 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS.

“2007 Transactions”: as the term “Transactions” is defined in the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture.








 “ABL Administrative Agent”: General Electric Capital Corporation, in its
capacity as administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement, or any successor administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement. 
 “ABL Collateral Agent”: General Electric Capital Corporation, in its capacity as collateral agent under the ABL Credit Agreement, or any successor collateral agent under the ABL Credit

 “ABL Credit Agreement”: that ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the
Borrower, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto, the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, General Electric Capital Corporation, as the ABL Administrative Agent and ABL Collateral Agent and the other parties
thereto, as such agreement may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time or refunded, refinanced, restructured, replaced, renewed, repaid, increased or extended from time to time (whether in whole or in part, whether
with the original administrative agent and lenders or other agents and lenders or otherwise, and whether provided under the original ABL Credit Agreement or one or more other credit agreements or otherwise, unless such agreement, instrument or
document expressly provides that it is not intended to be and is not an ABL Credit Agreement hereunder). Any reference to the ABL Credit Agreement hereunder shall be deemed a reference to any ABL Credit Agreement then in existence. 

“ABL Facility”: the collective reference to the ABL Credit Agreement, any ABL Loan Documents, any notes and letters of
credit issued pursuant thereto and any guarantee and collateral agreement, patent and trademark security agreement, mortgages, letter of credit applications and other guarantees, pledge agreements, security agreements and collateral documents, and

restructured, replaced, renewed, repaid, increased or extended from time to time (whether in whole or in part, whether with the original agent and lenders or other agents and lenders or otherwise, and whether provided under the original ABL Credit
Agreement or one or more other credit agreements, indentures or financing agreements or otherwise, unless such agreement, instrument or document expressly provides that it is not intended to be and is not an ABL Facility hereunder). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the term “ABL Facility” shall include any agreement (i) changing the maturity of any Indebtedness Incurred thereunder or contemplated thereby, (ii) adding Subsidiaries of the Borrower as
additional borrowers or guarantors thereunder, (iii) increasing the amount of Indebtedness Incurred thereunder or available to be borrowed thereunder or (iv) otherwise altering the terms and conditions thereof.

Person’s sales of goods or rendition of services made under any of its trade names, or through any of its divisions, (b) all unpaid rights of such Person (including rescission, replevin, reclamation and stopping in transit) relating to the
foregoing or arising therefrom, (c) all rights to any goods represented by any of the foregoing, including returned or repossessed goods, (d) all reserves and credit balances held by such Person with respect to any such accounts receivable
of any Obligors, (e) all letters of credit, guarantees or collateral for any of the foregoing and (f) all insurance policies or rights relating to any of the foregoing.

another Restricted Subsidiary, or (iv) Capital Stock of any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary acquired from a third party. 
 “Additional Indebtedness”: as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement. 
 “Additional Lender”: as defined in subsection 2.5(b). 

“Additional Obligations”: as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as
applicable. 
 “Additional Permitted Obligations”: subordinated or senior Indebtedness (which Indebtedness may
be unsecured, or secured by a Lien ranking at the Borrower’s option pari passu with or junior to the Lien securing the Term Loans), including customary bridge financings, in each case issued or incurred by the Borrower or a Guarantor, the terms
of which Indebtedness (i) do not provide for a maturity date or weighted average life to maturity earlier than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans or shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, as the case may be
(other than an earlier maturity date and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent
financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans or the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, as applicable), (ii) do not, in
the case of Indebtedness that is unsecured or is secured by Liens that are junior in priority to the Liens securing the Term Loans, provide for any mandatory repayment or redemption from asset sales, casualty or condemnation events or excess cash
flow except to the extent that prepayments are made first to the Term Loans and to other Indebtedness having Pari Passu Lien Priority or Senior Lien Priority (to the extent required by the Loan Documents or the terms of such other Indebtedness)
(other than, in the case of any customary bridge financing, prepayments of such bridge financing from the issuance of equity or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder which meets the requirements of this definition); provided that
(a) such Indebtedness shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party that does 

  
 9 








 
not also secure the Term Loans, or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors, and (b) if secured by Collateral, such Indebtedness (and all related obligations) shall be subject
to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreements (or such other intercreditor agreements as are reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, THD and its Affiliates

by any Governmental Authority having regulatory authority over such Distressed Person to be, insolvent or bankrupt or (iii) taken any action in furtherance of, or indicated its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or
appointment; provided that an Agent Related Distress Event shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interests in any Agent or any person that directly or indirectly controls such
Agent by a Governmental Authority or an instrumentality thereof.

into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2), (3) or
(4) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such
Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period. 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma
effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed,
defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including in respect of anticipated net cost savings or synergies relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction)
shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or another Responsible Officer of the Borrower; provided that such net cost savings or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable. If any Indebtedness
bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking
into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If

Date. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. Each Lender having a Term Loan Commitment will make the amount of its pro rata share of the Term Loan Commitments available, in each
case for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 10.2 prior to 12:00 Noon New York City time, on the Closing Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall no later than 12:00 Noon on such date credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent. 
 2.4 Record of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender, the amount
specified in subsection 2.2(b) (or such earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to the Borrower
from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 3.1. 

