Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 3, 2011, as amended and restated by the Second Restatement Agreement dated as of June 14, 2012, by the Third Restatement Agreement dated as of March 13, 2013 and by the Fourth
Restatement Agreement dated as of July 24, 2015 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among ASCENA RETAIL GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the other LOAN PARTIES party hereto, the LENDERS party
hereto, the ISSUING BANKS party hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender. 
 Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below). 
 The
Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Existing Credit Agreement and certain related Loan Documents, providing for Revolving Commitments in favor of the Borrowers in an aggregate principal
amount of $600,000,000. 
 The Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend and restate
the Existing Credit Agreement to provide for, among other things, (a) the extension of the maturity of the credit facility established thereby, (b) a reduction in total Revolving Commitments of $100,000,000 and (c) certain other
amendments thereto. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration,
the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. (a) Effective as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date (as
defined below), the Existing Credit Agreement (excluding, except as set forth below, the Schedules and Exhibits thereto, each of which shall, except as set forth below, remain as in effect immediately prior to the Fifth Restatement Effective Date)
shall be amended and restated to be in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, being referred to as the “Restated Credit Agreement”). 

(b) (i) Effective as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, Schedule 2.01 to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to be in the form of Schedule 2.01 hereto. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, on and as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, Schedule 2.01 hereto sets forth all the Revolving Commitments, LC Commitments and
Standby LC Commitments of all the Lenders and Issuing Banks (and no Person whose name does not appear on Schedule 2.01 hereto shall have, or shall be deemed to have, on and as of the Fifth Restatement








 
Effective Date, a Revolving Commitment, an LC Commitment or a Standby LC Commitment under the Restated Credit Agreement or shall be a Lender thereunder). 

(ii) Each Lender and Issuing Bank party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, on and as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date
and without any further action on the part of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, all participations in Letters of Credit issued and outstanding on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”)
shall be reallocated among the Lenders on the basis of the Applicable Percentages calculated after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1(b) and that, in furtherance of the foregoing, on the Fifth Restatement Effective
Date each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from each Issuing Bank, a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage, calculated after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1(b), of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Existing Letter of Credit. Such participation shall be governed by the terms
of Section 2.06 of the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 (c) Effective as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, (i) Exhibit D to
the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to be in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and (ii) Exhibit K to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety. 

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. The Loan Parties represent and warrant to each other party hereto that: 

(a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan
Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; 
 (b) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Restated
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, on and as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, true and correct (i) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (ii) otherwise,
in all material respects, except for any representation or warranty that, by its terms, speaks as of a prior date, which representation or warranty shall be so true and correct as of such prior date; and 

(c) as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Restated Credit
Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. Fifth Restatement Effective Date. The effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement as contemplated by 

  
 2 








 
Section 1 hereof is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 of the form of Restated Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (the date on
which such conditions are satisfied being called the “Fifth Restatement Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive
and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 of the Restated Credit Agreement shall have been satisfied at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 27, 2018,
this Agreement (other than the provisions of Sections 5 and 8, which shall survive any such termination) shall cease to be of any force or effect. 

SECTION 4. Fees. The Company agrees to pay, on and subject to the substantially concurrent occurrence of, the Fifth Restatement
Effective Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender under the Restated Credit Agreement on such date, the upfront fees as set forth in that certain engagement letter between the Company and the Administrative Agent dated as
of January 10, 2018. 
 SECTION 5. Expenses; Indemnity. The Company agrees, whether or not the Fifth Restatement Effective Date
shall occur and whether or not the Restated Credit Agreement shall become effective, to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates and each other Indemnitee, on the terms set forth in Section 9.03 of the form of
Restated Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto, which terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in full herein. 

SECTION 6. Reaffirmation. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits as a
result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party hereby consents to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby (a) reaffirms and confirms its guarantees, pledges, grants of security
interests and other obligations, as applicable, under the Loan Guarantee and each Collateral Document to which it is party, (b) affirms and confirms its obligations to indemnify and other commitments and obligations under the Loan Documents to
which it is a party and (c) agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) the Loan Guarantee and each Collateral Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full
force and effect and (ii) all guarantees, pledges, grants and other obligations thereunder shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the Lender Parties. Each Loan Party hereby confirms and agrees that
obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement constitute “Obligations” and “Secured Obligations” (or words of similar import) under and as used in the Loan Guarantee and each Collateral Document to which it is a party. 

SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. (a)Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by
implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and 

  
 3 








 
shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all
of which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof (it being understood and agreed that all interest and fees accruing under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of periods prior to the Fifth Restatement
Effective Date will accrue at the rates specified in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to its restatement in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement). Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver,
amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different
circumstances, except as expressly set forth herein. 
 (b) On and after the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, each reference in the
Restated Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, as used in the Restated Credit Agreement, shall refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and
restated in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement, and the term “Credit Agreement”, as used in each Loan Document, shall mean the Restated Credit Agreement. 

(c) This Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 
 (d) Neither this Agreement nor the effectiveness of the Restated Credit Agreement shall extinguish the obligations for the
payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or discharge or release any Guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement or the Collateral Documents, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Restated Credit Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall
be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party under any Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder. 

SECTION 8. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 9.09 AND 9.10 OF THE RESTATED CREDIT
AGREEMENT ARE INCORPORATED INTO THIS AGREEMENT MUTATIS MUTANDIS WITH THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN. 
 SECTION 9.
Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging (such as a ‘pdf’) shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Company, each other Loan Party, 

  
 4 








 
each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender either (a) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of such party or (b) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (which may include a facsimile or other electronic transmission) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 11. Headings. Section headings used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 ARTICLE II 

The Credits 
 SECTION 2.01.
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers in dollars from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result in (a) the Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (b) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeding the Credit Limit, subject to the Administrative Agent’s authority,
in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances and Overadvances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow,
prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 
 SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a
Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. Any Protective Advance, any Swingline Loan and any Overadvance shall be made in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing shall be
comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance herewith. Each Protective Advance, Swingline Loan or Overadvance shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar
Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing may be in an
aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such 

  
 64 








 
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that, without affecting the Borrowing Base limitation
set forth in Section 2.01, an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Commitments then in effect or that is required to finance the repayment of a Protective
Advance as contemplated by Section 2.04(a) or the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e). Each Protective Advance or Overadvance may be in such principal amount as shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. Revolving Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
convert to or continue, any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower Representative shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request either in writing (delivered by e-mail, hand or facsimile) or by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by e-mail, hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Borrowing Request. Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the name of the
applicable Borrower; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and the manner in which the proceeds of such
Borrowing are to be disbursed (which shall be consistent with Section 2.07); 
 (iii) the date of such Borrowing, which
shall be a Business Day; 
 (iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (vi) in the case of any ABR Revolving
Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement. 

