 AMENDMENT AGREEMENT dated as of February 19, 2010 (this “Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement dated as
of December 1, 2006 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Original Credit Agreement”), among FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR HOLDINGS V, INC.

 A. Pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended credit to the Borrower. 
 B. The Borrower has informed the Lenders that the Borrower desires the ability to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity of all

 D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Restated Credit Agreement
(as defined below) or, if not defined therein, in the Original Credit Agreement. 
 Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual
agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Amendment and Restatement. Effective as of the Restatement Effective Date (as defined below), (i) the Original Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in the form of
Exhibit A hereto (the Original Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, being referred to as the “Restated Credit Agreement”), (ii) Schedule 2.01(a) attached hereto is hereby incorporated as Schedule 2.01(a)

 SECTION 2. Concerning the Term Loans made on the Closing Date. (a) On the
Restatement Effective Date, each Term Loan made on the Closing Date and outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date will be deemed converted into an Original Maturity Term Loan or an Extended Maturity Term Loan in such principal amounts as
correspond to the principal amounts set forth on Schedule 2.01(a). 
 (b) Each Term Loan made on the Closing Date and
outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan will be converted into an Original Maturity Term Loan or an Extended Maturity Term Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan in the
same proportion as the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date. The initial Interest Period applicable to each Original Maturity Term Loan and
Extended Maturity Term Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be the then-current Interest Period applicable to the Term Loan from which it is converted, with no conversion into a different Interest Period or payment or prepayment of such Loan
being deemed to have occurred solely due to the Amendment or the transactions described herein or in the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. Breakage. Each Lender that consents to this Amendment by executing and delivering a counterpart signature page hereof hereby waives the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender under Section 3.05 of the

Section 2.05(c)(i)(x) of the Restated Credit Agreement shall provide the information requested on the Lender signature page to this Amendment. 
 SECTION 5. Fees. In consideration of the agreements of the Lenders contained in this Amendment, Holdings, Foreign Holdings, the Borrower and Parent jointly and severally agree to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) that delivers an executed counterpart of this Amendment prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on February 12, 2010, an amendment fee
(collectively, the “Amendment Fees”) in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, if any, and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whether used or unused), if
any, as of the Restatement Effective Date (without giving effect to the repayment of Loans or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments with the proceeds of the Initial Senior Secured Notes Issuance). The Amendment Fee shall be payable in
immediately available funds and, once paid, such fee or any part thereof shall not be refundable. 
 SECTION 6.

pursuant to Section2.02 (each such loan, an “Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day until the Maturity Date, in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount

 62 








 
this Section 2.01(b). Dollar Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein, and Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans (other than
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars which may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans) must be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the
other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than

or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii)three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars), and (iii)one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section2.02(a)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of (x)$2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans or (y)1,500,000 or a whole multiple of 500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Alternative Currency Loans denominated
in Sterling. Except as provided in Sections2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (i)whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type
to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii)the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii)the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or
continued, (iv)the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated, (v)the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and (vi)if applicable, the duration of the
Interest Period with respect thereto. If with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the
applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give a timely notice
requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency is specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.

  

 63 








 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency (other than
Dollars), in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Citibank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or
L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.

 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may
require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Citibank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit
Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in
effect. 
 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

  

 64 








 (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may, with the Borrower’s consent, assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at
(i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such
amount with interest thereon accruing from the date on which the Administrative Agent made the funds available to the Borrower at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. If such
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) shall cease. 
 SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.

 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or
direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer
is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the

the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the

will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of (y) each
Dollar Letter of Credit, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
the product of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Dollar Letter of Credit and (z) each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit

 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C
Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice
Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C
Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to
an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day
that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not
then satisfied. 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an
advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C
Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. On the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower shall have received
such notice later than 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day) (each such date, an Honor Date), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount
of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar
Amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency) (the Unreimbursed Amount), and the amount of such Lenders Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, (y)in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Dollar Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have requested a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (z) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars), in each case to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed
Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section2.02 for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving

  

 68 








 
Credit Commitments of such Lenders and Revolving Credit Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice
given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C
Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer. Each Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C
Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section4.02 cannot be satisfied
or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer a Dollar L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Dollar L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer pursuant to Section2.03(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Dollar L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Dollar L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section2.03. With respect to any Unreimbursed
Amount in respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit
denominated in Dollars) because the conditions set forth in Section4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer an Alternative Currency L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer pursuant to Section2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in

  

 69 








 
respect of its participation in such Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Alternative Currency L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant
to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

 (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under
any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer
shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (vii) If, at any time after an L/C
Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as
those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (viii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by

  

 70 








 
such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 
 (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of
Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan
Party or Guarantor may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

 (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations any Loan Party or Guarantor in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or Guarantor; 
 provided that the
foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. 
  

 71 








 (e) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to
the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks
of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or
responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and
such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds
thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (f) Cash Collateral.
(i) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c) or (ii) an Event of
Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date
of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received
on such day prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding
clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash
Collateralize” means to pledge

  

 72 








 
and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit
account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and
all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at Citibank and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds
held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at Citibank as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of
(a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any
Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then
Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. If such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring
and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Borrower. 
 (g) Letter of Credit Fees.

 (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender
in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Dollar Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit
(whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Dollar Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Dollar Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such
Dollar Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date relating to Dollar Letters of Credit and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Dollar Letter of
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum

  

 73 








 
amount then available to be drawn under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit if such
maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars
on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date relating to
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (h) Fronting Fee
and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily
maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit).
Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of
demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (j) Addition of an L/C Issuer. 
 (i) A Dollar Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Dollar L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Dollar L/C Issuer. 
 (ii) An Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Alternative Currency L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Alternative Currency L/C Issuer. 
  