  
 69 









 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 10.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in
which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.4(b) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the
Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 2.5 Incremental Facilities. 
 (a) So long as no Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date,
(i) to request new term loan commitments under one or more new term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), (ii) to increase the loans in any Tranche by requesting
new term loan commitments to be added to an existing Tranche of Loans (the “Supplemental Term Loan Commitments”), (iii) to request new commitments under one or more new revolving facilities to be included in this Agreement (the
“Incremental Revolving Commitments”), and (iv) to request new letter of credit facility commitments under one or more new letter of credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (together with the Incremental Term Loan
Commitments, Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), provided that, (i) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant
to this subsection 2.5 is limited, at the time the respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective, to (A) the aggregate principal amount (not less than zero) of Indebtedness that is permitted to be Incurred under subsection 7.1(b)(xiv)(i)
by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries at such time plus (B) $250 million and (ii) if any portion of an Incremental Commitment is to be incurred in reliance on subsection 7.1(b)(xiv)(i), the Borrower shall have delivered a
certificate to the Administrative Agent, certifying compliance with the financial test set forth in such clause (together with calculations demonstrating compliance with such ratio). Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental Commitment
(other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments) shall be made by creating a new Tranche. Each Incremental Commitment made available pursuant to this subsection 2.5 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 70 









 (b) Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.5 shall set forth the
requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. The Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (any such existing Lender and any such
bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”), provided, if such Additional Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender hereunder, to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the consent of any swingline lender or issuing lender, as the case may be, that may then be required pursuant to subsection 10.6 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it
being understood that any such Additional Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 10.6(h), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if such Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been
obtained by such Lender by way of assignment). 
 (c) Supplemental Term Loan Commitments shall become commitments under this
Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Tranche to be increased, executed by the Borrower and each increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each
Additional Lender that is not an existing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording
in the Register. Upon effectiveness of the Lender Joinder Agreement each Additional Lender shall be a Lender, and the term loan made pursuant to such Supplemental Term Loan Commitment shall be a Loan under the applicable Tranche, for all intents and
purposes of this Agreement. 
 (d) Incremental Commitments (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments) shall become
commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each Additional Lender. An Incremental
Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this
subsection 2.5, provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be secured on a pari passu or (at the
Borrower’s option) junior basis by the same Collateral securing the Term Loans, (B) the Incremental Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder (the “Incremental Loans”) shall rank pari passu in right of payment
with or (at the Borrower’s option) junior to the Term Loans and (C) no Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for (I) any Incremental Commitment or any Incremental Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any
Loan Party that do not also secure the Term Loans and (II) so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, any mandatory prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Term Loans (other than Incremental Term Loans secured on a junior basis by
the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for the Term Loans than such Incremental Loans), provided
that any Incremental Loans constituting Initial Term Loan Refinancing Debt may provide for more favorable amortization payments than the Term Loans),; (ii) no Lender will 

  
 71 









 
be required to provide any such Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees; (iii) the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Commitments shall be no
earlier than or shorter than, as the case may be, the Maturity Date or the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, as applicable (other than (a) any Incremental Commitments and related Incremental Term Loans constituting Initial
Term Loan Refinancing Debt that may provide for an earlier maturity date and/or a shorter average life to maturity than the Term Loans, and (b) an earlier maturity date and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge
financings, that, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity
than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans or the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, as applicable); (iv) the interest rate margins applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments, and the amortization
schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans, shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders; provided that, in the event that the applicable interest rate margins for any term loans Incurred by the Borrower
under any Incremental Term Loan Commitment are higher than the applicable interest rate margin for the Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the
applicable interest rate margin for the Term Loans is equal to the applicable interest rate margins for such Incremental Term Loan Commitment minus 50 basis points; provided further that, in determining the applicable interest rate
margins for the Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees payable generally to all participating Additional Lenders in lieu of OID (which shall be deemed to constitute like
amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loan in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity);
(B) any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection with the Incremental Term Loans that are not shared with all Additional Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded; (C) any amendments to the
Applicable Margin on the Term Loans that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such Incremental Term Loans shall also be included in such calculations and (D) if the Incremental Term Loans include an interest
rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans
shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to
the Term Loans shall be increased by such amount; (v) such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide (1) for the inclusion, as appropriate, of the Additional Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, Supermajority
Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder, (2) class voting and other class protections for any additional credit facilities, (3) for the amendment of the definitions of “Additional Permitted Obligations” and
“Refinancing Indebtedness” and subsection 7.8(b), in each case only to extend the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity requirements, from the Maturity Date of the Term Loans and weighted average life to maturity of the
Term Loans to the extended maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, and (4) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment, add, or provide for adjustments to, the definition of
“Agent Default,” “Defaulting Lender” protections and appropriate modifications to subsection 2.7 to provide for “amend and extend” mechanics for Incremental Revolving Commitments (and


  
 72 









 
related Obligations), in each case on terms agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Commitments (including any swingline lender or issuing lender); and
(vi) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the Incremental Commitment Amendment, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.

 2.6 Permitted Debt Exchanges. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower
to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Loans of a particular Tranche, as selected by the Borrower, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Loans of
such Tranche for Indebtedness in the form of unsecured notes or secured notes ranking pari passu with or junior to the Term Loans (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt
Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes do not provide for a maturity date or weighted average life to maturity earlier than the Maturity Date of the Term Loans or shorter
than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, (ii) except as may be otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders participating in the applicable Permitted Debt Exchange, the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face
amount thereof) of Loans exchanged shall equal the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Loans, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the
face amount thereof) of all Loans exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent,
any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective
Lender assigns its interest in the Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered
by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Loans which exceeds the principal amount of the applicable Tranche actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum
aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower shall exchange Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to
such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to
certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) based on their respective
aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Loans of the applicable Tranche, (vi) so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, the terms of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes shall not provide for any mandatory or voluntary pre-payment provisions
applicable to the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes that do not also apply to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (or 

  
 73 









 
otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Term Loans than such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes), (vii) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be
consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Administrative Agent, and
(viii) any applicable Minimum Exchange Tender Condition shall be satisfied. 
 (b) With respect to all Permitted Debt
Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.6, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for
purposes of subsection 3.4 and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $15 million in aggregate principal amount of Loans, provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Borrower may at its
election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Exchange Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the
Borrower’s discretion) of Loans be tendered. 
 (c) In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower shall
provide the Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually
agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this subsection 2.6 and without conflict with subsection 2.6(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date
by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made. 