  
 65 








 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall
be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Revolving
Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent
is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time during the Availability Period, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation) to make Loans in dollars to the Borrowers, on behalf of
all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of,
repayment of the Loans and other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as
described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents which have not been paid by the Borrowers after written demand therefor (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”);
provided that the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed (i) $30,000,000 in the aggregate or (ii) together with the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances outstanding at such
time pursuant to Section 2.05, $45,000,000 in the aggregate; provided further that no Protective Advance may be made if, after giving effect thereto, any Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment.
Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall
constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing
and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative
Agent may request the Lenders to make Revolving Loans to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations as described in Section 2.04(b). 

(b) The Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to
acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of any Protective Advance outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Protective Advance in which the Lenders will be required to participate and each
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Protective Advance. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, promptly upon receipt of notice as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 p.m., New York
City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and if received 

  
 66 








 
after 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Protective Advance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Protective Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph). From and after the date, if any, on
which any Lender has paid in full for its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all
proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance; provided that any such payment or proceeds so distributed shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent if and to the extent such payment or
proceeds is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in any Protective Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to repay
such Protective Advance. 
 SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans and Overadvances. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender
and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Borrower Representative requests an ABR Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03, the Swingline Lender
may in its discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to) elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount and on the date requested, same day
funds to the Borrowers to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among the Swingline
Lender and the other Lenders as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the Lenders,
except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $30,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any
Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan would exceed Availability (before giving effect to such Swingline Loan) or would result in the Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. All Swingline Loans
shall be ABR Borrowings. 
 (b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower
Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to) make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such Loans are herein


  
 67 








 
referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of Overadvances outstanding at any time shall not exceed (i) $30,000,000 in
the aggregate or (ii) together with the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding at such time pursuant to Section 2.04, $45,000,000 in the aggregate; provided further that no Overadvance may be made if,
after giving effect thereto, any Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment. The Overadvances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and on the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations
hereunder. All Overadvances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Borrowers shall be required to repay each Overadvance no later than the 60th day after the date of the making thereof. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances may be
revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 

(c) The Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent may by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day
require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of any Swingline Loan or Overadvance, respectively, outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan or Overadvance,
respectively, in which the Lenders will be required to participate and each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, promptly upon receipt of notice
as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on a
Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender or the account of the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans and Overadvances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph). From and after the
date, if any, on which any Lender has paid in full for its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral thereafter received by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in respect of such Swingline Loan or Overadvance; provided
that any such payment or proceeds so distributed shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment or proceeds shall be required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any


  
 68 








 
reason. The purchase of participations in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to repay
such Swingline Loan or Overadvance. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a
“Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any earlier date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or
e-mail no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall transfer the amount of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the
Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07. 
 SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in dollars for its own account or for the account of another Loan Party, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. The Company unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the
account of a Loan Party that is not a Borrower as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Company will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under
Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter
of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section), the Borrower Representative shall e-mail, hand
deliver or send by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, 

  
 69 








 
or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which
such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend,
renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of
Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the total LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) the total Standby LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (iii) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of
Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank, (iv) the portion of the Standby LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will not exceed the Standby LC Commitment of such
Issuing Bank, (v) the Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (vi) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Credit Limit. An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue,
amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing, amending, renewing or extending such Letter of
Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing
Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date and
which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or if the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one
year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date as in effect on
the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such renewal or extension thereof); provided that, if the applicable Issuing Bank shall so agree, a Letter of Credit may expire at a later date if the applicable Borrower shall have
deposited cash collateral in an LC Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.06(j) in an amount equal to 103% of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit. Any Letter of Credit may provide by its terms that it may be automatically
extended for additional successive one year periods on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. Any Letter of Credit providing for automatic extension shall be extended upon the 

  
 70 








 
then current expiration date without any further action by any Person unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall have given notice to the applicable beneficiary (with a copy to the applicable
Borrower) of the election by such Issuing Bank not to extend such Letter of Credit, such notice to be given not fewer than 30 days prior to the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable
Issuing Bank; provided that no Letter of Credit may be extended automatically or otherwise beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date in effect at the time thereof (other than in accordance with this paragraph).

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof)
and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the expiration of any Letter of Credit on a date after the Maturity Date due to the operation
of the proviso in the definition of the term “Maturity Date”, the nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber
of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall, following
notice of such LC Disbursement to the Borrower Representative, reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative
prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of
receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers may,


  
 71 








 
subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to
the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or, if the Swingline Lender shall have elected to apply the terms of Section 2.05(a) to such
requested Borrowing, the resulting Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof
and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided
in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay
to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the
International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of


  
 72 








 
Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which
are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter
of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties
agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by e-mail or facsimile) of such
demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement in full, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been
made, on the date on which the Borrowers reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Banks.
Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative 

  
 73 








 
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement
shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative
Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in
clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the Borrowers hereby grant
the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the
Collateral Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Obligations (but subject to, in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender
is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders that has not been reallocated to
non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20), the consent of each Issuing Bank). If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days 

  
 74 








 
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent
that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (k) Existing Letters of
Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes hereof and of the other Loan Documents, and no issuance or similar fees (as distinguished from ongoing participation or fronting
fees) will be required in connection with the Existing Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the LC Exposure, (ii) all liabilities of the
Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations and (iii) each Lender shall have reimbursement obligations with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit as provided in this
Section 2.06. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 2.06, no Existing Letter of Credit that has not been issued by an Issuing Bank referred to in clause (a) of the definition of such term may be renewed or
extended. 
 (l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative
Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that
such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement,
(iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business
Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. 

(m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of
any document related 

  
 75 








 
thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such
increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 
 SECTION 2.07. Funding of
Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent
most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s);
provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective
Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for
such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the
Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.08. Interest
Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in
Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Revolving Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which 

  
 76 








 
case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by e-mail, hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request.
Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrower and the Revolving Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are
being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall
be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to
such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest Election Request
requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (d) If the Borrower Representative fails to
deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Borrower Representative (provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving


  
 77 








 
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in Revolving
Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. After the first determination of the Short-Dated TLB Amount, the Company will not permit Liquidity at any time to
be less than the Short-Dated TLB Amount at such time. 
 (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon
(i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans and any LC Disbursements, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any LC Disbursements, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or
alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the applicable Issuing Bank of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of such Issuing Bank a back up standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank)
equal to 103% of the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit as of such time), (iii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid fees and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and all other Obligations
outstanding at such time. 
 (c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each
reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Credit Limit. 
 (d) The
Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower
Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of
the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. 

(e) (i) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the total Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments,
either from one or more of the Lenders or from one or more other lending institutions (which shall be Eligible Assignees); provided that (i) no Lender hereunder shall have any obligation to provide


  
 78 








 
any such requested increase, (ii) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (iii) the aggregate amount of all additional Revolving Commitments obtained
under this paragraph shall not exceed $200,000,000, (iv) the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided that the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have approved the identity of any such new Lender unless such Person shall object thereto by written notice to the Company within five Business Days after
receiving a notice identifying such new Lender and stating that such approval shall be deemed to occur if no such objection is provided to the Company within such five Business Day period, (v) any such new Lender shall assume all the rights and
obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (vi) the procedure described in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section shall have been satisfied. 

