (i) Term Loans made pursuant to Sections 2.05(1)(a) and 2.05(1)(e) but only to the extent repaid and/or
cancelled (in an amount, in each case, in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(1)(e) equal to the discounted amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans and only to the extent, in each case,

corresponding ABL Commitments or other revolving commitments) (in each case, including to the extent prepaid pursuant to an After Year-End Payment), 

in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), made during such fiscal
year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be repaid pursuant to this Section 2.05(2)(a) for any prior fiscal year) or in connection with an After Year-End
Payment, and in each case to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Funded Debt (other than borrowings under the ABL Facility), any proceeds from any ABL Cure Amount or any Cure Amount; 

provided that the ECF Percentage for any fiscal year shall be (i) 50% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such
fiscal year was less than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) 25% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year was less than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00; 

  
 100 













 (and it being understood that following the making of any After Year-End Payment,
(i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be recalculated giving pro forma effect to such After Year-End Payment as if such payment were made during the fiscal year of the applicable ECF Payment and the ECF Percentage for purposes of
making such ECF Payment shall be determined by reference to the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio after giving effect to such recalculation and (ii) if such After Year-End Payment is taken into account for such calculation, the After Year-End
Payment shall not be applied to the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the ECF Percentage for any subsequent ECF
Payment);.
 
 provided,
further, that: 
 (A) if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower (or any Subsidiary) is required to discharge Other Applicable Indebtedness with Other Applicable
ECF pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness, then the Borrower (or any Subsidiary) may apply such Excess Cash Flow on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness requiring such discharge at such time) but not on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to the then outstanding Term Loans; 

(B) the portion of such Excess Cash Flow
allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Other Applicable ECF required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Excess
Cash Flow shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; and 

(C) to the extent the lenders or holders of
Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repurchased or prepaid with such portion of Excess Cash Flow, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection)
be applied to prepay the Term Loans to the extent required in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05(2)(a). 

(b) (i) If (x) the Borrower or any Subsidiary makes an Asset Sale or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the

such portion of such Net Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest (or entered into a binding commitment to reinvest) in accordance with
Section 2.05(2)(b)(ii); provided, further,
that:. 

(A) if at the time that any such prepayment
would be required, the Borrower (or any Subsidiary) is required to discharge any Other Applicable Indebtedness with Other Applicable Net Proceeds pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness, then the Borrower (or any
Subsidiary) may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness requiring such discharge at such time); 

  
 101 














(B) the portion of such Net Proceeds
allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Other Applicable Net Proceeds
required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Proceeds shall be
allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; and 

(C) to the extent the holders of Other
Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repurchased or prepaid with such portion of such Net Proceeds, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be

Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest (or entered into a binding commitment to reinvest) in accordance with Section
2.05(2)(b)(ii). 
 (ii) Subject to the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any Net Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Asset Sale or any Casualty Event, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at its option, may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in the business
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including, Permitted Acquisitions (and similar Investments) and capital expenditures) within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or any Subsidiary
enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (A) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (B) one hundred-eighty
(180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that if any Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to
clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 2.05(2), an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Proceeds are no
longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05. 
 (c)
Within five Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower of the net proceeds in respect of a Cure Amount, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the Cure Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other
amounts due in respect of the Term Loans. 
 (d) If the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness (A) not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or (B) that constitutes Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness or Refinancing Loans, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class or Classes (in each case, as
directed by the Borrower) equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds. 

(e) Except as otherwise set forth in any Refinancing
Amendment or Extension Amendment, 
 (i) each prepayment of
Term Loans required by Sections 2.05(2)(a) through (d) shall be applied to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) with any other
Term Loans (in each case, other than pursuant to a refinancing); 
  

  
 102 













 (ii) with respect to each Class of Loans, each prepayment pursuant to
clauses (a) through (d) of Section 2.05(2) shall be applied to remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof following the date of prepayment in direct order of maturity; and 

(iii) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such prepayment;

 provided that with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under this clause (e) between a Class of existing Loans and a Class
of Extended Loans, to the extent that the Borrower may allocate between such classes, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject always to the limitation that the Borrower may not allocate to such Extended Loans
any such mandatory prepayment (other than in the case of a refinancing of Extended Loans) unless such prepayment under this clause (e) is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled
installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Class, if any, from which such Extended Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of such existing Class have otherwise been repaid in full). 

(f) [Reserved]. 
 (g) The Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.05(2) by 3:00 p.m. at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such
notice shall specify the date of such prepayment, the subsection of this Agreement pursuant to which such prepayment is being made and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment or other applicable share provided for under this
Agreement. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share, or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans
required to be made pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.05(2) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 3:00
p.m., New York time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such
Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be
deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be offered to all Lenders which have not declined proceeds of the applicable prepayment event (on a pro rata basis as
among such non-declining Lenders) and, to the extent that any such non-declining Lender does not accept such offer by 3:00 p.m., New York time, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, such remaining Declined Proceeds
shall be retained by the Borrower and shall increase the Available Amount pursuant to clause (6) of the definition thereof or may be otherwise applied as set forth herein. 

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(2), (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any
Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(2)(b) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”), the Net Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty
Event”), or all or a portion of Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or Canada, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required
to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(2) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign 

  
 103 













 
Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States or Canada (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the
applicable local law such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied
(net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(2) to the extent otherwise provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has
determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all or the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit
actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. 

(i) Interest, Funding Losses, etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest
thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. 

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of
any such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to
the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other
Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any
further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall be deemed to
be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement. 
 Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. 
 (1) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the
unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that: 

(a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. New York time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, and 
 (b) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof. 
 (2) Mandatory. The Closing Date Term Commitment of each Term
Lender on the Closing Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Closing Date Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01. 

  
 104 













 (3) Application of Commitment Reductions. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of
any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination
of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). 
 Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans. 

The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the last Business Day of each fiscal
quarter (with each such fiscal quarter end being set forth on Schedule 1.01(3)) until the Maturity Date, commencing with the last Business Day of the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, in equal quarterly installments, an amount
equal to the following: 
 (a) for each of the first four full fiscal quarters following the Closing Date, 0.75% of the aggregate principal
amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), 

(b) for each of the eight full fiscal quarters occurring thereafter, an aggregate principal amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal
amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), 

(c) for each fiscal quarter occurring thereafter, an aggregate principal amount equal to 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount of all
Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05) and 

(d) on the Maturity Date for the Closing Date Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Closing Date Term Loans outstanding on such
date. 
 Section 2.08 Interest. 