(d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in
connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with
any Permitted Debt Exchange (other than the Borrower’s reliance on any certificate delivered by a Lender pursuant to subsection 2.6(a) above for which such Lender shall bear sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely
responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

2.7 Extension of Term Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Loans of one or more Tranches (including any Extended Term Loans) or of any commitments existing at the time of
such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of
principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Term Tranche (any such Existing Term Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche” and the Loans of such Tranche, the
“Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this subsection 2.7; 

  
 74 









 
provided that (i) any such request shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis
(based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans), and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. In order to establish any Extended Term Tranche, the
Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the
Extended Term Tranche to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Term Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Term Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the
final maturity dates of such Extended Term Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Term Tranche and (y) (A) the interest rates and interest margins with respect to the Extended Term
Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins (including through fixed interest rates) for the Specified Existing Term Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Tranche in addition
to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.7 or
otherwise, (1) assignments and participations of Extended Term Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Term Loans set forth in
subsection 10.6 and (2) no repayment of Extended Term Tranches shall be permitted unless such repayment is accompanied by an at least pro rata repayment of all earlier maturing Tranches (including Extended Term Tranches) (or all earlier
maturing Tranches (including Extended Term Tranches) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Term Loans or, if applicable, commitments of any Existing
Term Tranche converted into an Extended Term Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Term Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans (and, if applicable, commitments) from the Specified Existing Term Tranches and from any
other Existing Term Tranches (together with any other Extended Term Tranches so established on such date). 
 (b) The Borrower
shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranche or Existing Term Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending
Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Term Tranche converted into an Extended Term Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date
specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Term Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Term Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Term Tranche subject to Extension
Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Term Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the
amount of Specified Existing Term Tranches included in each such Extension Election. 
 (c) Extended Term Tranches shall be
established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to (i) provisions related to maturity or interest margins or fees referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of
subsection 2.7(a), (ii) the definitions of “Additional Permitted Obligations” and “Refinancing 

  
 75 









 
Indebtedness” and subsection 7.8(b) to extend the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity requirements, from the Maturity Date of the Term Loans and weighted average life to
maturity of the Term Loans to the extended maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Term Tranche, as applicable, and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this
subsection 2.7(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in subsection 10.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Tranches established thereby) executed by the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality or applicability of subsection 10.1 to any Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendments, any
Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided that such Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents
applicable to holders of any Extended Term Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendments to become
effective in accordance with subsection 10.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Term Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the
Existing Term Tranches and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Term Tranches (other than Existing Term Tranches secured on a junior
basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which may be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Existing Term Tranches than such Extended Term
Tranches). It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by
this subsection 2.7 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Subsection 2.7 Additional Amendment. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Tranche is converted to
extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Term Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such
Specified Existing Term Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Term Tranches shall be established as a separate
Tranche from the Specified Existing Term Tranche and from any other Existing Term Tranches (together with any other Extended Term Tranches so established on such date). 
 (e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set
forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (i) replace such Non-Extending Lender by
causing such Lender to (and 

  
 76 









 
such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to subsection 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the
applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans and/or a commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender
relating to the Existing Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full (including the applicable premium that would be payable under subsection 3.4(a) if it were a voluntary prepayment) by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently
with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) upon notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Existing Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.4(a) and 3.12, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement
under this subsection 2.7, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of
(A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to
the Existing Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other
documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender. 

(f) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion
of its Existing Term Loans deemed to be an Extended Term Loan under the applicable Extended Term Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Term Tranche; provided that
(i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion)
and (ii) no more than three Designation Dates may occur in any one year period without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Term Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be
deemed to be Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extended Term Tranche, and any Existing Term Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Term Loans” of the applicable Tranche. 

(g) With respect to all extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.7, (i) such extensions shall not
constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of subsection 3.4 (except as set forth in clause (e) above) and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment,
provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension
Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Existing Term Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this
subsection 2.7 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in 

  
 77 









 
respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, subsections 3.4 and 3.8) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this subsection 2.7. 
 SECTION 3 GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 3.1 Interest Rates and Payment
Dates. 
 (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 
 (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the ABR for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any other
amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (y) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1 plus 2.00%, and (z) in the case of other amounts, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this subsection 3.1 for ABR Loans
plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection 3.1 shall be payable from time to time on
demand. 
 (e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is
stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any
Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws. 

3.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. 
 (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice
of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans to
Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or
Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any 

  
 78 









 
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein,
provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the
Borrower that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of
the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such
(i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the
date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and provided, further, that, if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this subsection 3.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to
the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b), the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. 
 3.3 Minimum Amounts of Sets. All borrowings,
conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the
Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding. 