(ii) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Revolving Commitments. As a condition precedent to such an increase, the Borrower Representative shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase,
and (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if
qualified by materiality), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (y) no Event of Default exists
(provided, that with respect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments to provide funds for a Limited Condition Acquisition, such certificate will be required only to certify that no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default exists or will
exist after giving effect to such acquisition and the related extensions of credit hereunder and that customary “Sungard” representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by
materiality) after giving effect to such acquisition and such extensions of credit), (B) an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties as to the power and authority of the Loan Parties to effect such increase and such other customary and related matters
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (C) a reaffirmation agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by the Loan Parties; provided further that no
such increase shall become effective unless (x) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that it has received, with respect to each Mortgage Property, (1) a completed “Life of Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency
standard flood hazard determination with respect to such Mortgage Property, as required by Flood Insurance Laws, and (2) in the case of any Flood Hazard Property, all Flood Insurance Documents with respect thereto, (y) the Administrative
Agent shall have provided copies of all documents referred to in clause (x) above received by it to the Lenders and (z) prior to the contemplated date of effectiveness of such increase (as notified by the


  
 79 








 
Administrative Agent to the Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall not have been advised in writing by any Lender that such Lender has not yet completed its flood insurance due diligence and
flood insurance compliance (with each Lender agreeing to complete such due diligence and compliance as promptly as practicable following receipt of the documents as referred to in clause (y) above)). 

(iii) On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding ABR Revolving Borrowings shall be reallocated, pursuant
to procedures reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the
time of such increase shall be reallocated, pursuant to procedures reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, among the Lenders in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages in effect at the time upon the expiration
of the then applicable Interest Periods. 
 SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then
unpaid principal amount of each Protective Advance and Overadvance on the earliest of (A) the Maturity Date, (B) demand by the Administrative Agent therefor and (C) in the case of any Overadvance, the 60th day after the date of the
making thereof. 
 (b) On each Business Day during any Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to a
Concentration Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available), first, to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be
outstanding and, second, to prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure. 
 (c)
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the 

  
 80 








 
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a
registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have
the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the total Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (i) the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base
then in effect, (B) the Protective Advance Exposure and (C) the Overadvance Exposure and (ii) the total Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (or, if no such
Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.06(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline
Lender) by telephone (confirmed by e-mail, hand delivery or facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided
in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

 SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date and each day thereafter on the amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender on such day at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
rate set forth in the table below based on Average Utilization during the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company, with each change in the applicable rate to be effective on the first day of the first month immediately following the last
day of such fiscal quarter; provided that prior to the end of the first full fiscal quarter of the Company after the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, the commitment fee shall accrue at 0.25% per annum. 

 

			
	Average Utilization	  	Commitment Fee
	 3 35%
	  	0.20%
	 < 35%
	  	0.25%

 Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and
LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure, the Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participation in
each Standby Letter of Credit or Commercial Letter of Credit at the Applicable Rate for a Letter of Credit of such type, in each case on the average daily amount of the portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Fifth Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.07% per annum, on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Fifth Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of
the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Fifth
Restatement 

  
 82 








 
Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Banks pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and payable at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the
applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (absent manifest error in the amount
paid). 
 SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan, but excluding
Protective Advances and Overadvances) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising
each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 

(c) Each Protective Advance and Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Revolving Loans
plus 2% per annum. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by
the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per
annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (e) Accrued interest on each
Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar quarter) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or 

  
 83 








 
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable
on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notification shall be made promptly after the Administrative Agent obtains knowledge of the cessation of such circumstances), (A) any Interest Election Request that requests
the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Revolving Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) any Borrowing Request for a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be treated as a request for an ABR Revolving Borrowing. 
 (b) If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have arisen (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis)
and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall
endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of 

  
 84 








 
interest for syndicated loans denominated in dollars in the United States at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Company 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 all purposes of this
Agreement. 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 Business Days of the date notice of such alternate
rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in
the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Revolving Borrowing, and (y) any Borrowing Request for a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing shall be treated as a request for an ABR Revolving Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any
Change in Law shall: 
 (i) 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 (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan
principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 
 and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender
or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will 

  
 85 








 
compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company reasonably
believes that any such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the applicable Recipient will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole
determination of such Recipient exercised in good faith, result in any non-reimbursable additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. 

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitment
of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank
or its holding company, as the case may be, as well as a reasonably detailed description of the occurrence giving rise to such event, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or
reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(e) Notwithstanding the above, a Lender or an Issuing Bank will not demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction set forth in this
Section 2.15 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of such Lender or Issuing Bank to 

  
 86 








 
demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under agreements containing provisions permitting such compensation to be claimed at such time. 

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding any loss of margin) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in
the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower Representative and setting forth and explaining in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party
under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction
or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including
such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

  
 87 








 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay 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. 

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to
this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall
jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified 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 9.04(c)(ii) 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 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 (e). 
 (f) Status of Lenders.(i) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit


  
 88 








 
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not
such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing: 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of
IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 reasonable request of the
Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 

  
 89 








 
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with the Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more
direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative 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 clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date. 

  
 90 








 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the
term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 (i) Survival. Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Banks, the termination of the Revolving
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (j) FATCA Grandfathering. For
purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the
Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The
Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment or, if no such time is expressly
required, on or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, 

  
 91 








 
in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, or by wire transfer using the Administrative Agent’s wire instructions, except that payments required to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each
Loan Document shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting
(A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) amounts to be applied from a Concentration Account during any Dominion Period
(which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (C) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, amounts which are received into any Concentration Account (which shall be deposited to the
Borrowers’ Funding Account in accordance with the Restated Security Agreement) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied
ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay
any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances and Overadvances,
fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances and Overadvances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the
Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, ninth, to the payment of
any other Secured Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and tenth, any excess to be returned to Borrower Representative; provided, that if and to the extent that it would be unlawful for any Subsidiary Loan Party
to secure any Swap Obligation under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Subsidiary Loan Party’s
failure for any reason (and after giving effect to the guarantees by the other Loan Guarantors of the Secured Obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party) to 

  
 92 








 
constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the security interests created by the Loan Documents in the assets of such Subsidiary
Loan Party become effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, no proceeds of Collateral of such Subsidiary Loan Party will be applied pursuant to clause eighth of the preceding sentence to the payment of such Swap Obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any
Eurodollar Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall
pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. 
 (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all
payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursements of fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents may be paid from
the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under the Loan
Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses pursuant to
Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower (other than, so
long as no Dominion Period is in effect or no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, any Excluded Deposit Account) maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under
the Loan Documents. 
 (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim
or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and
Overadvances of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be 

  
 93 








 
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by
the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as
the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, then
the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in
respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future payment obligations of such Lender
hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject
such 

  
 94 








 
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or Supermajority Lenders) and with respect to which the Required
Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Borrowers shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have
given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment or waiver can be effected and (E) such assignment and delegation does not conflict
with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative
Agent and the assignee (subject to any required consents referred to above) and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. 