(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(2), (a) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate, for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Rate and (b) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (2) During the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on all
principal
dueand all
other amounts outstanding hereunder at the direction (which direction may be provided retroactively to the extent not applied following the occurrence of such Event of Default so long as such
Event of Default is continuing) of the Required Lenders (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6), in which case the Default Rate shall automatically accrue upon the
occurrence of such Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6)), the Borrower shall pay interest on all amounts due
hereunder, in each case at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no interest at
the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

  
 105 













 (3) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law. 
 (4) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest for any fee
to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day, 365-day or 366-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent to the rate so used multiplied by the actual
number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. 
 (5) In no event shall the aggregate
“interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable (whether by way of payment, collection or demand) by any Canadian Loan
Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan
Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the
provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by the mutual mistake of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and such Canadian Loan Party, with such “interest” deemed to have been adjusted
with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the Criminal Code Section, to result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of interest at a rate not in
contravention of the Criminal Code Section, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows by the Administrative Agent: firstly, by reducing the amounts or rates of interest required to be paid to the Lenders; and then, by
reducing any fees, charges, commissions, premiums, expenses and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute “interest” under the Criminal Code Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to
all such adjustments, if the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code Section, then the applicable Canadian Loan Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the
Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Administrative Agent (but solely limited to the funds received from Lenders) and the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess. 

(6) Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that would oblige any Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of
interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovable that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not
apply to such Canadian Loan Party, who shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears. 

Section 2.09 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the
amounts and at the times so specified (including the fees due and owing to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter). Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed in writing between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 

  
 106 













 Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for
Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it
is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(1), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(1) The Term Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by
one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations, as applicable, as
non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Term
Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(2) [Reserved]. 
 (3) Entries made
in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(1), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(1), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error;
provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.12 Payments Generally. 

(1) All payments hereunder to be made by the Borrower shall be made in Dollars without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, by wire transfer to the
Administrative Agent’s Account for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in 

  
 107 













 
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, may, in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day (but the Administrative Agent may extend such deadline for purposes of computing interest and fees (but not beyond the end of such day) in its sole discretion
whether or not such payments are in process). 
 (2) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(3) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, in writing prior to the date, or in the case of any Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such Borrowing, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (in the case of the Borrower, for the account of any Lender hereunder or, in the case
of the Lenders, for the account of the Borrower hereunder), that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made
such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day
Funds, then: 
 (a) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the
portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and 

(b) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same
Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation
Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding
the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount, or cause such amount to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.12(3) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (4) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent
funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Term Borrowing set forth in
Section 4.01 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

  
 108 













 (5) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan. 
 (6) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(7) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in
full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03 (or otherwise expressly set forth herein). If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or
in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of
the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the
outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 
 Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. Other than as expressly
provided elsewhere herein (including with respect to any discounted prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(2)(e) or 2.05(2)(g)), if any Lender of any Class shall obtain payment or any other form of consideration in
respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans of such Class made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated
hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (1) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact in writing, and (2) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans of such Class made by them, as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal of or interest on such Loans of such Class, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered
from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each
other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such paying Lender’s required
repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of
doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the
application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted
hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to
Section 10.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding
in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this
Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent
as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

 Section 2.14 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.15 Refinancing
Amendments[Reserved]. 

(1) Refinancing Loans. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Guarantor may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Loans or
Refinancing Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. 

(2) Refinancing Amendments. The effectiveness of any Refinancing
Amendment will be subject only to the satisfaction on the date thereof of such conditions precedent as may be requested by the providers of the applicable Refinancing Loans; provided that upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment,
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or result therefrom. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Refinancing Amendments may, without the consent of any
other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15 and to reflect the existence and terms of the
Refinancing Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans). A Refinancing Amendment may (a) extend or add “call protection” to any existing Class
of Term Loans, including by amendments to Section 2.18, (b) amend the schedule of amortization payments relating to any existing tranche of Term Loans, including by amendments to Section 2.07(1)
(provided that any such amendment shall not decrease the dollar amount of any amortization payment to any Lender that would have otherwise been payable
to such Lender prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Refinancing Amendment), (c) provide that the lenders providing such Refinancing Loans may participate ratably in any voluntary prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.05(2) and (d) to the
extent the Borrower requests to make such Refinancing Loans part of another Class of Term Loan then existing, make other amendments to the terms of any
existing Term Loans, in the case of each clause
(a), (b), (c) and (d), so that such Refinancing Term Loans and the applicable existing Term Loans form the same Class of Term Loans; provided that such amendments are not adverse to the
applicable existing Term Loan Lenders (as determined in good faith by the Borrower). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will
be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Loans. 

(3) Required Consents. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the
consent of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Persons providing the applicable Refinancing Loans, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 supersedes any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
(including
Section 10.01). 
 (4)
Providers of Refinancing Loans. Refinancing
Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no exiting Lender shall have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Refinancing Loan) or by any Additional Lender on terms permitted by this Section 2.15; provided, that the Borrower shall offer
each existing Lender an opportunity to participate in such Refinancing Loans on 

  
 110 













 
a pro rata basis; provided, further, that, other than with respect to existing Lenders, the Administrative
Agent shall have consented (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any such Person’s providing Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b)(iii) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments
to such Person. 
 Section 2.16 Extensions of Loans. 

(1) Extension Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the
Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date, the Borrower may extend such Maturity Date and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms set forth in an
Extension Offer (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Loans or Commitments so extended, as well as any Loans of the same Class not so extended, each being a separate “tranche” for purposes of this
Section 2.16). Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of Loans or Commitments with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and an aggregate principal amount that
is not less than $5,000,000, or if less, (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding or (b) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Extension Offers will be made on a pro rata basis to all Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans (calculated on the face
amount thereof) or Commitments in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments offered to be extended pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or Commitments
of such Lenders will 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 Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement
that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment (defined as follows) be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions or any financial ratio tests. The terms of an Extension Offer shall be determined by the Borrower, and
Extension Offers may contain one or more conditions to their effectiveness, including a condition that a minimum amount of Loans or Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.;
provided that, to the extent the terms and conditions of any
Extension Offer include the Loans that are the subject of such Extension Offer being extended in an aggregate
principal amount that constitutes a discount to the par value thereof, the amount of Indebtedness able to be incurred under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such discount.