 74 








 SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans. 
 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each
such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date for the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Dollar L/C Obligations of the Lender
acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of
any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment then in effect; provided further that, the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an
amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of
$25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or
in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender
not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

  

 75 








 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 
 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request
shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the
applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available
to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Dollar Revolving Credit
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders
fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled
to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line
Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each

  

 76 








 
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of
such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned
by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line
Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The
Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 
 SECTION 2.05. Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional. 
 (i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than

in Dollars, (B) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars) and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of (x) $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans or (y) £1,500,000 or a whole multiple of £500,000 in excess
thereof in the case of

  

 77 








 
Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Sterling; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or,
in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and
Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest
thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of principal of, and interest on, Alternative Currency Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative Currency (even if Borrower is required to
convert currency to do so). Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time
that Original Maturity Term Loans or New Term Loans remain outstanding, all prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be applied to the Original Maturity Term Loans and the New Term Loans only (but not to the Extended
Maturity Term Loans), with such prepayment being applied in accordance with such Original Maturity Term Lenders’ and New Term Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time,
voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing Line Loans shall
be denominated in Dollars only. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may
rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 

(b) Mandatory. 
 (i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall cause to
be prepaid an aggregate Dollar Amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial
statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans
during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving

  

 78 








 
Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not
funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than 4.0 and greater than or equal to 3.0 and
(y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than 3.0. 
 (ii) (A) If (x) Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c),
(d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition by any Restricted Subsidiary to a Loan Party), (e), (g), (h), (m) or (o)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by Parent or such
Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds an aggregate Dollar Amount of Term
Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that (1) no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A), with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the
Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing) and (2) to the extent any applicable New Senior Secured Notes Indenture requires the Borrower to prepay or make an offer to purchase such New Senior Secured Notes with such Net Cash Proceeds, the amount of prepayment required
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loans and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the New Senior Secured Notes with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loans; provided further that the Borrower shall not be permitted to reinvest any such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) below if the Borrower applies any such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or purchase New
Senior Secured Notes and if the Borrower makes any such prepayment or purchase of New Senior Secured Notes, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loans in accordance with this paragraph within one (1) Business Day of such prepayment or purchase of New
Senior Secured Notes without giving effect to clause (1) of the proviso above). 
 (B) With respect to any Net Cash
Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all
or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business (or with respect to Designated 300 Millimeter Disposition Proceeds, in a Permitted 300 Millimeter Disposition Proceeds Purpose) within (x) fifteen (15) months
following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (provided that such time limitations shall not apply to Designated 300 Millimeter Disposition Proceeds) or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash
Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof or (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment;
provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such

  

 79 








 
reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are no
longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably
determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans or New Senior Secured Notes as set forth in this Section 2.05. 
 (iii) If Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to
Section 7.03, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate Dollar Amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net
Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) If for any reason the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the Dollar L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount
equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the Dollar L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans
and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. If for any reason the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. 
 (v) (X) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a); and (Y) each
such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b). 
 (vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any
mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a
“Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the

  

 80 








 
Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection
Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above
or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to
the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment (with such non-declining Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such
non-declining Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower. 
 (c) New Senior Secured Notes Proceeds. 
 (i) If the Borrower incurs or
issues any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03(w) (other than a Permitted Refinancing of Indebtedness incurred or issued thereunder), the Borrower shall (x) in the case of the Initial Senior Secured
Notes Issuance, substantially contemporaneously with such incurrence or issuance (and in no event more than one (1) Business Day following the date of such incurrence or issuance), prepay the principal amount of the Term Loans (for the
avoidance of doubt, the Original Maturity Term Loans, the Extended Maturity Term Loans and the New Term Loans) of each of the Term Lenders in accordance with such Term Lender’s respective pro rata share of Term Loans hereunder, in an aggregate
Dollar Amount equal to not less than 85% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Senior Secured Notes Issuance and (y) in the case of any issuance of any New Senior Secured Notes (other than the Initial Senior Secured Notes Issuance),
substantially contemporaneously with such incurrence or issuance (and in no event more than one (1) Business Day following the date of such incurrence or issuance), prepay the principal amount of the Original Maturity Term Loans and the New
Term Loans of each of the Original Maturity Term Lenders and the New Term Lenders (and, if no Original Maturity Term Loans or New Term Loans are outstanding, prepay the principal amount of the Extended Maturity Term Loans of each of the Extended
Maturity Term Lenders) in accordance with such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of such Term Loans to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) in an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance
(which prepayment of principal, in the case of both (x) and (y) above, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, premiums and fees and expenses associated with such principal amount prepaid). 
 (ii) (X) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments
thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a); and (Y) each such prepayment shall be paid to the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. For purposes of Section 10.01(d), Section 2.05(c)(ii)(Y)
shall be treated the same as Section 2.05(b)(v)(Y). 
 (iii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing
of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.05(c) on or prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the

  

 81 








 
date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of the
Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. With respect to any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i)(x), each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its
Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayment by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as specified in the Amendment Agreement. With respect to any mandatory prepayment required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.05(c)(i)(y), each New Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of New Term Loans required to be made pursuant to such clause at any time that Original Maturity Term Loans remain
outstanding by providing a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such
prepayment. Each such Rejection Notice from a given New Term Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of New Term Loans to be rejected by such New Term Lender. If a Lender fails to reject such prepayment as specified in
the Amendment Agreement or fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, as applicable, any such
failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the applicable Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment (with such non-declining Lenders having the
right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined
Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(c)(iii) if such prepayment would have resulted from an issuance of New Senior Secured Notes, which issuance shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be
delayed. 
 (d) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all
accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 3.05. 
 Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor and less than three months are remaining in such Interest
Period, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such
prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the
Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the

  

 82 








 
Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding
Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. 
 SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. 
 (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused
Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Dollar
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be
applied to the Dollar Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such
termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a)(i). The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date for each such Facility. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Dollar Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the Swing Line
Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by
which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable account of the Original Maturity Term Lenders and the Extended Maturity Term Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of March 2007, an
aggregate Dollar Amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, it being understood that such Term Loans were converted into Original Maturity Term Loans and Extended Maturity Term Loans on
the Restatement Effective Date from Term Loans made on the Closing Date and such Term Loans will continue to be paid their ratable share of such

  

 83 








 
amortization payments (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05) and (ii) on the
applicable Maturity Date for such Class of Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all such Term Loans outstanding on such date. The Borrower shall repay the New Term Loans as specified in Section 3(d) of Amendment No. 2. 