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

  
 95 








 (a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall
not be included in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (including any consent to any amendment, waiver
or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02,
require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective
Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: 
 (i) such
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.05(c)), LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.06(d)), Protective Advance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to
which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.04(b)) and Overadvance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as
contemplated by Section 2.05(c)) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures (excluding, in the case of the Swingline Lender, any amount of its Swingline Exposure that exceeds its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Swingline Loans) plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Commitments; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender, (A) first, prepay the portion of such
Defaulting Lender’s Overadvance Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been so reallocated, (B) second, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Protective
Advance Exposure that has not been so reallocated, (C) third, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been so reallocated and (D) fourth, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been 

  
 96 








 
so reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s cash collateralized LC Exposure during the
period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and 

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the
parenthetical in clause (i) above) is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter
of credit participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and 

(d) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew, extend
or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided
by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (c) of this Section, and participating interests in any such newly issued, amended, renewed, extended or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (c)(i) of this Section (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

In the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold Revolving
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

  
 97 








 SECTION 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the
payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated,
declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. The provisions of this Section shall be and
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.22. Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company as a Borrowing Subsidiary upon five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (such notice to include the name, primary business address and tax identification number of
such proposed Borrowing Subsidiary). Upon proper notice and receipt by the Administrative Agent of such agreements (including a Joinder Agreement executed by such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 9.18), documents and legal
opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and subject to the Administrative Agent’s determining in consultation with the Lenders that designating such Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary would not cause any Lender
to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder at such
time as the Company gives notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of its intention to terminate such Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary; provided that any such termination shall not be effective (other than to terminate such
Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make further Borrowings or, except to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Loan Party after such termination, to obtain Letters of Credit) and such Subsidiary shall remain a Borrowing Subsidiary until such time
as all Loans to such Borrowing Subsidiary and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then due from such Borrowing Subsidiary have been paid in full and, unless such Subsidiary shall remain a Loan Party after such termination, no Letter of
Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding. 
 SECTION 2.23. Eligible Pledged Cash Account. The
Company may from time to time, on any Business Day, deposit or cause to be deposited cash in dollars into the Eligible Pledged Cash Account, and on the Business Day following the delivery by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent of
a notice setting forth the amount so deposited and certifying that the amount so deposited constitutes Eligible Pledged Cash, the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted to include the aggregate amount of Eligible Pledged Cash after giving effect to such
deposit (subject to the limit in the definition of “Borrowing Base” on the amount of Eligible Pledged Cash includible 

  
 98 








 
therein). The Company may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and subject to the provisions of the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement, withdraw
cash from the Eligible Pledged Cash Account if (a) no Default shall exist immediately prior to such withdrawal or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto and (b) no Dominion Period, and no conditions that will result in a
Dominion Period solely by reason of the passage of time, shall be in effect immediately after giving effect to such withdrawal and to the adjustment of the Borrowing Base provided for in the next sentence (and upon each withdrawal of cash from the
Eligible Pledged Cash Account, the Company shall be deemed to represent that the conditions set forth in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) are satisfied). At the time of any withdrawal of cash from the Eligible Pledged Cash Account, the
Borrowing Base shall be adjusted with immediate effect to include only the aggregate amount of Eligible Pledged Cash after giving effect to such withdrawal (subject to the limit in the definition of “Borrowing Base” on the amount of
Eligible Pledged Cash includible therein). At the time of any termination of the Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement entered into in respect of the Eligible Pledged Cash Account, unless such agreement shall have been
replaced by another effective Deposit Account Control Agreement or other control agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowing Base shall be adjusted with immediate effect to exclude Eligible Pledged Cash. Interest or
profits, if any, on amounts deposited in the Eligible Pledged Cash Account shall accumulate in such account and constitute Eligible Pledged Cash. 

ARTICLE III 
 Representations
and Warranties 
 Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date (and will be deemed to
represent at such other times as are specified in this Agreement) as follows: 
 SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Company and
each Restricted Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction and, in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary other than a Borrowing Subsidiary, except where the failure to be so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now
conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required. 
 SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability; Benefit to Loan Parties. (a) The Transactions,
insofar as they are to be carried out by each Loan Party, are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, shareholder or
other equityholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party 

  
 99 








 
is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(b) Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be
expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Loan Party has determined that execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

violate any applicable law, including any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary,
(d) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture or agreement (including the Term Credit Agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their assets), or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except Liens created pursuant
to the Loan Documents or Liens created in connection with Term Credit Agreement, in the case of clauses (a) (as to the Transactions other than the entry into the Loan Documents), (b) and (d) above, except for a failure to obtain or make,
violation, default or payment, as applicable, which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Loan Parties have heretofore furnished to the Lenders
(i) the consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended July 29, 2017,

and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for each of the fiscal quarters and the portion of the fiscal year ended October 28, 2017. Such

year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. 

  
 100 








 (b) Since July 29, 2017, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had,
or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) The Company and each
Restricted Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its tangible property material to its business (including its Mortgaged Properties), except for defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02. 
 (b) (i) The
Company and each Restricted Subsidiary owns, is licensed to use, or otherwise has the right to use, all trademarks, service marks, tradenames, trade dress, copyrights, patents, designs and other intellectual property material to its business, and
(ii) the conduct of their respective businesses, including the use thereof by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in their respective businesses, does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements
or any such failure to own, license or have the right to use that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Section 3.05 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth the address of each real property that is owned in fee by the Loan Parties as of the
Fifth Restatement Effective Date and, with respect to any such real property that constitutes a Mortgaged Property, the proper jurisdiction for the filing of a Mortgage in respect thereof. As of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, neither the
Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary (i) has received written notice from a condemning authority of any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting all or any material portion of any Mortgaged Property or has entered into any
agreement for the sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation, or (ii) is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein
that is not of record. 
 SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except for the Disclosed Matters, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) as to which there is a reasonable
likelihood of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

 (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters or matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law,
(ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with respect to any 

  
 101 








 
Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any reasonable basis for any Environmental Liability to be imposed on or asserted against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) The Company and each Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with all laws,
including all orders of Governmental Authorities, applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (it being agreed that this Section does not apply to any law which is specifically addressed in Section 3.06(b), 3.07(b), 3.08, 3.09, 3.10 or 3.14). No Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing. 
 (b) The Borrowers have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance in all
material respects by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and
to the knowledge of the Borrowers, their respective directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (i) the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the
Borrowers, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (ii) to the knowledge of the Borrowers any agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility
established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. 