 (2) Extension Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, establish new tranches in respect of Extended Loans and
Extended Commitments and such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments. An Extension
Amendment may (a) extend or add “call protection” to any existing Class of Term Loans, including by amendments to Section 2.18, (b) amend the schedule of amortization payments relating to any existing tranche of Term
Loans, including by amendments to Section 2.07(1) (provided that any such amendment shall not decrease the dollar amount of any amortization payment to any Lender that would have otherwise been payable to such Lender prior to the
effectiveness of the applicable Extension Amendment) and (c) to the extent the Borrower Request to make such Extended Loans part of another Class of Term Loans then existing, make other amendments to the terms of any such existing Term Loans,
in the case of each clause (a), (b) and (c), so that such Extended Loans and the applicable existing Term Loans form the same Class of Term Loans; provided that such amendments are not adverse to the


  
 111 













 
existing Term Loan Lenders (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and no Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6) shall have occurred and be
continuing or result therefrom. This Section 2.16 supersedes any provision(s) in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. Except (1) as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the
effectiveness of an Extension Amendment and (2) upon the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment, no Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(1) or Section 8.01(6) shall have occurred and be continuing. Extensions will
not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. Any Lender of an existing Class of Term Loans that elects not to participate in Extended Loans or Extended Commitments of such Class of Term Loans shall be
referred to herein as a “Non-Extended Lender”. 
 (3) Terms of Extension Offers and Extension Amendments. The terms
of any Extended Loans and Extended Commitments will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; provided that: 

(a)
 the aggregate principal amount of Extended Loans or Extended
Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Loans or Commitments that are the subject of such Extension Offer, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and fees and expenses incurred in connection
with such Extension Offer; 

(b)
 (a) the final maturity date of such Extended Loans and
Extended Commitments will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Loans or Commitments subject to such Extension Offer; 

(c)
 (b) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any
Extended Loans that are Term Loans will be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer; 

(d)
 (c) any Extended Loans that are 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 mandatory repayments or prepayments of the Term Loans (in each case, other than pursuant to a refinancing) and may participate on a pro rata
basis or less than pro rata basis (but not greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans; 
 (e) (d) such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments are not secured by any assets or property that does not
constitute Collateral and may not be secured on a senior basis to the existing Term Loans; 
 (f) (e) such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments are not guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other
than a Subsidiary Loan Party; and 

(g)
 (f) the covenants and events of default applicable to Extended Loans or Extended Commitments are
substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Lenders providing such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments than, those applicable to the Loans or Commitments subject to such Extension Offer, as determined in good faith
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in its reasonable judgment; provided that this clause (fg) will not apply: 

(A) if an Extension Offer is made with respect to all the Loans or Commitments of a particular Class and all such Loans or
Commitments are accepted in such Extension Offer and amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment or 

  
 112 













 (B) to any of the following: 

 

	 	(1)	 terms addressed in the preceding clauses (a) through
(ef), 



 

	 	(2)	 interest rate, fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, 



 

	 	(3)	 redemption, prepayment or other premiums, and 



 

	 	(4)	 covenants and events of default applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of
incurrence of such Indebtedness. 


 Any Extended Loans will constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the Term Loans held by
Lenders that did not accept the applicable Extension Offer. 
 (4) Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person
will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or condition), the Borrower and the applicable Extending Lender. The transactions contemplated by
this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) will not require the consent of any
other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16 will not apply
to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.16. 
 Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. 

(1) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 
 (a) Waivers and
Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove of any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01. 

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment
of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit
account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender, against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to
that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such 

  
 113 













 payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders
on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. 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 2.17(1)(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(2) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting
Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will,
to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 114 













 Section 2.18 Call Protection. In the event that all or any portion of the
Closing Date Term Loans are repaid, prepaid or accelerated for any reason, including as a result of any mandatory prepayments, voluntary prepayments, payments made following acceleration of the Loans or after an Event of Default (other than
mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(2)(a) or (c) or amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.07) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders holding such Closing
Date Term Loans as an inducement for making the Closing Date Term Loans (and not as a penalty) an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, which Prepayment Premium shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such payment or prepayment,
or on the date such payment or prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and non-refundable when made; provided, that no Prepayment Premium shall be payable with respect to the first $50,000,000 of prepayments of Closing Date Term
Loans that occur in connection with a Qualifying IPO. If the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency
event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the
date of such acceleration or such other prior due date, as if such acceleration or other occurrence were a voluntary prepayment of the Loans accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood
and agreed that if the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of
claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Loans will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date as though the Loans were voluntarily
prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s
lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early prepayment and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently
existing. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented
by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration
in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. 

ARTICLE III 
 Taxes,
Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 
 Section 3.01 Taxes. 

(1) Except as required by applicable Law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. 
 (2) If any Loan Party or any other applicable
withholding agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent, if applicable) is required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Loan Party or withholding agent) to make any deduction or
withholding on account of any Taxes from any such payment under any of the Loan Documents: 

  
 115 













 (a) the applicable Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any such
requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it; 
 (b) the applicable Loan Party or other
applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall pay any amounts deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if
the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent (as applicable); 

(c) if the Tax in question is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased by such Loan Party to the extent necessary to
ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be made under this
Section 3.01), the Lender or the Agent (as applicable) receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and 

(d) within thirty days after paying any sum from which any Loan Party is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within
thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which any Loan Party is required by this Section 3.01 to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of
such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority. 
 (3) Status of Lender. Each
Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation
(including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.01(3)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation
(including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(3)(a), (b) and (c) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

Without limiting the foregoing: 

(a) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a party to
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding. 