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Lenders
on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the
United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Dollar Revolving Credit
Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, each Alternative Currency Loan (other than an Alternative Currency Loan denominated in Dollars) shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Each New Term Loan shall bear interest as specified in Section 3(c) of
Amendment No. 2. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as
may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 84 








 SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(g)
and (h): 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
(i) Dollar Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment
exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of Dollar L/C Obligations; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that
such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as
such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (ii) Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by
which the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of Alternative Currency L/C Obligations;
provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time
shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no
commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fees shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the
Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in
the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 
  

 85 








 SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base
Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Citibank’s “prime rate” and for Alternative Currency Loans denominated in Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and actual days
elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue
on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by
each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of
the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to
such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the
Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and
payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 
  

 86 








 SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally. 
 (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars), all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars) shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the
Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent
(i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency (other than Dollars), shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business
Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due
on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
 (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to
the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but
shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then: 
 (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the
portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and 
  

 87 








 (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith
on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is
recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all
accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such
Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with
interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice
any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to
fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or
purchase its participation. 
 (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth

  

 88 








 
in Section 8.04. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties and Guarantors under or in respect of the Loan Documents under
circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the
outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as
expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in
each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
 SECTION 2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions. 
 (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the
Lenders), request (a) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving
Commitment Increase”), provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment

  

 89 








 
referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall
exist. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents
all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed the Incremental
Availability. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to the
Term Loans and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as the Term Loans made on the Closing Date (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions
applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable
to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or
Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (and each existing Term Lender will have the right, but not an obligation, to make a portion of any
Incremental Term Loan, and each existing Revolving Credit Lender will have the right, but not an obligation, to provide a portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative
Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under
Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in
the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Parent, Foreign Holdings, Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the
Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of (and, in the case of any Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction
on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar
language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the

  

 90 








 
Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving
Commitment Increases, unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section, each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and
without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and
assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such
Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (b) if, on the date
of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Credit Loans made
hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence. 
 (b) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

 SECTION 2.15. Currency Equivalents. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Alternative Currency Loan and L/C Obligation in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than
Dollars) (i) in the case of any Term Loan, as of the Closing Date, and (ii) otherwise, (A) as of the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, and shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it. Each such determination shall be based on the Exchange Rate (x) on the date of the related Committed Loan Notice for purposes of the initial such
determination for any Alternative Currency Loan and (y) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination. 
 (b) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans and the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect by 5% or more, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice
thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay or cause to be prepaid outstanding Alternative Currency Revolving

  

 91 








 
Credit Loans or take other action (including, in the Borrower’s discretion, cash collateralization of Alternative Currency L/C Obligations in amounts from time to time equal to such excess)
to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess. 
 ARTICLE III 
 Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 
 SECTION 3.01. Taxes. 
 (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01,
any and all payments by the Borrower (the term Borrower under Article 3 being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and
interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the
jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with
respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by
any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if
receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to
the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent
or such Lender arising out of such failure. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or

  

 92 








 
designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the
Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such
amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor. 
 (d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such
Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender or Agent or
a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from
any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law). 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender or an Agent is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a
rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, U.S. federal withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S.
federal withholding tax which is excluded from Taxes under this clause (e)) imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is subject to a lesser rate of withholding
and provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon U.S. federal withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms for which such lesser rate applies;
provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of
U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include the U.S. federal withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. A Lender that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Bermuda withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice

  

 93 








 
the legal position of such Lender or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender; provided, further, that the Borrower, shall reimburse such Lender for any material
out-of-pocket costs that are incurred by the Lender with respect to providing any such documentation. 
 (f) If any Lender or
Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01,
it shall use its reasonable best efforts to receive such refund and upon receipt of any such refund shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be,
agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with
a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems
confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or
disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments
to which it may be entitled. 
 (g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of
Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c). 
 SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully

  

 94 








 
continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending
Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan
does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 SECTION 3.04.
Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (a) If any Lender determines
that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make
or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this
Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender,
(iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) or (iv) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth
below) or the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent the cost to such Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its
making, funding or maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction or, if applicable, the portion of such cost that is not represented
by the Mandatory Cost. 
  

 95 








 (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or
any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of
such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand. 
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the
Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or
Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the
Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation,
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the
date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) If any Lender requests
compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that
such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this
Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d). 
  


 96 








 SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) (i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than
the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 
 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be
deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or
not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for
Compensation. 
 (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the
Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods. 
 (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, no
Borrower shall be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that,
if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under
Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate
Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the
right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from
one Interest Period to another any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically
converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate

  

 97 








 
conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 
 (i) to the
extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans;
and 
 (ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such
Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 
 (d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03
or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 
 (a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any
condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any
Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated
to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations
with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to
the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have
agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. 
  