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Company and each Subsidiary has (a) timely filed or
caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) paid
or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it (including in its capacity as withholding agent), except (i) any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which the
Company or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books reserves with respect thereto to the extent required by GAAP or (ii) to the extent that the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. There is no current or proposed tax assessment, deficiency or other claim against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 SECTION 3.10. ERISA; Labor Matters. (a) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, (ii) neither 

  
 102 








 
any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, and (iii) each Plan is in compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws. On the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, the excess of the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of preparing the
audited financial statements set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, over the fair market value
of the assets of such Plan, if any, could not be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are
no strikes, lockouts, slowdowns or any other labor disputes against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, (ii) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Company and
the Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, (iii) all payments due from the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP and (iv) the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining
agreement to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound. 
 (c) None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is an entity
deemed to hold “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA). 

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. Neither the Information Materials nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other
written information (other than forward-looking information, management projections or information of a general economic or industry nature) furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, any
Arranger or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when delivered and taken as a whole,
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to
forecasts and projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by them to be reasonable at the time made and at the time so furnished and, if furnished
prior to the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date (it being understood that such forecasts and projections may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material).

 SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. Section 3.12 of the Disclosure Letter
sets forth, as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of, and the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Subsidiary in, (a) each Subsidiary and
(b) each joint venture in which the Company or any Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests, and identifies each Designated Subsidiary. All the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in each Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party have been (to the
extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such Equity Interests) duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non assessable (except as such rights may arise under mandatory provisions of applicable statutory law that may not be
waived and not as a result of any rights contained in organizational documents). Except as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Disclosure Letter, as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right,
commitment or other agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party requiring, and there are no Equity Interests in any Subsidiary outstanding that upon exercise, conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by any Subsidiary of
any additional Equity Interests or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary. 

SECTION 3.13. Insurance. Section 3.13 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on
behalf of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date. As of the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have been paid. The Loan Parties believe that the
insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries is adequate. 
 SECTION 3.14. Federal Reserve
Regulations. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U
of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally
or ultimately, in any manner or for any purpose that would entail a violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors. 
 SECTION
3.15. Solvency. The fair value of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is now, and will be following the incurrence of the Obligations hereunder, greater than the amount that will be required to pay
the total liability on existing debts, as such debts become absolute and matured. The present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is now, and will be following the incurrence of the
Obligations hereunder, greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured. After giving effect to the incurrence of the Obligations and the consummation of the other
Transactions on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are able to pay their debts, as such debts become absolute and matured. The incurrence of the Obligations hereunder and the
consummation of the other Transactions 

  
 104 








 
on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date will not leave the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, with property remaining in their hands constituting “unreasonably
small capital” (it being understood and agreed that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and that this conclusion is based on current assumptions
regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Company in light of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumptions are not unreasonable in
light of the circumstances applicable thereto). 
 SECTION 3.16. Collateral Matters. (a) The Restated Security Agreement creates
in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein) and (i) when the Collateral constituting certificated securities (as defined in the
UCC) is delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, the security interest created under the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title
and interest of the pledgors thereunder in such Collateral, prior and superior in right to any other Person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the applicable filing offices, the security interest created under
the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the remaining Collateral (as defined therein) to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing UCC
financing statements, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02. 

(b) Each Mortgage has created or, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a legal and valid security interest in all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties subject thereto and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages
have been filed in the jurisdictions specified therein, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, prior
and superior in right to any other Person, but subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02. 
 (c) Upon the recordation of the IP
Security Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section, the security interest created
under the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Restated Security Agreement) in which a security interest
may be perfected by filing in the United States of America, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, but subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a security interest in such Intellectual Property acquired by the Loan Parties after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date). 

  
 105 








 (d) It is understood that, to the extent the actions referred to in the foregoing paragraphs of
this Section have already been taken with the results envisioned by such paragraphs, no further action shall be required in connection with the effectiveness of the Fifth Restatement Agreement. 

SECTION 3.17. Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Loans and will request the issuance of Letters of Credit only
for purposes set forth in Section 5.11. 
 SECTION 3.18. Credit Card Agreements. Section 3.18 of the Disclosure Letter (as
updated from time to time as permitted by Section 5.16) sets forth a list of all Credit Card Agreements to which any Loan Party is a party. A true and complete copy of each Credit Card Agreement listed in Section 3.18 of the Disclosure
Letter has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with all material amendments, waivers and other modifications thereto. All such Credit Card Agreements are in full force and effect, currently binding upon each Loan Party that is a
party thereto and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, binding upon other parties thereto in accordance with their terms. The Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with each such Credit Card Agreement.

 113 








 
Administrative Agent thereof and will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, including to grant and perfect such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties and, in the case of clause (ii), all to the extent required by this Agreement or the

Obligations are not secured by a Lien on such assets, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and (ii) take, or cause such Subsidiary to
take, as the case may be, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, including to grant and perfect such Lien, and to cause such Liens securing
Indebtedness under the Term Credit Agreement or such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof and such Liens securing the Secured Obligations to become subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 

SECTION 5.05. Existence; Conduct of Business. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, do or cause to be
done all things reasonably necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect (i) its legal existence and (ii) the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to
the conduct of its business, except in the case of clause (ii) where failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, disposition or other transaction permitted under Section 6.03 or 6.05. 

SECTION 5.06. Payment of Obligations. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, pay or discharge all its
material obligations, including material Tax liabilities (whether or not shown on a Tax return), before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) (i) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, (ii) such Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary has set aside on its books reserves with respect thereto to the extent required by GAAP and (iii) such contest effectively suspends collection of the contested
obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation or (b) the failure to make payment would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 114 








 SECTION 5.07. Maintenance of Properties. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each
Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.08.
Insurance. The Loan Parties will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as are
customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Each such policy of liability or casualty insurance maintained by or on behalf of Loan Parties shall
(a) in the case of each liability insurance policy (other than workers’ compensation, director and officer liability or other policies in which such endorsements are not customary), name the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender
Parties, as an additional insured thereunder and (b) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties, as a loss payee thereunder,
and the Loan Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to have each such policy provide for at least 30 days’ (or such shorter number of days as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent of any cancellation of such policy. With respect to each Flood Hazard Property owned by any Loan Party with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under Flood Insurance Laws, the applicable Loan Party (i) has obtained
and will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, flood insurance in such amount and otherwise on such terms as shall be required to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to Flood Insurance
Laws and (ii) promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, will deliver to the Administrative Agent or such Lender the applicable Flood Insurance Documents and such other evidence of compliance, including evidence of annual
renewals of such insurance, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and as shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender. 