3.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a) Prior to April 12, 2013, the Borrower may not optionally prepay the Term Loans (except as provided in subsection 10.1(f)). Thereafter the Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the
Term Loans made to it in whole or in part, (i) from April 12, 2013 until April 11, 2014, together with a prepayment premium of 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, (ii) from April 12, 2014
until April 11, 2015, together with a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid and (iii) on and after April 12, 2015, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty, in each
case upon at least three Business Days’ notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans), and at least one Business Day’s notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of ABR Loans).
Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each. Any such notice may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

  
 79 









 
Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given and is not revoked, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.12 and accrued interest to
such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be applied to the respective installments of principal of such Term Loans in such order as the Borrower may direct. Partial prepayments pursuant
to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1.0 million; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. 
 (b) On or before the date that is fifteen Business Days following the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower ending on or about February 1, 2014 (each, an “ECF Payment
Date”), the Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) (x) the ECF Percentage of (i) the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding
fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), and any loans under the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under
such facility, in each case during such fiscal year excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness, minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to subsection 3.4(a),
and any loans under the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under such facility, in each case since the end of such fiscal year and on or prior to such ECF Payment Date, excluding
prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (in the case of this clause (y), without duplication of any amount thereof previously deducted in any calculation pursuant to this subsection 3.4(b) for any prior ECF
Payment Date) (the amount described in this clause (A), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount applied (to the extent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is required by the
terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase other Permitted Additional Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this subsection 3.4(b), proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness
shall not be deemed to include proceeds from the Incurrence of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility, any Special Purpose Financing or any other revolving credit or working capital financing permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (c) The Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans to the extent
required by subsection 7.4(b) (subject to the last sentence of each of subsections 7.4(b)(A) and 7.4(b)(B). 
 (d) Prepayments
of Term Loans pursuant to subsections 3.4(b), (c) and (j) shall be applied to installments of principal thereof pursuant to subsection 2.2(b) as directed by the Borrower (or, in the case of no direction, in the direct order of maturity).

 (e) The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans
(x) pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), ten Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and (y) pursuant to subsection 3.4(c), within five Business Days upon becoming obligated to make such prepayment. Such notice shall state
that the Borrower is offering to make such mandatory prepayment (x) on a date that is ten Business 

  
 80 









 
Days after the date of such notice in the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), or (y) on or before the date specified in subsection 3.4(c), in the case of a prepayment
pursuant to subsection 3.4(c) (any such date of prepayment, a “Prepayment Date”). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the relevant Prepayment Date as
required by subsection 3.4 (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this subsection 3.4(e)). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the
prepayment and the relevant Prepayment Date. In the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (c), each Lender may (in its sole discretion) elect to decline any such prepayment by giving notice of such election in writing to the
Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is three Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower of
such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to pay or prepay the Term Loans of Lenders not declining such prepayment in the manner described in subsection 3.4(d), or other obligations under the
other Credit Facilities, or otherwise be retained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or applied by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, including subsection 7.4(b).

 (f) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b), (c) or (j) may not be reborrowed.

 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, (x) if at any time any prepayment of any
Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b), (c) or (j) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of such
Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially
(i) deposit a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not
immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash
collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment
of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 3.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant
to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear
interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid and (y) if at any time, the financing of any portion of any
prepayment of Loans pursuant to subsections 3.4(b) or 3.4(c) would require the transfer of funds from any Foreign Subsidiary to the Borrower and, in the good faith determination of the Borrower (which determination shall be conclusive), the transfer
thereof directly or indirectly to the Borrower could reasonably be expected to give rise to or result 

  
 81 









 
in any material adverse tax consequence for the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Parent, the prepayment otherwise required under subsections 3.4(b) or 3.4(c) shall be reduced to the
extent of the amount of the prepayment that would otherwise be financed with the transfer of funds from such Foreign Subsidiary. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this subsection 3.4 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the
extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of Term Loans added pursuant to, and without the consent of any Person except as set forth in, subsections 2.5
and 2.7, as applicable. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default
under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Loans on the following basis: 
 (i) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of
Specified Discount Prepayment, a Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers, or a Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this subsection 3.4(i); provided that the Borrower
shall not initiate any action under this subsection 3.4(i) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (1) at least ten Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a
result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date or (2) at least three Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Lender was willing to accept any
prepayment of any Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to
accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers made by a Lender. Any Loans prepaid pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) shall be immediately and automatically cancelled. 

(ii) Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment. 

(a) The Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Administrative
Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender or to each Lender with
respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate Outstanding Amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”), the Tranche(s) of Loans subject to
such offer and the specific percentage discount to par value (the “Specified Discount”) of the Outstanding Amount of such Loans to be prepaid, (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not
less than $5.0 million and whole increments of $500,000, and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will


  
 82 









 
promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such
Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date designated by the Administrative Agent
and approved by the Borrower) (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”). 
 (b) Each
relevant Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Loans at the
Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Amount and Tranches of Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date
shall be deemed to have declined to accept such Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment. 
 (c) If there
is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i)(ii) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective Outstanding Amount and
Tranches of Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to the foregoing clause (b); provided that, if the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective Outstanding Amounts accepted to be
prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such
proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the
respective Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date, and the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of all Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date, and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and
confirmation of the Outstanding Amount, Tranche and Type of Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and
Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with
subsection 3.4(i)(vi) below (subject to subsection 3.4(i)(x) below). 

  
 83 









 (iii) Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers.

 (a) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the
Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender or to each
Lender with respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount of the relevant Loans that the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (the “Discount
Range Prepayment Amount”), the Tranche(s) of Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the Outstanding Amount of such Loans willing to be prepaid by the
Borrower, (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5.0 million and whole increments of $500,000, and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant
Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be designated by the
Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower) (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the
Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Loans and the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Loans such Lender is willing
to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount (the “Submitted Amount”). Any Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have
declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by it by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and
subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection 3.4(i)(iii). The Borrower agrees to accept
on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Administrative Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the
Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par being referred to as the
“Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to the lesser of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each
Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have 

  
 84 









 
irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection 3.4(i)(iii)(c)) at the Applicable Discount (each
such Lender, a “Participating Lender”). 
 (c) If there is at least one Participating Lender,
the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount;
provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the relevant Loans for
those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its
reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify
(w) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to
be prepaid, (x) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of all Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Participating
Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and
payable by such Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection 3.4(i)(vi) below (subject to subsection 3.4(i)(x) below). 
 (iv) Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers. 