  
 116 













 (b) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any
successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code, 

(ii) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h)
or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two
properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a
participating Lender), duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or H-3, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY and any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(3) if such
beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 may be
provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner). 
 In addition, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative
Agent), two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States
federal withholding Tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents. 
 (c) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document
would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the term
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 117 













 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01, a Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (4) In addition to the payments by a Loan Party required by
Section 3.01(2), the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

 (5) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Tax Indemnitee attributable to any payment under or with respect to any
Loan Document, and any Other Taxes paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax
Indemnitee or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(6) If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Loan Party the
amount of such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over by the Tax Indemnitee (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to
the Tax Indemnitee to the extent the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (6), in no event will the Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to
a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (6) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee 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 subsection shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (7) The
agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(8) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes
or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other 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 10.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each
case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were 

  
 118 













 correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (8). 

Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR
Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the U.S. money market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, (1) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (2) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (a) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the
Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate) and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate with
respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component, thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in
writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted. 
 Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that for any reason
in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that: 
 (1) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the U.S. money market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, 
 (2) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate (based upon methodology set forth in the definition thereof) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base
Rate Loan, or 
 (3) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, 

  
 119 













 the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Borrower) will so notify the Administrative Agent in writing
and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event
of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed
to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 Section 3.04
Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves. 
  

	 	(1)	 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 



(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 
 (b) subject any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01 and any Excluded Taxes); or 
 (c) impose on any Lender or the Canadian money market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or this clause (c); 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Administrative Agent of making, converting to, continuing or
maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or Administrative Agent, or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or Administrative Agent setting forth in
reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender or Administrative Agent under this Section 3.04(1) so long as it is such
Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 

(2) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation
of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(2) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar
circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 

  
 120 













 (3) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (1) or (2) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. 

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which
demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin)
actually incurred by it as a result of: 
 (1) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a day prior to
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (2)
any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 

(3) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.07; including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan or from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may make any demand
under this Section 3.05 with respect to the “floor” specified in the proviso to the definition of “LIBOR Rate”. 

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(1) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender
such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as
applicable, and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect. 

(2) Suspension of Lender Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower
may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate
Loans until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(3) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender
to receive the compensation so requested. 

  
 121 













 (3) Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to
do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Rate Loans made by other Lenders, as applicable, are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of a given Class held by the Lenders of such Class holding LIBOR Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro
rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (4)
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one
hundred-eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

Section 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (1) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04 or ceases to make LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (2) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(1),
(3) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extended Lender, (4) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (5) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) require such Lender
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to
clause (3) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver, or amendment, as applicable) and the related Loan Documents to one or
more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(iv);

 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and any Prepayment Premium pursuant to Section 2.18 that would
otherwise be owed in connection therewith) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 122 













 (iii) such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07
shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion, as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower (or a
lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Term Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment)
invalid and upon payment to the Lender being replaced of the amounts set forth in clause (ii) (and the payment to the Administrative Agent set forth in clause (i)) such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Term
Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure; 
 (iv) the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the
assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning
Lender; 
 (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(vi) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and 

(vii) if the Administrative Agent is a Lender hereunder, the Lender that acts as Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its
capacity as Administrative Agent other than in accordance with Section 9.11, or 
 (b) terminate the Commitment of such Lender
and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Lender as of such termination date (including any Prepayment Premium pursuant to Section 2.18 that would otherwise be owed in connection
therewith); provided that in the case of any such termination of the Commitment of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable consent,
waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall, with respect to clause (3) above, be in respect of all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject
of the related consent, waiver and amendment. 
 In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the
Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders
or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans/Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does
not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 
 A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

Section 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Commitments, repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations under this Agreement and resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 123

may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Person’s securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders will be clearly and
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” will appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower will be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as containing only Public-Side Information (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they will be treated

and casualty or condemnation excepted. 
 Section 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. 

(1) Maintain with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and
reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in
the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) as are
customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried; provided
that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Borrower or any Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than what is consistent with past practice. Each such policy of insurance will as appropriate,
(i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear or (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain an additional loss payable clause or
endorsement that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the additional loss payee thereunder; provided that to the extent that the requirements of this Section 6.07 are not satisfied on the Closing Date,
the Borrower may satisfy such requirements within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree).

Loan Party to (a) maintain, or cause to be maintained, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (b) deliver to the
Collateral Agent (A) evidence as to whether the community in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, (B) the Borrower’s written acknowledgment of receipt of written

Program and (C) copies of an application for a flood insurance policy plus proof of premium payment, a declaration page confirming that such flood insurance has been issued, or such other evidence of such flood insurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and naming the Collateral Agent as mortgagee and loss payee (the requirements of clauses (a) and (b) being the “Flood Insurance Requirements”).

injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property (including ERISA, the USA PATRIOT Act, applicable Sanctions and the FCPA), except if the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be
expected individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 6.09 Books and Records. Maintain proper
books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case

reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided that only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one
(1) such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense
of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s independent public accountants.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.10 is subject to the last paragraph of Section 6.02. The Lenders shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent under

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.02: 

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) at the time of incurrence meets the
criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (33) above, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify, such item of Indebtedness or

portion thereof) in such of the above clauses as determined by the Borrower at such time; provided that all Indebtedness incurred hereunder on the Closing Date will, at all times, be treated as incurred on the Closing Date under
Section 7.02(b)(1) and (25), respectively; 
 (2) [reserved]; 

(3) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this Section 7.02 will be determined
after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness; 
 (4)
in the event an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued pursuant to a fixed dollar Basket under Section 7.02(b) on the same date that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any
portion thereof) is incurred or issued under an applicable incurrence test available under Section 7.02(b), then the applicable incurrence test under Section 7.02(b) will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under
such incurrence test without regard to any incurrence under a fixed dollar Basket then available under Section 7.02(b); provided that unless the Borrower elects otherwise, the incurrence of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock will be
deemed incurred or issued first under the then available incurrence test under Section 7.02(b) to the extent permitted with the balance incurred under a then available fixed dollar Basket under Section 7.02(b); and