SECTION 5.09. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, (a) keep
proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct (in all material respects) entries in accordance with GAAP and applicable law are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities and (b) permit
any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (to the extent accompanying the Administrative Agent or any designated representative thereof) (including employees of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any consultants,
accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent), upon reasonable prior notice (but in no event more than once each fiscal year of the Company unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to visit and inspect
its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and, accompanied by one or more such officers or their designees if requested


  
 115 








 
by the Company, independent accountants, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as reasonably requested. The Loan Parties shall have the right to have a
representative present at any and all inspections. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to conduct appraisals or field examinations shall be governed exclusively by Sections 5.12 and
5.13, respectively, and shall not be limited by this Section. 
 SECTION 5.10. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will, and will
cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all laws (including Environmental Laws and orders of any Governmental Authority) applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.11. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Loans made, and
Letters of Credit issued, on or after the Fifth Restatement Effective Date will be used for working capital, capital expenditures, and other lawful corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries (including acquisitions,
investments and restricted payments to the extent permitted under this Agreement). No part of the proceeds of any Loan and no Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the
Regulations of the Board of Governors, including Regulations T, U and X. 
 SECTION 5.12. Appraisals. The Loan Parties will
provide to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the Administrative Agent’s request, appraisals (or updates thereof) of the Inventory of the Loan Parties from appraisers selected and engaged by the Administrative Agent, prepared on a
basis consistent in all material respects with the inventory appraisals delivered pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (with such adjustments as shall be deemed appropriate to reflect events or changes in circumstances after the dates of such
appraisals); provided that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request only one such appraisal in any period of 12 consecutive months, except that (a) at any time when Availability shall have been less than the greater of
(i) 17.5% of the Credit Limit then in effect and (ii) $70,000,000 for three consecutive Business Days, the Administrative Agent may request a second appraisal during such period, (b) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, there shall be no limitation on the number of appraisals that the Administrative Agent may request and (c) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have consummated any Permitted Acquisition, the Administrative Agent may
request a separate appraisal of the Inventory acquired thereby to the extent the Loan Parties desire to include such Inventory in Eligible Inventory. For purposes of the foregoing, it is understood that a single appraisal may consist of appraisals
of the assets of each Loan Party and may be conducted at multiple sites. The first appraisal requested during any period of 12 consecutive months shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties unless (A) Availability shall have been equal to or
greater than 70% of the Credit Limit at all times during the period of 12 consecutive months preceding such request and (B) such appraisal is not requested pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the proviso in the first sentence of this Section,
in which case the Loan Parties shall not be responsible for the expense of such appraisal. Any appraisal requested pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of 

  
 116 








 
this Section shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties, except in the case of clause (a) thereof, if prior to the Administrative Agent’s request for a second appraisal, Availability
shall have been greater than or equal to the greater of (x) 17.5% of the Credit Limit then in effect and (y) $70,000,000 for 30 consecutive days, in which case the Loan Parties shall not be responsible for the expense of such second
appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent may request one appraisal in any calendar year in addition to those authorized by the preceding sentences of this Section;
provided that the Loan Parties will not be responsible for the expense of appraisals conducted pursuant to this sentence. 
 SECTION
5.13. Field Examinations. At any time that the Administrative Agent requests, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will allow the Administrative Agent to conduct, or engage a third party to conduct, field examinations (or updates
thereof) upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours to ensure the adequacy of Collateral included in the Borrowing Base and related reporting and control systems; provided that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
conduct only one such field examination in any period of 12 consecutive months, except that (a) at any time when Availability shall have been less than the greater of (i) 17.5% of the Credit Limit then in effect and (ii) $70,000,000
for three consecutive Business Days, the Administrative Agent may conduct a second field examination during such period, (b) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, there shall be no limitation on the number of field
examinations that the Administrative Agent may conduct and (c) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have consummated any Permitted Acquisition, the Administrative Agent may conduct a separate field examination of the Collateral
acquired thereby to the extent the Loan Parties desire to include such Collateral in the Borrowing Base. For purposes of the foregoing, it is understood that a single field examination may consist of examinations of the assets of each Loan Party and
may be conducted at multiple sites. The first field examination requested during any period of 12 consecutive months shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties unless (A) Availability shall have been equal to or greater than 70% of the Credit
Limit at all times during the period of 12 consecutive months preceding such request and (B) such field examination is not requested pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of the proviso in the first sentence of this Section, in which case the Loan
Parties shall not be responsible for the expense of such field examination. Any field examination requested pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of this Section shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties, except in the case of clause
(a) thereof, if prior to the Administrative Agent’s request for a second field examination, Availability shall have been greater than or equal to the greater of (x) 17.5% of the Credit Limit then in effect and (y) $70,000,000 for
30 consecutive days, in which case the Loan Parties shall not be responsible for the expense of such second field examination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent may conduct,
or engage a third party to conduct, one field examination in any calendar year in addition to those authorized by the preceding sentences of this Section; provided that the Loan Parties will not be responsible for the expense of field
examinations conducted pursuant to this sentence. 
 SECTION 5.14. Depository Banks. The Loan Parties will, and will cause the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain the Administrative Agent or one or more Lenders 

  
 117 








 
acceptable to the Administrative Agent as their principal depository bank, including for the maintenance of operating, administrative, cash management, collection activity, and other Deposit
Accounts for the conduct of their business; provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to satisfy the foregoing requirement with respect to (a) the Deposit Accounts of the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries maintained with
any financial institution with which the Acquired Company or any such subsidiary maintained a Deposit Account prior to the Fourth Restatement Effective Date or (b) any Deposit Account that is an Excluded Deposit Account. 

SECTION 5.15. Further Assurances. The Loan Parties will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and
instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents) that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied at all times, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time
upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents. 

SECTION 5.16. Credit Card Agreements and Notifications. Each Loan Party will (a) comply in all material respects with all its
obligations under each Credit Card Agreement to which it is party and (b) maintain credit card arrangements solely with the credit card issuers and credit card processors identified in Section 3.18 of the Disclosure Letter;
provided, however, that the Company may amend Section 3.18 of the Disclosure Letter to remove any credit card issuer or credit card processor identified in such Section of the Disclosure Letter or to add additional credit card
issuers and credit card processors that are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and concurrently with the making of any such amendment the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent evidence that a Credit
Card Notification shall have been delivered to any credit card issuer or credit card processor added to such Section of the Disclosure Letter. 

SECTION 5.17. Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company may at any time designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other
than the Acquired Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) both before and after giving effect to such designation, the Payment Conditions are satisfied and (b) no Subsidiary may be
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) it owns any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” (or comparable definition) for the purpose of the Term Credit Agreement, any
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof or any other Specified Indebtedness. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Loan Parties therein at the date of designation in an amount equal
to the fair market value of the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ (as applicable) Investments therein. 