 98 








 (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute
and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or
Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (other than, if applicable, the prepayment premium
pursuant to Section 2.16, which shall be payable by the Borrower) to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee
Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and
participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral
into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be
replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09. 
 (d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all
affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not
agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 
 SECTION 3.08.
Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Subsidiaries for the most recent fiscal year, the quarter ended September 29, 2006 and the 12-month period ending on September 29, 2006 (together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”),
copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date or at the beginning of such periods, as the case may be) to the Transaction, each material
acquisition by Freescale or any of its Subsidiaries consummated after September 29, 2006 and prior to the Closing Date and all other transactions that would be required to be given pro forma effect by Regulation S-X promulgated under the
Exchange Act (including other adjustments consistent with the definition of Pro Forma Adjustment or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Arrangers). The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith, based on
assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at September 29,
2006 and their estimated results of operations for the periods covered thereby, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date or at the beginning of the periods covered thereby.

threatened in writing or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues that either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

utilize such assets for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 7.01 and except where the failure to have such title or other interest could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

proceedings alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of, or otherwise relating to, any Environmental Law that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 103 








 
release, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any site, location or operation, either voluntarily or pursuant to the order of any Governmental Authority or the requirements of any
Environmental Law except for such investigation or assessment or remedial or response action that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) All Hazardous Materials transported from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries for off-site disposal have been disposed of in a manner not reasonably expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 5.11.
ERISA Compliance. 
 (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.11(a) or as could not, either individually or in the

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 projected financial information and pro forma financial

rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted, and, without conflict with the rights of any Person, except to the extent such conflicts,
either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no such IP Rights infringe upon any rights held by any Person except for such infringements, individually
or in the aggregate, which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any such IP Rights, is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any Loan Party or Subsidiary,
which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and 
 Last, the balance, if any, after
all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 Subject to Section 2.03(c),
amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral
after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 Administrative Agent and Other Agents 
 SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein,

doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article 9 and in the definition of “Agent-Related
Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C
Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust
for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9
(including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact including for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in Alternative Currencies, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 SECTION 9.03. Liability of
Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of

  

 143 








 
competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation
or warranty made by any Loan Party, any Guarantor or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or
security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books
or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
 SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Agents. 
 (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party or Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.01 of the Original Credit Agreement or Section 4.01 of this Agreement, each Lender that has signed the Original Credit Agreement or the Amendment Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have consented to,
approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender
prior to the proposed closing date specifying its objection thereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such

  

 144 








 
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 8; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made
any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent
herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan
Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
 SECTION 9.07.
Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without
limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any
Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided
that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for
purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall

  

 145 








 
reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not
affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. Citibank and its Affiliates may make loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties, the Guarantors
and their respective Affiliates as though Citibank were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Citibank or its Affiliates
may receive information regarding any Loan Party, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party, such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that
the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as
though it were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Citibank in its individual capacity. 
 SECTION 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the
retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9
and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent
by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform

  

 146 








 
all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may
be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.10.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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 the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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, L/C Obligations and all other 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(g) and (h), 2.09 and 10.04) 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 judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

  

 147 








 SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

 (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under
any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash
Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and any other obligation (including a guarantee that is
contingent in nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Parent,
Foreign Holdings, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below; 
 (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); 
 (c) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such
release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the High Yield Notes, the New Senior Secured Notes or any Junior Financing; 
 (d) if any Guarantor shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), (i) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under any
Guaranty and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor in
respect of the High Yield Notes, the New Senior Secured Notes or any Junior Financing; and 
 (e) at the request
of Parent, the Other Parent Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations under any Guaranty. 
 Upon request
by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative

  

 148 








 
Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other
Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent”, “joint bookrunner” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 
 (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying
or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in
case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a
“Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to
enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan
Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of
this Article 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references
to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
  

 149 








 (c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower, Foreign Holdings, Holdings or Parent, as applicable, shall,
or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Administrative Agent. 
 ARTICLE X 
 Miscellaneous 
 SECTION 10.01. Amendments,
Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective
unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any
Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the
Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (b) postpone any
date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.07 or 2.08 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms
of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of Total Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest; provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay
interest at the Default Rate; 
  

 150 








 (d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of
“Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or Section 2.05(b)(v)(Y), 2.06(c), 8.04 or 2.13 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.05 or Section 10.23, release all or substantially all of
the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04, Section 7.05 or Section 10.23, release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 (g) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated of any Loan without the written consent of the Lender
holding such Loans; 
 and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C
Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iv) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and
(v) the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of any Class of Commitments shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of such Class in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different
than such amendment affects other Classes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may
not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the
Lenders). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the
Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the

  

 151 








 
Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan (“Replacement
Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to
such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term
Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing
(except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans), (d) if applicable, the Borrower shall have paid the prepayment premium pursuant to Section 2.16
in respect of the Refinanced Term Loans and (e) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such
Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents
executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of
the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause
such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 
 (a) General. Unless otherwise
expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. 
  

 152 








 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of
(i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in

mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 
 (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents
and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually
signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Guarantors, the Agents and the Lenders. 
 (c) Reliance by
Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if
(i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any
such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 
 SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower
agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated

  

 153 








 
thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and one
local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other
(reasonable, in the case of Section 10.04(a)) and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other
Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party or Guarantor
fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party or such Guarantor by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer 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), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related
in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including
any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director,
officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a

  

 154 








 
material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any
liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case
of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors,
stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All
amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or
arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender,
or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that none of Parent, Foreign Holdings, Holdings or the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer

  

 155 








 
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) 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 assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, it being understood that the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent if the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make a filing or registration with, a Governmental Agency) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 
 (C) each
Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment, provided that no consent of the Principal L/C Issuers shall be required for any assignment of a Term Loan or any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent; and 
 (D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the 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 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facilities) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be
aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments
from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds; and 
  

 156 








 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (iii) With respect to the New Term Loans only,
Section 3(e) of Amendment No. 2 shall apply. 
 This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning
all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. 
 (c) Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of
its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e). 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it
and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and
amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

  

 157 








 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 10.15), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant
to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under
this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting
Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment
of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
  

 158 








 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in
accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing
to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the
rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of
an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by
it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). 
 SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to
not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other 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 requested by any
Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a

  

 159 








 
Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written
consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the
confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar
service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the
purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to
Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or
any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the
respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of
whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owning by
such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application
made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights

  

 160 








 
of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have. 
 SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent
or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. Each Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to each Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or
deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier. 
 SECTION 10.12.
Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject
matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of
any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 
 SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding. 
  