(a) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Administrative
Agent with three Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender or to each Lender with
respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans and the Tranches of Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (the “Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amount”), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10.0 million and whole increments of $1.0 million, and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower
shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted


  
 85 









 
Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York
time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be designated by the Administrative Agent and approved by Borrower) (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response
Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at
which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Loans and the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered
Discount. Any Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to
their par value. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offers received by it by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select, at its sole discretion, the smallest of the Offered Discounts
specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that the Borrower is willing to accept (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the
Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent of a copy of all
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (b) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent setting forth the
Acceptable Discount. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

 (c) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by
Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Administrative Agent
will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranche(s) of Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment
Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this subsection 3.4(i)(iv). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers received by the Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has
submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have 

  
 86 









 
irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a
“Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i)(iv) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such Lender’s Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made
pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of
the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify (w) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (x) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Loans and the Tranches to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of such
Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing
notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in accordance with subsection 3.4(i)(vi) below (subject to subsection 3.4(i)(x) below). 
 (v)
Expenses. In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith. 
 (vi) Payment. If any Loan
is prepaid in accordance with subsections 3.4(i)(ii) through (iv) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the Loans in inverse order of maturity. The Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so
prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating


  
 87 









 
Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Tranche(s) of the Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Tranches of Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. The Lenders hereby agree that, in connection with a prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) interest in respect of the Loans may be made on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders holding such Loans to reflect the payment of accrued interest to certain Lenders as
provided in this subsection 3.4(i)(vi) and (ii) all subsequent prepayments and repayments of the Loans (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement) shall be made on a pro rata basis among the respective Lenders based upon
the then outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the respective Lenders after giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) as if made at par. It is also understood and agreed that prepayments pursuant to this
subsection 3.4(i) shall not be subject to subsection 3.4(a), or, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection 10.7(a) or the pro rata allocation requirements of subsection 3.8(a). 

(vii) Other Procedures. To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall
be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this subsection 3.4(i), established by the Administrative Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower. 

(viii) Notice. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this subsection
3.4(i), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Administrative Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt
during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business
Day. 
 (ix) Actions of Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees
that Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this subsection 3.4(i) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Administrative Agent to such
Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions in this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment provided for in this subsection 3.4(i) as well as to activities of the Administrative Agent in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this subsection 3.4(i). 

(x) Revocation. The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to revoke in full
(but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time
on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount 

  
 88 









 
Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is so revoked, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) shall not constitute a Default or
Event of Default under subsection 8 or otherwise). 
 (xi) No Obligation. This subsection 3.4(i) shall not
(i) require the Borrower to undertake any prepayment pursuant to this subsection 3.4(i) or (ii) limit or restrict the Borrower from making voluntary prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

 (j) In the event of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall make an offer to the Lenders (the “Change of Control
Offer”) in accordance with the procedures in this subsection 3.4(j) to prepay the Loans of each such Lender at a prepayment price in cash (a “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below). Within 30 days following obtaining knowledge of any Change of Control, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent, and
promptly thereafter the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this subsection 3.4(j). Such notice shall specify (i) the Change of Control Payment and the date such prepayment
will be made by or on behalf of the Borrower, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (ii) that Lenders that have requested
to have their Loan prepaid shall be entitled to withdraw such request; provided that the Borrower receives, not later than the close of business on the 30th day following the date of the Change of Control notice, notification in writing
setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of Loans that the Lender had requested to have prepaid, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its request to have such Loans prepaid and (iii) such other instructions, as
reasonably determined by the Borrower, consistent with this subsection 3.4(j), that a Lender must follow. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans of each Lender that properly requested that its Loans be prepaid in
an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of such Loans. The Borrower will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and prepays all Loans properly requested to be prepaid (and with respect to which such
request was not withdrawn) under the Change of Control Offer, (ii) notice of prepayment of all Loans hereunder has been given pursuant to this Agreement as described above unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable
prepayment price, (iii) if, in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, it or a third party has made an offer to prepay (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Loans at a price equal to or higher than the Change
of Control Payment and has so prepaid all Loans properly requested to be repaid (and with respect to which such request was not withdrawn) in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer or (iv) the Borrower has otherwise repaid all of the
Loans in accordance with subsection 3.4(a) above (if permitted thereby). A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of
Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. 
 3.5 Administrative Agent Fees; Other Fees. The Borrower
agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Holding Parent or the Borrower, the Other Representatives and the
Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.

 3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. 

(a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days
elapsed; and commitment fees and any other fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-day year, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of
the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail
the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 3.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the BBA LIBOR Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.

 3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with
respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have
been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans. Until such notice has been
withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to
Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate. 
 3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and
Payments. 
 (a) Each payment (including each prepayment, but excluding payments made pursuant to subsections 2.6, 2.7,
3.4(j), 3.13, 10.1(f) or 10.6)) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans of a given Tranche (other than (x) any payments pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (c) to the extent declined by any Lender in accordance
with subsection 3.4(e) and (y) any payments pursuant to subsection 3.4(i) which shall be allocated as 

  
 90 









 
set forth in subsection 3.4(i)) shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the respective Lenders
(or as otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Commitment Amendment or Extension Amendment). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be
made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans at the Administrative Agent’s office
specified in subsection 10.2, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day, and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless
the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. This subsection 3.8 may be amended in accordance with subsection 10.1(e)
to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable and priorities of payments to Lenders under any new Tranches added pursuant to subsection 2.5 or 2.7, as applicable. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not
make the amount that would constitute its Term Credit Percentage of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor,
such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent, or another bank of recognized standing
reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts
owing under this subsection 3.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Term Credit Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of
such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with
interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under
applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available. 