 The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness or Preferred Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange
rate of currencies, in each case, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 7.02. Any Indebtedness incurred to refinance Indebtedness or Preferred Stock incurred pursuant to
clauses (3), (4), (12), (13), (14) and (25) of Section 7.02(b) will be permitted to include additional Indebtedness or Preferred Stock incurred to pay accrued but unpaid interest and
dividends and premiums, defeasance costs and fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. 
 For purposes of determining
compliance with any Dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Preferred Stock, the Dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based
on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower Dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving
credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock is issued to Refinance other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar denominated (or the
applicable growth component with respect to such Basket, if greater) restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar denominated restriction will be deemed not to
have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness or Preferred Stock does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (as applicable) being refinanced plus (ii) the
aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid interest, fees, underwriting discounts, defeasance costs, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including OID, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such
refinancing. 
 The principal amount of any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock incurred to refinance other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock, if
incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness or Preferred Stock, as applicable, being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness or Preferred Stock
is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date will be the principal amount thereof that would be shown
on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;

 Section 8.04 Right to Cure. 

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01(3), in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the
requirement of the Financial Maintenance Covenant, any of the Permitted Holders, Holdings or any other Person designated by the Borrower shall have the right at any time during the period beginning at the start of the last fiscal quarter of the
applicable Test Period and ending on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements with respect to the Test Period in which such covenant is being measured are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01 (such date, the “Cure Deadline”), to make a direct or indirect equity investment in the Borrower in cash in the form of common Equity Interests (or other Qualified Equity Interests reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent) (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”), the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be
recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Adjusted EBITDA for such Test Period in an amount equal to such Cure Amount; provided that such pro forma adjustment to Adjusted EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of
determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Financial Maintenance Covenant with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any
Loan Document. 
 (2) If, after the receipt of the Cure Amounts and the recalculations pursuant to clause (1) above, the Borrower
shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant during such Test Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the relevant date of
determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) the Cure Right may be exercised on no more
than five (5) occasions, (ii) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Cure Right is exercised, (iii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised in consecutive fiscal quarters,
(iv) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant (such amount, the “Necessary
Cure Amount”) (provided that if the Cure Right is exercised prior to the date financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter then the Cure Amount shall be equal to the amount reasonably determined by the
Borrower in good faith that is required for purposes of complying with the Financial Maintenance Covenant for such fiscal quarter (such amount, the “Expected Cure Amount”), (v) subject to clause (3) below, all Cure
Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining any baskets or financial ratio or test calculations (other than with 

  
 175 













 
respect to the Financial Maintenance Covenant), with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents and (vi) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness (by
netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for determining compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant for the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Amount is deemed applied unless such proceeds are actually applied to prepay
Indebtedness, in which case, such reduction in Indebtedness may only be reflected in fiscal quarters subsequent to the Test Period with respect to which the applicable Cure Amount is exercised. 

(3) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) to the extent that the Expected Cure Amount is (i) greater than the
Necessary Cure Amount, then such difference may be used for the purposes of determining any baskets (other than any previously contributed Cure Amounts), with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents or the Available Equity Amount or
(ii) less than the Necessary Cure Amount, then not later than the applicable Cure Deadline, the Borrower must receive a direct or indirect equity investment in cash in the form of common Equity Interests (or other Qualified Equity
Interests reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which cash proceeds received by Borrower shall be equal to the shortfall between such Expected Cure Amount and such Necessary Cure Amount and (B) prior to the Cure Deadline
(x) the Lenders shall not be permitted to exercise any rights then available as a result of an Event of Default under Section 8.02 on the basis of a breach of the Financial Maintenance Covenant so as to enable the Borrower to
consummate its Cure Right as permitted under this Section 8.04 and (y) the Lenders shall not be required to make any Loans unless and until the Borrower has received the Cure Amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance
with the Financial Maintenance Covenant. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. 

(1) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Cortland Capital Market Services LLC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies and powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof (including any subordination and intercreditor agreements), together with such rights, actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other
than Sections 9.09, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.16) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders; the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provision.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. 
 (2) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the
Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the Collateral Agent of (and, in such capacity, to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf
of or in trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, and to take all other actions, exercise all powers and perform such
duties as are delegated to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.07 for purposes of 

  
 176 













 holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof), or for exercising any rights and
remedies with respect thereto), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent” under the
Loan Documents) and Article X as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to execute any and all
documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or their respective sub-agent(s) shall bind the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. 

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Any Lender that is also serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Lender (if any) serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Any such Person serving as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agents (including the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective
Agent-Related Persons), Structuring Advisor or Arranger shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the
Agents (including the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and their respective Agent-Related Persons), Structuring Advisor or Arranger: 

(1) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent or Structuring Advisor or Arranger is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties; 
 (2) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent or Structuring Advisor or Arranger is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or Structuring Advisor or Arranger to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (3) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent, Structuring
Advisor or Arranger or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 177 













 No Agent nor any of their Agent-Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken (including (i) the making of (or omitting to make) any determination, calculations, selection, request, appointment, instruction, direction, election or providing any approval or consent to enter into any amendments, modifications or
supplements or otherwise in connection with any provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) the sending (or failure to send) any notice or the revocation (or failure to revoke) any notice, (iii) the exercise (or failure to exercise) of voting
rights or powers, (iv) the filing or recording of any agreement, document or instrument (or the failure to file or records any agreement, document or instrument), (v) the exercise of any rights and remedies (and all actions incidental or
related thereto), (vi) releasing, subordinating, and/or terminating any Lien or (vii) exercising any powers as the attorney-in-fact for any Loan Party) by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (provided, that no action taken or not taken in accordance with clause (i) of this
sentence, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct), in each case, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice (conspicuously identified as a “notice of default”) describing such Default or Event of Default in sufficient detail is given to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as applicable, by the Borrower or a Lender and expressly stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the
Lenders. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or such number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have received
such direction, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion. 