  
 118 








 SECTION 5.18. Post Closing Requirements. The Loan Parties shall satisfy each of the
requirements set forth in the Post-Closing Letter Agreement on or before the date specified in the Post-Closing Letter Agreement for each such requirement, or such later date as may be permitted with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of the
Post-Closing Letter Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII 
 The
Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent
in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan
Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such
jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and 

  
 136 








 
agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by 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 to be necessary, under
the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document
or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
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 to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender,
and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate
(including any Borrowing Base Certificate), report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) qualification of (or lapse of any qualification of) any Account or Inventory under the eligibility criteria
set forth herein, other than eligibility criteria expressly referring to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to, or being determined by, the Administrative Agent, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (v) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein as being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Borrower or any Lender as a result of any determination


  
 137 








 
of the Aggregate Credit Exposure, the Borrowing Base or the component amounts of any of the foregoing. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate
(including any Borrowing Base Certificate), consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be
entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan
Documents for being the maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or
amendment of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or amendment of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts 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 or experts 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or
under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any of and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the bad faith, negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines
in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor that is an Eligible
Successor Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its


  
 138 








 
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which is an Eligible Successor Agent, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The
fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the
effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the
Lender Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent,
shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative
Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of
any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to
each Lender and each Issuing Bank. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set
forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above. 

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any
Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and
Issuing Bank also 

  
 139 








 
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing,
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender and Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to the Fifth Restatement
Agreement and funding its Loans on the Fifth Restatement Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, shall be
deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Fifth Restatement
Effective Date. 
 The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may prepare and distribute to the Lenders Reports
containing information obtained by the Administrative Agent through the conduct of appraisals and field examinations pursuant to Sections 5.12 and 5.13 and the exercise of its inspection rights under Section 5.09. Each Lender hereby agrees that
(a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any
Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan
Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan
Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend,
and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or
indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 Except with respect to
the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Lender Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in accordance with the terms 

  
 140 








 
thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lender Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective
individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public
sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties at such sale or other disposition. In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation thereof, no agreement giving rise to Banking Services Obligations or Swap Obligations that constitute Secured Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Party that is a party thereto any rights in
connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the
Collateral, except to the extent such failure is the result of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. 

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC
Exposure and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive
any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments 

  
 141 








 
directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Lender Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan
Documents (including under Section 9.03). 
 The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a
third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Lender Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Loan Guarantee provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.19. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person
named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank),
but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. 
 The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative
Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Lender Parties within the meaning of the term “secured
party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. In the event
that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Lender Parties
any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties. 

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on
federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). The Administrative Agent will post on the Platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender) documents that
it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, the Administrative Agent reminds each Lender and Participant that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant) is responsible for
assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements. 

  
 142 








 Each Lender (a) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party
hereto, to and (b) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using
“plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the
Revolving Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset

involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a
class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the
Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving
Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. 

In addition, unless clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided
another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in clause (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (a) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to and
(b) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the
avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, that: (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender
(including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto), (ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of
such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, 

  
 143 








 
total assets of at least $50,000,000, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E), (iii) the Person making the investment decision
on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks
independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Obligations), (iv) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into,
participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this
Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder and (v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any their respective Affiliates
for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments or this Agreement. 

The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment
advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the Transactions in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (a) may receive interest
or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (b) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Revolving Commitments for an amount less than the
amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Revolving Commitments by such Lender or (c) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the Transactions, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including
structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, fronting fees, deal-away or
alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party
rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent
or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform. 

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of
a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

  
 146 








 (b) Except as provided in Sections 2.09(e), 2.14(b), 5.16 or 9.02(d), and except for the
execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreements, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan
Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (A) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the
Administrative Agent to cure any technical error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, (1) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or (2) the Lenders shall have received at least
five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days 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 and (B) no such agreement shall (1) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances and
Overadvances as set forth in Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable), (2) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (3) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations
payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (4) change
Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (5) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories
of eligible assets, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (6) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority
Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender, (7) change Section 2.20 without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (8) release Loan Guarantors representing all or substantially all the value of the Loan Guarantees from their obligation
under such Loan Guarantees (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (9) except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release
all or substantially all Liens on the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to
Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the 

  
 147 








 
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks). The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01 to reflect increases in the Revolving Commitments in the manner contemplated by
Section 2.09 or assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. 
 (c) The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, (i) to release or to subordinate any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (A) upon the termination of all the
Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender,
(B) constituting property being sold, disposed of or transferred, if the Loan Party selling, disposing of or transferring such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold, disposed of or transferred constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a
Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guarantee provided by such Subsidiary, (C) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited
under this Agreement and (D) as required to effect any sale, disposition or other transfer of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, (ii) to release
any Loan Guarantee provided by any Subsidiary that may be dissolved pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(iv) in connection with a voluntary liquidation or dissolution thereof permitted by such Section and, in connection therewith, to release any Liens
granted to the Administrative Agent by such Subsidiary on any Collateral, if the Company certifies to the Administrative Agent that such liquidation or dissolution is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent
may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) to release any Loan Guarantee provided by any Excluded Subsidiary and, in connection therewith, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by such
Subsidiary on any Collateral and to release any pledge of voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary in excess of 65% of the aggregate voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, (iv) to release any Loan Guarantee provided by any Subsidiary
that becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary and, in connection therewith, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by such Subsidiary on any Collateral and to release any pledge of Equity Interests of such
Subsidiary and (v) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(d) or 6.02(e). The
Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby further irrevocably authorize the release or subordination of Liens on the Term Priority Collateral as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Except as provided above and in paragraphs (b) and (d) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent will not release or subordinate any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release or subordinate
its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge,


  
 148 








 
affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released or subordinated) upon (or obligations 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. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to a Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a
transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Collateral Document in any Collateral pursuant to this Section, the security interests in such
Collateral created by the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s
expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any
Lender Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement or in any Collateral Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth
in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each
Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity;
Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent,
the Arrangers and their Affiliates, and if deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the syndication and
distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers

 149 








 
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.09, 5.12 and 5.13, expenses subject to
reimbursement by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 

(i) appraisals and insurance reviews; 

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the
Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination; 

(iii) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) filing financing statements and continuations, and

 (v)
forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. 

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in
Section 2.18(c). 
 (b) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein and the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement
or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the 

  
 150 








 
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether such proceeding is initiated against or by any party to this Agreement (including the Company), or any
Affiliate thereof, by an Indemnitee or any third party or whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties,
liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from a material
breach by such Indemnitee of its agreements hereunder (other than any unintentional breach that is corrected promptly after such Indemnitee becomes aware thereof), or (B) have arisen from a proceeding by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee
not involving any act or omission of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than a proceeding against the Administrative Agent, an Arranger, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as such). This
Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Other Taxes or any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim). 