  
 91 









 3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected
Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of
such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such
Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on
the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. 
 3.10 Requirements of Law. 
 (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in
each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender): 

(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made or maintained
by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes, Taxes imposed under FATCA and taxes measured by or imposed
upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or
its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable
any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office
of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or 

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever); 

  
 92 









 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such
Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such
Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such
election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to subsection 3.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the
events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by
such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in
the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in
each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations or hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender
to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this
paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by
such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate
as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection 3.10, (x) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction


  
 93 









 
is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy,
including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation or adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise and (y) the Dodd Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable,
subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes herein. 
 3.11 Taxes. 

(a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any
Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any
such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for,
any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph
(b) or (c) of this subsection, (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a change in
treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after
the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”) or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to
receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with
respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective, or
(z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a Change in Law or (2) on a Person that is an
assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is
subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the
time such assignment was effective. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as 

  
 94 









 
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (b) Each Agent and each Lender that is a “United
States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an
interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case
certifying that such Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
federal backup withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such
assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or Form W 8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case
certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if such Agent or
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI or Form W 8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant
to clause (i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit Q (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W 8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding
tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii) if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, two accurate and complete
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete
exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S.
persons claiming portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete 

  
 95 









 
exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments
made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of a Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided
that in no event shall such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. In addition, each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing
Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, such Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W 8ECI, Form W 8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W 8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Agent or Lender to a continued
exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio
interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case,
(1) there has been a Change in Law that occurs after the date such Agent or Lender becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (or after the date the relevant beneficiary or member in the case of a Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow
through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a beneficiary or member, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to
it, in which case such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or (2) such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with
respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of a Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the
Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. 

(c) Each Agent and Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the
case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note to such Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes
(including any United States withholding taxes under FATCA) (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that such Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or
certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to this
subsection 3.11, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such
Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 

  
 96 









 3.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such
Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion
into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans
after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of
an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or
continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over
(ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If
any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in
clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such
Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection 3.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the
Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

3.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. 

(a) Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Agent and Lender to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting,
the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Agent or Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to
such Agent or Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Agent or Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so
cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Agent. Lender 

  
 97 









 
shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Agent or Lender in its sole
discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 
 (b) If a Lender changes its applicable
lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be
to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 
 (c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the Borrower pursuant to
subsection 3.10 or 3.11, such Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such
condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans, as the case may be, held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be
required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable
incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 
 (d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to
subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the
assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such
Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective
prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the
assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an
affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the
prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts

the Transactions, and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 4.1 Financial
Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of January 30, 2011 and January 29, 2012 and the consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive

fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition as at such date, and the consolidated results of operations and earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then
ended, of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby

 99 









 
qualified as a foreign corporation or a limited liability company or an unlimited company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of

organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Notes to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in

Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Document
to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in
equity or at law). 
 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan

where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.9 Intellectual
Property. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes
necessary for each of them to conduct its business substantially as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower’s obligations under this subsection 6.1(b) with respect to such quarter); 

  
 109

existence, if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law except to the extent that failure to comply therewith, in the aggregate, would

business of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption)
as are consistent with the past practices of the Loan Parties and otherwise as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business; furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon written request,
information in reasonable detail as to the insurance carried; and ensure that at all times the Collateral Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative (as bailee for perfection for the Collateral Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
shall be named as an additional insured with respect to liability policies, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be named as loss payee with respect to property insurance for the Mortgaged Properties, maintained by
the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Loan Party; provided that, (A) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall turn over to the Borrower any amounts received by it as loss
payee under any such property insurance maintained by such Loan Parties and (for the avoidance of doubt) any other proceeds from a Recovery Event, the disposition of such amounts to be subject to the provisions of subsection 3.4(c) to the extent
applicable, and, (B) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the sole right to adjust or settle any claims under such

and otherwise in compliance with the Flood Program and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, 

(ii) The applicable Loan Party promptly shall comply with and conform to (i) all provisions of each such insurance
policy, and (ii) all requirements of the insurers applicable to such party or to such property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of such property, except for such non-compliance or
non-conformity as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Loan Party shall not use or permit the use of such property in any manner that would reasonably be expected to result in
the cancellation of any such insurance policy or would reasonably be expected to void coverage required to be maintained with respect to such property pursuant to subsection 6.5(a), 

(iii) If any such Loan Party is in default of its obligations to insure or deliver any such prepaid policy or policies,
the result of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, then the Administrative Agent, at its option upon 10 days’ written notice to the Borrower, may effect such insurance from year to year at rates substantially
similar to the rate at which such Loan Party had insured such property, and pay the premium or premiums therefor, and the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent on demand such premium or premiums so paid by the
Administrative Agent with interest from the time of payment at a rate per annum equal to 2.00%, 