None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall be liable or responsible for, or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into, (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, instrument, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or delivered to the Agents or Lenders hereunder or pursuant to the Loan Documents or in connection herewith or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (iii)
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations, provisions or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the value, validity, enforceability,
effectiveness, execution, collectability, sufficiency or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document, or the creation, attachment, perfection and/or priority of any Lien created
or purported to be created in the Collateral by the Collateral Documents and/or the filing of financing statements, continuation and/or amendment of any financing statements filed to perfect the Liens in the applicable Collateral, (v) the value
or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, (vii) the inspection of the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, (viii) the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations
(ix) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, or 

  
 178 













 
(x) to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing or otherwise relating to any Loan Party unless expressly required herein. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding of Loans or the component amounts thereof. Additionally, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible or have
any liability for, or have any duty to (i) ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions, Defaulting Lenders, Approved Funds, Affiliates of a Lender, Eligible Assignee,
Affiliates of a Disqualified Institution, Affiliates of a Borrower, SPC, or Assignee Group (or otherwise determine whether a Person qualifies as a Disqualified Institution, Defaulting Lender, Approved Fund, Affiliate of a Lender, Eligible Assignee,
Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution, Affiliate of a Borrower, SPC or Assignee Group) or (ii) inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with Section 10.07(b)(v) or Section 10.07(d). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant qualifies as a Disqualified Institution, Defaulting Lender,
Approved Fund, Affiliate of a Lender, Eligible Assignee, Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution, Affiliate of a Borrower, SPC or Assignee Group and shall be permitted to treat each Lender, Participant, or prospective Lender or Prospective
Participant as if it is not a Disqualified Institution, Defaulting Lender, Approved Fund, Affiliate of a Lender, Eligible Assignee, Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution, Affiliate of a Borrower, SPC or Assignee Group unless and until it receives
written notice of the same from Required Lenders or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institution, Defaulting Lender,
Approved Fund, Affiliate of a Lender, Eligible Assignee, Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution, Affiliate of a Borrower, SPC or Assignee Group. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be obligated to
calculate or confirm the calculations of the Financial Covenants set forth herein or the other Loan Documents or in any of the financial statements of the Loan Parties. 

The duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Collateral Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall
be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs
the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to execute and perform its obligations hereunder and under each other Loan Document. 
 The
Structuring Advisor and the Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.05. Without limitation of the foregoing,
neither the Structuring Advisor nor the Arranger shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person. 

Section 9.04 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any
Agent-Related Person have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person, each Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate,
has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition, affairs, business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective
Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection 

  
 179 













 herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and their
respective Subsidiaries, based on such documents and information as such Lender has deemed appropriate, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
shall not be (i) responsible to any Lender or any other Secured Party for (A) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any other Loan Document or other document, certificate, requests, instruments,
statement or other writing delivered in connection herewith, with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein or referenced or provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, (B) the execution, effectiveness, value,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of the Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (C) the
attachment, creation and/or perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted in the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, the filing of financing statements or the continuation and/or amendment of any financing statements filed
to perfect the Liens in the applicable Collateral, (ii) required to make (or otherwise be responsible to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties for making) any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default,
(iii) required to calculate, or be responsible for the calculation, verification or confirmation of, the Prepayment Premium, or (iv) ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of
Section 2.05(1)(e). Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Agent-Related Person. 
 Section 9.05 Certain Rights
of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required) prior to taking any action or entering into any amendments,
modifications or supplements, making any determination (including as to whether any agreement, document or instrument is in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent), making any calculation (which shall be computed by the Required Lenders),
sending any notice, revoking any notice, making a selection, request, election or appointment (including failing to make a selection, request, election or appointment), exercising any voting rights or powers (including failing to exercise any voting
rights or powers), exercising any rights and remedies (and all actions incidental or related thereto), releasing, subordinating and/or terminating any Lien, exercising any powers as the attorney-in-fact for any Loan Party, providing any consent,
approval, instruction or direction (including failing to provide any consent, approval, instruction or direction) or making (or failing to make) any filing or recording in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and may
refrain (and shall incur no liability from so refraining) from taking or omitting to take any act or making any such determination, calculation, selection, request, exercising such voting rights or powers or providing such notice, approval or
consent or entering into any amendments, modifications or supplements until it receives such instruction (or calculation, as applicable) from the Required Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and such additional indemnity from the Lenders, in each case, as it deems reasonably appropriate (and until such instructions and indemnity, as applicable, are received, the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable in its sole discretion) and neither the Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall incur liability to any Lender, any other Secured Party
or 

  
 180 













 any Borrower or Loan Party by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence,
in no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to (A) reallocate payments in accordance with Section 2.17(1)(b) without receiving direction from the Required Lenders, (B) approve the form of financial statements of the
Borrower or any Opinion of Counsel without receiving direction from the Required Lenders, or (C) enter into any extension or amendment without receiving direction from the requisite percentage of the applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the request of the Required Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders
as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, acting or refraining from
acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required). Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic
stay under the Bankruptcy Code (or similar laws)) or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar laws) or the terms of any of the Loan Documents
that would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to personal liability. Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and/or funding its Loans, shall be
deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing
Date or as of the date of funding such Loan. 
 Section 9.06 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon (and shall not be liable for so relying upon), any communication, request, instrument, note, consent, affidavit, letter, writing, resolution, notice,
statement, certificate, e-mail or other electronic message, order, internet or intranet website posting, or other document (or writing), conversation or telephone message signed, sent or made (or authenticated) by (or, in the case of a conversation,
with) any Person that the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters (including all duties and obligations of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents) pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts and professional advisors selected by the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation, transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts or professional advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, professional advisors or
experts. 