 161 








 SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION
10.15. Tax Forms. 
 (a) (i) Each Lender and Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning
of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after
the Closing Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or
reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign
Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under
Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a
10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each
such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor
forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this
Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring
a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and
(B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or
payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for

  

 162 








 
its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in
either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or
payable with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States federal withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any
information such Foreign Lender is required to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of
any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender. 
 (iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any
indemnity payment under Section 3.01 to (A) any Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(a), or (B) any U.S. Lender if such U.S. Lender shall have failed to

account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 10.15(a) or Section 10.15(b) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a
result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or
other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a
reduced rate and (ii) nothing in this Section 10.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that the requirements of 10.15(a)(ii) have not been satisfied if the

Documents. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld
from any payment under any of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor thereto, certifying
that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form
expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to
time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the
applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

 164 








 SECTION 10.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could

under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the
“Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement
Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable
Law).

judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or
similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 10.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA
PATRIOT Act. 
 SECTION 10.22. Agent for Service of Process. The Borrower agrees that promptly following request by the
Administrative Agent it shall cause each Material Foreign Subsidiary or for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued to appoint and maintain an agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to receive service of process in New York

 165 








 SECTION 10.23. Foreign Reorganization. 
 (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, Parent and any Restricted
Subsidiary shall be permitted to take any and all actions necessary to consummate the Foreign Reorganization. In the event that any of the Collateral shall be transferred by any Loan Party in connection with the Foreign Reorganization, the Liens
granted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on such Collateral shall automatically be discharged and released and all rights to such Collateral shall revert to the applicable Loan Party without any further action by the Collateral Agent or
any other Person; provided that such Loan Party shall cause any Transferred Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Acquisition Co., as applicable, to take such actions described in the definition of “Foreign Reorganization” as a condition to
such release. Without prejudice to the foregoing, upon the request of the applicable Loan Party, the Collateral Agent, at the expense of such Loan Party, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Loan Party, all releases, termination statements,
stock certificates, any certificated securities or any other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens on such Collateral. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the event that the Foreign
Reorganization is not consummated and to the extent that any Permitted Intercompany Transfer has occurred (or will occur concurrently with such release described herein), any Other Parent Guarantor, Parent and Foreign Holdings, as applicable, shall
(x) be automatically released from their respective obligations under the Guaranty, (y) be automatically released from any and all obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any obligation to comply with the
covenants set forth herein) and any reference to “Parent” or “Foreign Holdings” herein shall be construed as a reference to the Successor Person mutatis mutandis, and (z) any Liens granted hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents by Parent and Foreign Holdings on any Collateral shall automatically be discharged and released, as applicable, without any further action by the Collateral Agent or any other Person. In connection with the foregoing, upon the request
of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, at the expense of Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to any Other Parent Guarantor, Parent, Foreign Holdings or Holdings, as applicable, all releases, termination statements, stock certificates, any
certificated securities or any other documents necessary or desirable for the release of any Other Parent Guarantor, Parent and Foreign Holdings from their obligations under the Loan Documents and the release of the Liens on such Collateral. For the
avoidance of doubt, after any such reorganization as contemplated in this Section 10.23(b) shall have occurred, the Foreign Reorganization shall not be permitted pursuant to Section 10.23(a) or otherwise.

 ARTICLE II 
 Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral 
 SECTION 2.01. Priority of Claims. (a) Anything contained herein or in any of the First Lien Debt Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.01(b)), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Directing Agent









 11 
  

 
or, pursuant to Section 2.02(d), any Authorized Representative is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared
Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of any Grantor or any Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any security agreement or intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale,
collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any Secured Party or received by the Directing Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any
such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First Lien Obligations are entitled under any Collateral Documents or intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all
proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts
owing to the Directing Agent and any Authorized Representative (in each case, in its capacity as such); (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.01(b), to the payment in full of the First Lien Obligations of each Class on a ratable basis in
accordance with the terms of the applicable First Lien Debt Documents; and (iii) THIRD, to the Grantors or to whomever else may be lawfully entitled to receive the Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral
for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Class of First Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of
any dispute) to the security interest of any other Class of First Lien Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall
be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Class of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. 
 (b) It is acknowledged that the First Lien Obligations of any Class may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant First Lien
Debt Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a)
or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties of any Class. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the
date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Class of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction,
or any other applicable law or the First Lien Debt Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations of any Class or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.01(b)), each
Authorized Representative on behalf of its Related Secured Parties hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Class of First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other First Lien Debt Documents to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and
Cash Equivalents pledged to secure Senior Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the
Revolving Credit Lenders (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement)









 12 
  

 
pursuant to Section 2.03(f) or 2.05(b)(iv) of the Senior Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in such Section of the Senior Credit Agreement
and will not constitute Shared Collateral. 
 SECTION 2.02. Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on
Contesting Liens. (a) With respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) subject to Section 2.02(d), only the Directing Agent shall act with respect to the Shared Collateral, (ii) the Directing Agent shall not follow any instructions
with respect to such Shared Collateral from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative and the Controlling
Secured Parties) shall, nor shall it instruct the Directing Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any
action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral,
whether under any Collateral Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that, subject to Section 2.02(d) only, the Directing Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the
applicable Collateral Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens of the Representatives, the Directing Agent may deal with
the Shared Collateral as if the Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Shared Collateral. Subject to Section 2.02(d), no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or
object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Directing Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Parties, or any other exercise by the Directing Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or the
Controlling Secured Parties of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or cause the Directing Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Secured Party, the Directing Agent or any
Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral. 
 (b) Each of the Authorized
Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of any Class of First Lien Obligations (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of any Additional First Lien Debt Facility) other than
pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and by executing this Agreement, each Authorized Representative and its Related Secured Parties agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents applicable to it.