(c) To the extent the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such
sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. 
 (d) To the
extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 9.04. 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 (including any Affiliate of any 

  
 151 








 
Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section. 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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues
any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower Representative;
provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default referred to in clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII
has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided that if the Borrower Representative has not provided written notice of its objection to any proposed assignment within 10 Business Days of its receipt thereof from the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment; 
 (B) the
Administrative Agent; 
 (C) the Swingline Lender; provided that if the Swingline Lender has not provided written
notice of its objection to any proposed assignment within 10 Business Days of its receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment; and 

(D) each Issuing Bank; provided that if any Issuing Bank has not provided written notice of its objection to any
proposed assignment within 10 Business Days of its receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

  
 152 








 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no
such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default referred to in clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing; provided that if the Borrower Representative has not
provided written notice of its objection to any proposed assignment within 10 Business Days of its receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment; 

(B) 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; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Tax forms required by
Section 2.17(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information
about the Company, the Subsidiaries and other Affiliates thereof or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including
Federal, State and foreign securities laws. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a


  
 153 








 
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the
Loans and LC Disbursements 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks 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 notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of
Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d), 2.06(e), 2.07(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell
participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to
it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;
provided that such agreement or 

  
 154 








 
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (B) of the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders or all the affected Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating
Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Representative’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to
any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain records of 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”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 

  
 155 








 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by
the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and
shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any Loan Document was executed and delivered or became effective or any credit was extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such
Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including for purposes of determining whether the Borrower is required to comply with Article V or Article VI, but excluding Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.03 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity provisions set forth in any
other Loan Document), and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Sections 2.06(d) or 2.06(e). The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments
or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic
Execution. This Agreement may be executed (including through execution of the Fifth Restatement Agreement) in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on 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, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable or indemnities and expense reimbursements owed to the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers, the Issuing Banks or their Related Parties, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Fifth Restatement Agreement and Section 4.01 and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns. Delivery of an 

  
 156 








 
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement, the Fifth Restatement Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or the Fifth Restatement Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be
signed in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing
herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured
Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such
set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A
CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO BANKS. 

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of
the State of New York 

  
 157 








 
sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

  
 158 








 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (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), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with
rating the Company or the Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Company, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers;
provided that, in the case of clause (c) above, the party disclosing such information shall provide to the Company prior written notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law (and to the extent commercially feasible
under the circumstances) and shall cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, in obtaining a protective order for, or other confidential treatment of, such disclosure, in each case at the Company’s sole expense. For the
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or their businesses or the Collateral, other than (i) any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and (ii) information pertaining to this
Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the Fourth Restatement
Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 
 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND
CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-

  
 159 








 
PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL
AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THE
SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE
INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and
not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of applicable law. 
 SECTION
9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the Loan
Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 9.15. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected by possession. Should any
Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to
the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 
 SECTION
9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with 

  
 160 








 
all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each
Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, the Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication
or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in
connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the
accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, the Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the
Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company, the Subsidiaries or its other Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby
waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates with respect to any
breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 9.18.
Joinder of Subsidiaries. Upon the execution and delivery by a Designated Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and delivery to the Administrative Agent of such
documents and opinions with respect to such Designated Subsidiary as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent, such Designated Subsidiary shall become a Loan Guarantor hereunder, with the same force and effect as if originally named
as such herein (and, if the Company shall so desire and such Joinder Agreement shall so specify and the conditions of Section 2.22 shall be met, a Borrowing Subsidiary), and without the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and
obligations of each 

  
 161 








 
Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Subsidiary as a party to this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.19. Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Each of the Lenders (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 9.19
includes each Issuing Bank) and the other Lender Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties under the Term Credit Agreement are (and obligations in respect of any other Permitted Term Indebtedness may in the
future be) secured by Liens on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties that constitute Collateral and that the relative Lien priorities and other creditor rights of the Lender Parties and the secured parties under the Term Credit
Agreement (or in respect of such other Permitted Term Indebtedness) will be set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders and the other Lender Parties hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Each of the Lenders and the other Lender Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Lender Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by
such Lender Party, the Intercreditor Agreement and any documents relating thereto. 
 (b) Each of the Lenders and the other Lender Parties
hereby irrevocably (i) consents to the treatment of Liens provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement, including to the subordination of the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing the Secured Obligations on the terms set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Lender Party will be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) agrees that no Lender Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 9.19 or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to carry out the provisions and intent of each such document and (v) authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent to take such actions as shall be required to release Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(c) Each of the Lenders and the other Lender Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and
deliver, in each case on behalf of such Lender Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of the Intercreditor Agreement that the Borrowers may from
time to time request and that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Secured Obligations or the Indebtedness
under the Term Credit Agreement or any Permitted Term Indebtedness, (ii) to confirm for any party that the Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties or (iii) to effect
any other amendment, supplement or modification permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

  
 162 








 (d) Each of the Lenders and the other Lender Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and
directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Lender Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any
Collateral Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (e) The Administrative
Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section 9.19 or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent
thereof. 
 SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any related agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, 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: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in
full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into
shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, 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 
 (iii) 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. 

ARTICLE X 
 Loan Guarantee

 SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely,
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Lender Parties, the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated 

  
 163 








 
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against,
any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”);
provided, that the guarantee of any Subsidiary Loan Party will not apply to any Swap Obligation if and to the extent that it would be unlawful for such Subsidiary Loan Party to guarantee such Swap Obligation under the Commodity Exchange Act
or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Subsidiary Loan Party’s failure for any reason (and after giving effect to the
guarantees by the other Loan Guarantors of the Secured Obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party) to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Loan
Party becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound
upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.02. Guarantee of Payment. This Loan Guarantee is a Guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Loan
Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party to sue any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or to enforce its rights against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guarantee. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of
each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including:
(i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or
ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or its assets or any
resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction. 

  
 164 








 (b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by
any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 
 (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are
not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity
of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action
or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any
Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 
 SECTION
10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken
by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its
election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part
of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guarantee except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor
waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any
Obligated Party or any security. 

  
 165 








 SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or
cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their
obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the other Lender Parties. 
 SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement;
Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan
Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guarantee with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or the other
Lender Parties are in possession of this Loan Guarantee. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’
financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guarantee, and
agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 

SECTION 10.08. Taxes. The provisions of Section 2.17 shall apply mutatis mutandis to all payments by the Loan
Guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guarantee are severable,
and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this
Loan Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan
Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or
proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights
of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent
necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the 

  
 166 








 
Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the
Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

SECTION 10.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments
under this Loan Guarantee or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guarantee, each other Loan Guarantor (each a
“Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Applicable Share of such payment
or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a
Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without
giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies
received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the Original Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan
Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan
Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the Original Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan
Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan
Guarantee from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 

SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and
shall be cumulative with all other liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations
or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 

  
 167

representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative
of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI.

Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section. 
 SECTION 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may
exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no
implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative. 

SECTION 11.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder
and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers. 
 SECTION 11.04. Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately
notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives
such a notice, the Borrower Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by
the Borrower Representative. 
 SECTION 11.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to
the Lenders. 
 SECTION 11.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize
the Borrower Representative,

necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the
Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 11.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish
promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative any certificate or report requested by the Borrower Representative, on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance
Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