  
 181 













 Section 9.07 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more of its agents, sub agents and/or attorneys in fact appointed by the Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such agent, sub agent or attorney in fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, together with such rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory and indemnification provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
agent, sub agent or attorney in fact and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such agent, attorney in fact or sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents,
sub agents, attorney in fact or any of their respective Agent-Related Persons selected by it with reasonable care. 
 Section 9.08
Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was
performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent) (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) is not timely reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will timely reimburse and indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or otherwise acting in a
capacity as a sub-agent for purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs,
expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred at any time by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related
Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including any indemnification provided by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Loan Document); provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent Indemnitee for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.08 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender
or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall timely reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including
Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or in any Loan Document, or in connection with any
transaction contemplated hereunder, or in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Agent-Related Person, as applicable, under or in connection with any of the foregoing including exercising
any of the Agents’ powers, rights, and remedies and performing their duties hereunder and thereunder (or omitting to do the same), in each case, to the extent that the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not timely
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further,
that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination
of the Loan Documents and Aggregate Commitments, the 

  
 182 













 payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. If
any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the
acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. 
 Section 9.09 The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
in Their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same
rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent in their respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment
banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any
Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information
that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

Section 9.10 Structuring Advisor and Arranger. Except as set forth herein, neither the Structuring Advisor nor the Arranger shall
have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as a structuring advisor or arranger. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Structuring Advisor nor the
Arranger shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Structuring Advisor or the Arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking
or not taking action hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document (including the issuance of any discretionary notices and the making of any discretionary calculations or determinations), except at the written direction of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be (i) required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law and (ii) liable for following any of such
direction(s) by the Required Lenders or such other percentage of Lenders required hereunder. 
 Section 9.11 Resignation by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders (which,
for purposes of this Section 9.11 shall include the Administrative Agent’s capacity as Collateral Agent, unless otherwise stated). If the Administrative Agent is in material breach of its obligations hereunder as Administrative
Agent, then the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may remove the Defaulting Lender from such role upon
15 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders. 

  
 183 













 Upon any such notice of resignation by, or notice of removal of, the Administrative Agent,
the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(6) has occurred and is continuing). 

If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 day period, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 

If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation
was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders
shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. The retiring Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed; provided that (i) in its capacity as Collateral Agent, the retiring
Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with holding such collateral security) and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead
be made by or to each Lender directly (except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrated and/or Collateral Agent), until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided for above in this Section 9.11. 
 Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or
other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent prior to the effectiveness of such removal or resignation), the terms “Administrative Agent” and “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor
agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the retiring (or retired or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.11) without any other or future act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of
the Loans. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.11 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder unless otherwise agreed. 

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, their respective sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

  
 184 













 Upon a resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent (i) shall continue to be subject to Section 10.09 and (ii) shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of
this Article IX (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent. 
 Section 9.12 Collateral Matters. Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby
irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (or its designee) to take the actions to be taken by them as set forth in Sections 7.04 and 10.24. 

Each Lender hereby agrees, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of
Lenders required) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent
from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default (but shall have no obligation), to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest
in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.12. In each case as specified in and subject to the provisions of
this Section 9.12, the applicable Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the applicable Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may
reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.12. 
 The Collateral Agent shall
have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto
have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity
any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 9.12, Section 10.24 or in any of the Collateral Documents; it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty unless and until expressly directed by Required Lenders and until the Collateral Agent receives such direction, the Collateral Agent may act in any
manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable decision). The Agents shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or
perfection of the Agents’ Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral,
Liens therein or financing statements filed in connection therewith. 

  
 185 













 Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party (other than the Agents) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty,
it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to
Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or Debtor Relief Law with similar effect), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k),
Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties
(but not any Lender or the Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion
of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

Section 9.13 [Reserved]. 

Section 9.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the

 Section 9.15 Appointment of Supplemental
Administrative Agents. 
 (1) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any
Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the
rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to appoint an
additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or
administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 

(2) In the event that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral,
(i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent with respect to such
Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to
such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to
and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (3) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be
reasonably required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower
shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments reasonably acceptable to it promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative
Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by
the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (as applicable) until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

case, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, Term Intercreditor Agreement or any other Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (b) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, on the one hand, and of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, Term Intercreditor Agreement or any other Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or Term Intercreditor
Agreement, as the case may be shall control, and (c) each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to
execute and perform its obligations under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto approved in accordance with the terms thereof), the Term Intercreditor Agreement (and any
amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto approved in accordance with the terms thereof) or any other Applicable Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, modification or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects, so long

of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, or (iv) to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security

Sections 2.18 hereof) and/or (v) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Loan Document in a manner more favorable to the then-existing Lenders or Class or Classes of Lenders, in each case in connection with the issuance
or incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Indebtedness are more favorable to the lenders thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to other Loans or Commitments then existing hereunder, and it is
intended that one or more then-existing Classes of Loans or Commitments under this Agreement share in the benefit of such more favorable terms in order to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the incurrence of such Indebtedness;
provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Refinancing Loans, any Extension or any borrowing of Replacement Loans and otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.15 or 2.16

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of
its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligation under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons
as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent,
structuring advisor, or arranger or any similar role under any Loan Document and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the
Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent such damages are found in a
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special,
punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan
Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party for which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.05). In the case of an investigation, litigation or
other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors
or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under
Section 10.04 and this Section 10.05 shall be paid within twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative
Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent
losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 10.05 to such Indemnitee for
any such fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. 

Section 10.06 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, 

  
 196 













 declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 
 Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.03, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including to existing Lenders and their Affiliates) except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto (other than the replacement of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX above) shall be null and void). Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment or, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent
shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents in writing; provided, however, that concurrent assignments to
members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met. 

  
 197 













 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(1) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(6) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment
determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (2) in respect of an assignment to any Person in its capacity as (x) trustee or custodian holding assets for
the satisfaction of the obligations of any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) to any counterparty to a reinsurance arrangement or (y) counterparty to a reinsurance arrangement with any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) or
(3) in respect of an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of all or a
portion of the Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received notice from the assigning Lender of a failure to respond to such request for assignment; and

 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if
such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) of all or a portion
of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(g); 
 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall
pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent). The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or otherwise required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules
and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act. Each assignee Lender shall be required to represent in the Assignment and Assumption that it is not a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution. 

(v) No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, (B) to any Affiliate of the Borrower, (C) to a natural person or (D) to any Disqualified Institution. 
 This
Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities. 

  
 198 













 In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all
payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the
assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.07,
from and after the date of recordation thereof by the Administrative Agent, specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment), but shall in any event continue to be
subject to Section 10.09. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 10.07(d). 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Borrower pursuant to subsections (h) or (l) below, and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the 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 Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding written notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to its own Loans, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
written notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans 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 Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). 