 (c) Each Secured Party agrees that it will not (and each hereby waives any right to) challenge or contest or support any
other Person in challenging or contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity, attachment, creation, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any other
Secured Party in all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of any First Lien Obligation of any Class or any Collateral Document of any Class or (iii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness
of the priorities, rights or duties established by, or other provisions of, this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Directing Agent, any Authorized Representative or
other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement. 








 13 
  

 (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02, if and to the extent
(i) under applicable law, the Directing Agent is prohibited from or (ii) the Directing Agent otherwise refuses to take any of the actions required or permitted hereunder, notwithstanding a direction from the Controlling Secured Parties to
do so, then each Authorized Representative will take such actions as are directed by the Applicable Authorized Representative or the Controlling Secured Parties, as applicable. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured
Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any Authorized Representative, or any other exercise by any Authorized Representative of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in accordance
with the immediately preceding sentence. 
 SECTION 2.03. No Interference; Payment Over. (a) Each Authorized
Representative and Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any
sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shared Collateral by the Directing Agent, (ii) except as provided in Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct the Directing Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right,
remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Directing Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared
Collateral, (iii) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Directing Agent or any other Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific
performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Directing Agent or any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Directing
Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or other Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and (iv) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared
Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Directing Agent, any Authorized
Representative or other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain
or realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Collateral Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any
other exercise of remedies, at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First Lien Obligations, then it shall hold such proceeds or payment in trust for the other Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or
payment, as the case may be, to the Directing Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof. 
 SECTION 2.04. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to Collateral Documents. (a) If, at any time the Directing Agent acts on behalf of any Authorized Representative to foreclose, or pursuant to Section 2.02(d) any
Authorized Representative









 14 
  

 
forecloses, upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each
Authorized Representative for the benefit of each Class of Related Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be
applied pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. 
 (b) Each Secured Party agrees that the Applicable Authorized Representative may
enter into any amendment, consent, waiver or other modification (and, upon request by the Applicable Authorized Representative, each Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification) to any
Collateral Document to which it is a party (including to release Liens securing any Class of First Lien Obligations), so long as the Applicable Authorized Representative receives a certificate of the Borrower stating that such amendment, consent,
waiver or other modification is permitted by the terms of such Collateral Document, and any such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Collateral Document without
the consent of any Authorized Representative and without any action by the Borrower or any Grantor, unless such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification adversely affects one Class of Secured Parties in a manner different than such
amendment, consent, waiver or other modification affects other Classes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any release of any Lien on any Collateral securing any Class of First Lien Obligations by the Applicable Authorized
Representative, such release shall only automatically apply to release comparable Liens under the other Collateral Documents if at such time the Applicable Authorized Representative is the Authorized Representative of the Class of First Lien Debt
Obligations that constitutes the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding Class of Obligations. Additionally, each Secured Party agrees that each Authorized Representative may enter into any amendment, consent, waiver or other
modification (and, upon request by such Authorized Representative, each other Authorized Representative shall sign a consent to such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification) to any Collateral Document to which it is a party (including to
release Liens securing such Class of First Lien Obligations) so long as (x) such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification is in accordance with the First Lien Debt Document pursuant to which such Class of First Lien Obligations was
incurred and (y) such amendment, consent, waiver or other modification does not adversely affect the Secured Parties of any other Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, consent, waiver or other modification to any Collateral
Document entered into by any Authorized Representative pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) will release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens under the Collateral Documents without the written consent of each Authorized
Representative. 
 (c) Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the
Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Directing Agent or the Applicable Authorized Representative to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral or amendment to any Collateral
Document provided for in this Section 2.04. 
 SECTION 2.05. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency
Proceedings. (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law
by or against any Grantor or any of its subsidiaries. 








 15 
  

 (b) If any Grantor shall become subject to a case or proceeding (a “Bankruptcy
Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of
the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any such financing
(“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Controlling Secured Parties, or an Authorized Representative of the Controlling Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to
such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each
Non-Controlling Secured Party will agree to subordinate (and will not object to or otherwise contest the subordination of) its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than
any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First
Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each Class
retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral subject to the DIP Financing Liens, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of
the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of each Class are granted Liens on any additional
collateral provided to the Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties as set forth in
this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with Section 2.01 of this Agreement and (D) if the Secured Parties
of any Class are granted the right to “roll up” any portion of their respective First Lien Obligations into the DIP Financing, then the Secured Parties of each Class shall receive such right on a ratable basis and on the same terms
(including any obligation to provide additional financing in connection therewith); provided that the Secured Parties of each Class shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to
Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Class or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided further, that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection granted in connection with
the DIP Financing or such use of cash collateral shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any such adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Secured Parties
are granted adequate protection in the form of periodic payments, such proceeds shall be for the account of such Secured Parties and shall not be applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.01 and this Section 2.05, (1) if the Secured Parties of any Class are granted adequate protection in the form of periodic payments in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such
adequate protection shall be solely for the account of the