  
 112









 (iv) If such property, or any part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged
and the reasonably estimated cost thereof would exceed $50.0 million, the Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. All insurance proceeds paid or payable in connection with any damage or casualty to any such property

other condition of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with officers and employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and with its independent certified public accountants, in each case at any reasonable time, upon reasonable
notice; provided that (a) except during the continuation of an Event of Default, only one such visit shall be at the Borrower’s expense, and (b) during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and its
representatives may do any of the foregoing at the Borrower’s expense. 
 6.7 Notices. Promptly give notice to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender of: 
 (a) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
knows thereof, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; 
 (b) as soon as possible after a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower knows thereof, any litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at any time between the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Governmental Authority, which would reasonably be expected to be
adversely determined, and if adversely determined, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (c) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows thereof, any litigation or proceeding affecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (d) the following events, as soon as possible and in any event
within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries knows thereof: (i) the occurrence or expected occurrence of any Reportable Event with respect to any Single Employer Plan, a failure to make any
required contribution to a Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the creation of any Lien on the property of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in favor of the PBGC or a Plan or any withdrawal from, or the full or partial termination,
Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan or (ii) the institution of proceedings or the taking of any other formal action by the PBGC or the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity or any
Multiemployer Plan which could reasonably be 

  
 113









 
expected to result in the withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan; provided, however, that no such
notice will be required under clause (i) or (ii) above unless the event giving rise to such notice, when aggregated with all other such events under clause (i) or (ii) above, would be reasonably expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect; and 
 (e) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows thereof,
(i) any Release by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Materials of Environmental Concern required to be reported under applicable Environmental Laws to any Governmental Authority, unless the Borrower reasonably determines
that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such Release would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any condition, circumstance, occurrence or event not previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative
Agent that would reasonably be expected to result in liability or expense under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the Borrower reasonably determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such condition, circumstance, occurrence or
event would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would not reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of any lien or other material restriction on the title, ownership or transferability of any facilities and
properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) any proposed action to be taken by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any material additional or different requirements or liabilities under Environmental Laws, unless the Borrower reasonably
determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such proposed action would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this subsection 6.7 shall be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (and, if applicable, the relevant Commonly Controlled Entity or Subsidiary) setting
forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower (or, if applicable, the relevant Commonly Controlled Entity or Subsidiary) proposes to take with respect thereto.

any Governmental Authority; (ii) obtain, comply substantially with and maintain any and all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations as conducted and as planned; and (iii) require that all tenants, subtenants, contractors, and
invitees obtain, comply substantially with and maintain any and all Environmental Permits necessary for their operations as conducted and as planned, with respect to any property leased or subleased from, or operated by the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries. Noncompliance shall not constitute a breach of this subsection 6.8, provided that, upon learning of any actual or suspected noncompliance, the Borrower and any such affected Subsidiary shall promptly undertake
reasonable efforts, if any, to achieve compliance; and provided, further, that in any case such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 114









 6.9 After-Acquired Real Property and Fixtures; Addition of Subsidiaries. 

(a) With respect to any owned real property or fixtures thereon, in each case with a purchase price or a fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Borrower) at the time of acquisition of at least $5.0 million in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party (and in any event excluding any Foreign Subsidiary and any Excluded
Subsidiary) acquires ownership rights at any time after the Closing Date, promptly grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, a Lien of record on all such owned real property and fixtures, upon terms reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and in accordance with any applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority (including any required appraisals of such property under FIRREA); provided that (i) nothing in
this subsection 6.9 shall defer or impair the attachment or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents which would attach or be perfected pursuant to the terms thereof without action by any Loan
Party or any other Person and (ii) no such Lien shall be required to be granted as contemplated by this subsection 6.9 on any owned real property or fixtures the acquisition of which is or is to be financed or refinanced in whole or in part
through the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by subsection 7.1, until such Indebtedness is repaid in full (and not refinanced as permitted by subsection 7.1) or, as the case may be, the Borrower determines not to proceed with such financing or
refinancing. In connection with any such grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, of a Lien of record on any such real property in accordance with this subsection, the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent any surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents in connection with such grant of such Lien obtained by it in connection with the acquisition
of such ownership rights in such real property or as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request (in light of the value of such real property and the cost and availability of such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other
documents and whether the delivery of such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents would be customary in connection with such grant of such Lien in similar circumstances). 

(b) With respect to any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) created or acquired (including by reason of any Foreign
Subsidiary Holdco ceasing to constitute same) subsequent to the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, if the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected security interest (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock
of such new Domestic Subsidiary, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative (as bailee for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent) the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together
with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the parent of such new Domestic Subsidiary and (iii) cause such new Domestic Subsidiary (A) to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement and (B) to take all actions reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to cause the Lien created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s Collateral to be duly
perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. 

  
 115









 (c) (x) With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than
an Excluded Subsidiary) created or acquired subsequent to the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), the Capital Stock of which is owned directly by the Borrower or any of its Domestic
Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request (it being understood that if the Administrative Agent does not so
request with respect to any such Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that it believes is or is likely to become material to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, it will provide notice to the Lenders thereof),
promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a new pledge agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or
reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected security interest (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Foreign
Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that is directly owned by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) (provided that in no event shall more than 65.0% of the Capital Stock of any such new Foreign
Subsidiary that is so owned be required to be so pledged, and, provided, further, that no such pledge or security shall be required with respect to any non-wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that
the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was made therein other than any agreement entered into primarily for the purposes of
imposing such a restriction) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative (as bailee for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent) the
certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the relevant parent of such new Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary and take such
other action as may be reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein. 
 (d) At its own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any
document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the foregoing Liens or any other Liens created
pursuant to the Security Documents. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) no Loan Party
or any Affiliate thereof shall be required to take any action in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction in order to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. or to perfect
any security interests (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction) and (B) nothing in this subsection 6.9 shall require that any Loan Party grant a
Lien with respect to any owned real property or fixtures in which such Loan Party acquires ownership rights to the extent that the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, determines that the granting of such a Lien is impracticable.