  
 199 













 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (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. 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 any other Loan Document; provided 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 the first proviso to Section 10.01 (other than clauses (d) and (i) thereof) that directly affects such Participant.
Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.07, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01 (including
subsections (2), (3) and (4), as applicable as though it were a Lender)), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.07. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.10 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 3.01(8) with respect to any payments made
by such Lender to its Participant(s). 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of
Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the
Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the
Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (f) Any Lender may at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to 

  
 200 













 fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any
part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its
obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting
Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and
(ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

	 	(k)	 [Reserved]. 


  

	 	(l)	 [Reserved]. 



(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any
Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion
of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee
actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be
entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

(n) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Disqualified Institution that purports to become a Lender hereunder (notwithstanding the provisions of
this Agreement that prohibit Disqualified Institutions from becoming Lenders) shall be entitled to any of the rights or privileges enjoyed by the other Lenders with respect to voting, information and lender meetings. In addition, if any assignment
or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s express prior written consent (which consent shall state expressly that the Borrower acknowledges that the assignee Lender is a Disqualified Institution) in
violation of clause (v) of Section 10.07(b), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights and remedies that it may have against such Disqualified Institution, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to the
applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such 

  
 201 













 Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such
Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to
assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.07), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the
principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts)
payable to it hereunder. 
 (o) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as
to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of
confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. 
 Section 10.08 [Reserved]. 

Section 10.09 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information in
accordance with its customary procedures (as set forth below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, members, directors, officers, employees, legal counsel,
independent auditors, professionals and other experts or agents, trustees, advisors and representatives, financing sources and existing and prospective investors in any Approved Fund (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, with such Affiliate being responsible for such Person’s compliance with this Section 10.09; provided,
however, that such Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall be principally liable to the extent this Section 10.09 is violated by one or more of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective employees, directors or officers)
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided, however, that each
Agent and each Lender agrees to seek confidential treatment with respect to any such disclosure, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or otherwise as required by applicable Law or regulation or as
requested by a Governmental Authority; provided that such Agent or such Lender as applicable, agrees (x) that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (except in connection with any
request as part of any audit or regulatory examination) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation and (y) to seek confidential treatment with respect to any such disclosure, (d) to any other party hereto and or any
other Secured Party, (e) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.09, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any potential or prospective assignee
of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee (or its agent) or prospective Eligible Assignee or (ii) with the prior consent of the Borrower, any actual or prospective direct or indirect
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective obligations; provided that (i) such disclosure shall be made subject to the
acknowledgment and acceptance by such prospective Lender, Hedge Bank, Participant or Eligible Assignee that such Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Agents, including as set forth in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials) in accordance with the standard syndication process of the Agents or market standards for
dissemination of such type of information which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative action 

  
 202 













 on the part of the recipient to access such confidential information and (ii) no such disclosure shall
be made to any person that is at such time a Disqualified Lender, (f) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach by any Person of this Section 10.09 or any other confidentiality provision in favor of any Loan Party, (y) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and which source is not known by such Agent, such Lender or the applicable Affiliate to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in
respect thereof in favor of Holdings, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower or (z) is independently developed by the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, in each case, so long as not based on information obtained in a
manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.09, (i) in order to enforce its respective rights under any Loan Document in any action or proceeding or (j) on a confidential basis to any rating agency. 

For purposes of this Section 10.09, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof after the date hereof shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.09 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in
accordance with its customary procedures if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include trade secrets, protected confidential information, or
material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information and (c) it will handle such information in accordance with
applicable Law, including applicable United States securities Laws and to preserve its trade secret or confidential character. 
 The
respective obligations of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 10.09 shall survive, to the extent applicable to such Person, (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, (y) any
assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and (z) the resignation or removal of any Agent. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided elsewhere herein, this Section 10.09 shall not limit the activities of any affiliate of the Structuring Advisor; provided that Information is not disclosed to directors, officers or employees of
such affiliate, other than to (x) compliance or finance personnel for compliance or finance purposes and (y) non-compliance personnel who are directors or officers of, or function in a similar oversight role at, such affiliate as long as
Information is not otherwise disclosed to such affiliate or used for the benefit of such affiliate. 
 Section 10.10 Setoff.
Subject to Section 10.19, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (as
directed by the Required Lenders), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations
(in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party then due and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand 

  
 203 













 under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that in the event that any Defaulting
Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.10 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 Section 10.11 [Reserved]. 

Section 10.12 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 10.18, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging (including in .pdf format) means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.13 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption, any Loan Document or in any amendment or other modification hereof or thereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform

good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Agreement provided by the Agents, the Structuring Advisor, the Arranger and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Structuring

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be
automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the sale or other transfer of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other transfer permitted hereunder) to
any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by
any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party by a Person that is not a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease,
(iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 10.01), (v) to the extent
the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (in accordance with the second succeeding sentence), (vi) as required by the Collateral Agent to
effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (vii) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Assets and

owning, directly or indirectly, no more than 49.99% of the common equity interests of the Borrower. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or
obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent
otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guaranties upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder
resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary, or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments,
documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender; provided
that, upon request by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (and, in each case, prior to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent being required to execute and deliver (or file and/or record) such instruments, documents or agreements or
otherwise comply with this sentence), the Borrower shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent confirming that such sale or transfer of Collateral is permitted 

  
 207 













 under the Loan Documents (in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 10.24(a)) or
such release of a Guarantor is permitted under the Loan Documents (in the case of clause (v) of this Section 10.24(a)), and the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be permitted to rely upon such certificate
without incurring any liability therefor. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such released Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be repeated. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than any contingent
obligations not then due) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take
such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any contingent obligations not then due. Any such
release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer
for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with
any Permitted Lien specified in clause (7) of the definition thereof securing obligations in respect of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (4) of
Section 7.02(b) in any Collateral, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any
Collateral to any such Permitted Lien to be senior to the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent. 
 Section 10.25 [Reserved].

 Section 10.26 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the
amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be
entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Institutions. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding
among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
 (1) the application of any Write-Down and
Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(2) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(a) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(b) a conversion of all or a portion of such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (c) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