 16 
  

 
Secured Parties of such Class and (2) no Secured Party of any Class shall be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of periodic payments or objecting to any DIP Financing or
use of cash collateral on the basis that any Secured Party of any other Class is receiving such payments (but the Secured Parties of such Class are not). 
 SECTION 2.06. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an
order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully
applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash. 
 SECTION 2.07.
Insurance. As between the Secured Parties, the Directing Agent, acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared
Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. 
 SECTION 2.08. Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Class may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is
otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any First Lien Debt Document) of any Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the
Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness. 
 SECTION 2.09. Directing Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) The Senior Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (or after
the Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations, the Applicable Authorized Representative) agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession
or control of its agents or bailees) for the benefit of and on behalf of the other Secured Parties and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable
Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. Pending delivery to the Senior Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (or after the Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations, the Applicable
Authorized Representative), each Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, for the benefit of and on behalf of each other Secured Party and any assignee,
solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. 
 (b) The duties or responsibilities of each Authorized Representative under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any
Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral for the benefit of and on behalf of each other Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Secured Parties therein. 








 17 
  

 ARTICLE III 
 SECTION 3.01. Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever the Directing Agent or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights
or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Class, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Class, it may request that such
information be furnished to it in writing by any other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative
shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the Directing Agent or requesting Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith
judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. The Directing Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance
with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other person as a result of any such determination. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 THE
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE 
 SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each Authorized Representative, on
behalf of the Secured Parties represented by it, hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A., and any successor thereto to act on its behalf as its agent hereunder and authorizes and directs Citibank, N.A, to exercise any of the rights and take any
other actions that such Authorized Representative is permitted to take under any of the Collateral Documents. Each Authorized Representative authorizes Citibank, N.A., and any successor thereto to take such actions on its behalf and in its name and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Directing Agent by the terms hereof or to such Authorized Representative by the terms thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any
Grantor to secure any of the First Lien Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In connection with the provisions hereof, the Directing Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Directing Agent pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder, shall
be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Section 10.05 of the Senior Credit Agreement (as though the Directing Agent and such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent” under
the Collateral Documents) or any equivalent provision of any other First Lien Debt Document as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 (b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Agent, acting on the instruction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall be entitled to sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral on behalf of and in the name of each Authorized Representative as provided herein and in the Collateral









 18 
  

 
Documents, without regard to any rights to which such Non-Controlling Secured Party would otherwise be entitled as a result of First Lien Obligations being owed to it. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Directing Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared
Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner
that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling
Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Directing Agent or any Authorized Representative of any other Class of First Lien
Obligations or any other Secured Party of any other Class arising out of (i) any actions which the Directing Agent, any Authorized Representative or any Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation,
perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all
or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation,
use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, Foreign
Holdings, Holdings or any of Parent’s subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Directing Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien
Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared
Collateral. 
 SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Secured Party. The Person serving as the Directing Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party under any Class of First Lien Obligations that it holds as any other Secured Party of such Class and may exercise the same as though it were not the Directing Agent and the term
“Secured Party” or “ Secured Parties” or, as applicable, “Additional First Lien Debt Party” or “Additional First Lien Debt Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as the Directing Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with Parent or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Directing Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party. 








 19 
  

 SECTION 4.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Directing Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Directing Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Security Documents that the Directing Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative; provided that the
Directing Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Directing Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Collateral Document or applicable law; 
 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Directing Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Controlling Secured Parties or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the
First Lien Debt Documents. The Directing Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Class of First Lien Obligations unless and until a written notice of Event of Default describing such Event Default is given to
the Directing Agent by the Authorized Representative of the applicable Class of First Lien Obligations or the Borrower; and 
 (v) 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 this Agreement or any other Collateral
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Class of First Lien Obligations, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in any First Lien Debt Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Directing Agent. 
 SECTION 4.04. Reliance by Directing Agent. The Directing Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic









 20 
  

 
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. The Directing
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Directing Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), 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. 
 SECTION 4.05. Delegation of Duties. The Directing Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Directing Agent. The Directing Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Directing Agent and any such sub-agent. 
 SECTION 4.06. Resignation of Directing Agent. The Directing Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Directing Agent
under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to each Authorized Representative and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized
Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Directing Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Directing Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Directing
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Directing Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Authorized Representative that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Directing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any Possessory
Collateral held by the Directing Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Collateral Documents, the retiring Directing Agent shall continue to hold such Possessory Collateral solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the
security interests of the Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Directing Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Parties)
and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Directing Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized
Representative appoints a successor Directing Agent as provided for above in this Section 4.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Directing Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Directing Agent, and the retiring Directing Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Collateral Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 4.06). After the retiring Directing Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article IV and
Article IX of the Senior Credit









 21 
  

 
Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Additional First Lien Debt Facility shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Directing Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Agent-Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Directing Agent was acting as Directing Agent. 
 SECTION 4.07. Non-Reliance on Directing Agent and Other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Directing Agent, any Authorized
Representative or any Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other First Lien Debt Documents.
Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Directing Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party or any of their Affiliates 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 First Lien Debt Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder. 
 SECTION 4.08. Collateral Matters. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Directing Agent,
at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
applicable Authorized Representative under any Collateral Document in accordance with Section 2.04 or upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower stating that the release of such Lien is permitted by the terms of each then extant First
Lien Debt Document; and 
 (b) to release any Grantor from its obligations under such Collateral Documents that
has granted a Lien to the Applicable Authorized Representative upon receipt of a written request from the Borrower stating that such release is permitted by the terms of each then extant First Lien Debt Document.

of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other First Lien Debt Documents or Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 
 SECTION 5.12. Provisions Solely To Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties in
relation to one another. None of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement is intended
to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Senior Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien









 25 
  

 
Debt Document), and none of the Borrower or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrower or any other
Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. 
 SECTION 5.13. Additional Senior Debt. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant First Lien Debt Documents, the Borrower may incur or issue and sell one
or more series or classes of Additional First Lien Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional First Lien Debt (the “First Lien Class Debt”) may be secured by the Collateral and may be Guaranteed by the Guarantors on a
pari passu first priority basis, in each case under and pursuant to the Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such First Lien Class Debt (each, a “First Lien Class Debt
Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such First Lien Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any First Lien Class Debt being referred to as the “First Lien Class Debt Parties”), becomes a
party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of the immediately succeeding paragraph. 
 In order for a First Lien Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement, 
 (a) such First Lien Class Debt Representative, the Directing Agent and each Grantor shall have executed and delivered an instrument substantially in the form of Annex 1 (with such changes as may be
approved by the Directing Agent and such First Lien Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which such First Lien Class Debt Representative becomes an Authorized Representative hereunder, and the First Lien Class Debt in respect of which such First
Lien Class Debt Representative is the Representative and the related First Lien Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby; 
 (b) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Directing Agent true and complete copies of each of the First Lien Debt Documents relating to such First Lien Class Debt, certified as being true and correct
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; 
 (c) all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to
the Collateral Documents necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Agent to confirm and perfect the Liens securing the relevant First Lien Obligations relating to such First Lien Class Debt shall have been made, executed
and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordings shall have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Agent), and all fees and taxes in connection
therewith shall have been paid; 
 (d) the First Lien Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such First Lien
Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Directing Agent, that each First Lien Class Debt Party with respect to such First Lien Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity
as a holder of such First Lien Class Debt; and 








 26 
  

 (e) the Directing Agent shall have received such opinions of outside counsel
to Borrower and such First Lien Class Debt Representative as it may request and such other documents relating to the matters referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) as it may reasonably request, and such opinions and other documents shall
be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Directing Agent. 
 SECTION 5.14. Integration. This Agreement
together with the other First Lien Debt Documents and the Collateral Documents represents the agreement of each of the Grantors and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Directing Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other First Lien Debt Documents
or the Collateral Documents. 
 SECTION 5.15. Rights of Authorized Representatives. Any trustee or other Authorized
Representative under any Additional First Lien Debt Facility that becomes a party hereto shall have all the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities granted to it under the applicable indenture or other agreement that
constitutes such Additional First Lien Debt Facility as if such rights, privileges, protections, immunities, benefits and indemnities were set forth herein in full.

their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

 Annex 1 
 JOINDER NO.          dated as of
                    , to the FIRST LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT dated as of [—], 2010 (the
“First Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as Directing Agent for the Secured Parties, Citibank, as Senior Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, Citibank, as Senior Credit Agreement
Incremental Collateral Agent, and Citibank, as the Initial Additional First Lien Representative, and the additional Authorized Representatives from time to time party thereto. 
 A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement. 
 B. As a condition to the ability of Borrower to issue Additional First Lien Debt and to secure such
First Lien Class Debt with a Lien and to have such First Lien Class Debt guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior basis, the First Lien Class Debt Representative in respect of such First Lien Class Debt is required to become an Authorized
Representative under, and such First Lien Class Debt and the First Lien Class Debt Parties in respect thereof are required to become subject to and bound by, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Section 5.13 of the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement provides that such First Lien Class Debt Representative may become an Authorized Representative under, and such First Lien Class Debt and such First Lien Class Debt Parties may become subject to and bound by, the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, pursuant to the execution and delivery by the First Lien Class Representative of an instrument in the form of this Joinder and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 5.13 of the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement. The undersigned First Lien Class Debt Representative (the “New Representative”) is executing this Joinder in accordance with the requirements of the First Lien Debt Documents. 
 Accordingly, the Directing Agent and the New Representative agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.13 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Representative by its signature below
becomes an Authorized Representative under, and the related First Lien Class Debt and First Lien Class Debt Parties become subject to and bound by, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Representative
had originally been named therein as an Authorized Representative, and the New Representative, on behalf of itself and such First Lien Class Debt Parties, hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement
applicable to it as a Representative and Authorized Representative and to the First Lien Class Debt Parties that it represents as Additional First Lien Debt Parties. Each reference to a “Representative” or “Authorized
Representative” in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Representative. The First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 The New Representative hereby irrevocably (i) appoints [Citibank, N.A.] as Directing Agent for purposes of the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, (ii) authorizes









 2 
  

 
the Directing Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Directing Agent in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (iii) authorizes the Directing Agent to execute any Collateral Documents on behalf of all Secured Parties and to take such other actions to maintain and preserve the security interests
granted pursuant to any Collateral Documents. The New Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Agent in its capacity as such shall be acting on its behalf and on behalf of all other Secured Parties. 
 SECTION 2. The New Representative represents and warrants to the Directing Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) it has full
power and authority to enter into this Joinder, in its capacity as [agent] [trustee], (ii) this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms and (iii) the Additional First Lien Debt Documents relating to such First Lien Class Debt provide that, upon the New Representative’s entry into this Joinder, the First Lien Class Debt Parties in respect of such
First Lien Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as Additional First Lien Debt Parties. 
 SECTION 3. This Joinder may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Joinder shall become
effective when the Directing Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Joinder that bears the signature of the New Representative. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder. 
 SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby,
the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 5. THIS JOINDER SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Joinder should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Representative shall be given to it at the address set forth below its signature hereto.

 By acknowledging and agreeing to this Joinder, each of the Grantors party hereto hereby
(i) reaffirms the security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure the First Lien
Obligations and (ii) authorizes the filing of any financing statements describing the Collateral in any manner the Directing Agent chooses, including, without limitation, describing such Collateral as “all assets of debtor, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired,” “all personal property of debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or using words of similar import.