to, or listed as exceptions to title in, the title policy or policies referred to in this subsection;

Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Borrower would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately prior to giving effect thereto; and any Refinancing Indebtedness with
respect to any such Indebtedness; 
 (xii) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred as
consideration in connection with, or otherwise to finance, any acquisition of assets (including Capital Stock), business or Person, or any merger or consolidation of any Person with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and any
Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding $100.0 million;

 (xiv) (i) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
(a) pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) pursuant to the ABL Facility or (c) constituting Additional Permitted Obligations, provided that the aggregate principal amount for all such Indebtedness Incurred in
reliance on this clause (i) of this subsection 7.1(b)(xiv) on the date of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness shall not exceed an amount if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such amount (assuming such amount had Senior Lien Priority
or Pari Passu Priority and, in the case of amounts under a revolving commitment, including the unused portion of such revolving commitments in which case such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time
to time, without further compliance with this subsection 7.1(b)(xiv)), the Consolidated Secured First Lien Leverage Ratio would exceed 3.25 to 1.00 (as set forth in an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the
Administrative Agent at the time of such Incurrence, together with calculations demonstrating compliance with such ratio), (ii) Indebtedness in respect of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes Incurred pursuant to a Permitted Debt Exchange in
accordance with subsection 2.6 and (iii) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Indebtedness described in this clause (xiv). 
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this subsection 7.1, (i) any other
obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have Incurred such Indebtedness under this subsection 7.1) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument
or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness;
(ii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in subsection 7.1(b), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and
type of such Indebtedness in one or more of such clauses (including in part under one such clause and in part under another such clause); provided that any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this subsection 7.1 as limited by
the proviso thereto, or clause (b)(xiii) of this subsection 7.1, shall, at the Borrower’s election, cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of such 

  
 121









 
clause but shall be deemed Incurred for the purposes of subsection 7.1(a) from and after the first date on which such Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under subsection
7.1(a) without reliance on such clause; (iii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and
(iv) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of subsection 7.1(b) shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness. Any
Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower on the Closing Date under the Term Facility, the Senior First Priority Notes or the ABL Facility shall be classified as Incurred under subsection 7.1(b)(i). 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a
foreign currency, the Dollar equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term
Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, provided that (x) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such
refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been
exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount
of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (z) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to a
Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Borrower’s option, (i) the Closing Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such Senior Credit
Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities hereunder or thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or (iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any
Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 7.2 Limitation on Liens. The Borrower

 SECTION 9 THE AGENTS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES. 
 9.1
Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably
authorizes Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Agents or the Other Representatives. Each of the Agents may perform any of its respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or
therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed that, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates). 
 9.2 Delegation of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no
Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3
Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent, any Other Representative or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, 

  
 146









 statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent or any Other
Representative under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Notes or any other Loan Document,

other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, (vii) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents and (viii) the value
or the sufficiency of any Collateral. No Agent or any Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any Lender 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Other Representatives
or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. Each Lender agrees that the Agent and the Other Representatives (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates) shall not: (i) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agents are required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable law; and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

9.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no
liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may
deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 10.6 and all actions required by such subsection in connection with such transfer shall have been
taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any 

  
 147









 Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case
may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Each Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a) as it deems appropriate or 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
and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 9.5 Notice of Default.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to
subsection 10.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 9.6 Acknowledgements
and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent or Other Representative nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other
Representative to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, neither any Agent nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender (except, in the case of the following clause (1), any Affiliated Lender) represents to each other
party hereto that (1) it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or 

  
 148









 company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of
its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and (2) it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 10.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder. 
 9.7 Indemnification.

 (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) and each Other Representative (or any Affiliate
thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Credit Percentages in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this subsection 9.7, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal
proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The agreements in this subsection 9.7(a) shall
survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata
against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 

9.8 The Agents and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity. The Agents, the Other Representatives and their Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any other Loan Party as though the Agents and the Other Representatives were not the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agents and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities.


  
 149

Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 
 (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to (A) release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan

 150









 (c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case
as contemplated by subsection 10.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this subsection. 

(d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 9.9 or in any of the

the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 

9.11 Other Representatives. None of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the
definition of “Other Representative” contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such. 
 9.12 [Reserved]. 
 9.13 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any
applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a
claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed
to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the
Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest,
additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses. 
 9.14 Approved Electronic Communications. Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications
available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved
Electronic Platform”). The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided (subject to subsection 10.16) “as is” and “as available.” 

Each of the Lenders and (subject to subsection 10.16) each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as
may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and
policies.

thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or change the currency in which any Loan is payable, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being
understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and

 (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 10.1(a) or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders,” or consent
to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than pursuant to subsection 7.3 or 10.6(a)), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders;

 (iii) release any Guarantor under any Security Document, or, in the aggregate (in a single transaction or a

(b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this subsection 10.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and

impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended
(or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) 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 existing Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof,
(y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and (z) to provide class protection for any additional credit

herein to the contrary, (x) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in accordance with subsection 2.5 to incorporate the terms of any Incremental Commitments (including to add a new revolving facility under this Agreement
with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment) with the written consent of the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments, (y) the scheduled date 

  
 154









 of maturity of any Loan owed to any Lender may be extended, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
may be amended to effect such extension in accordance with subsection 2.7, with the written consent of the Borrower and such Lender, as contemplated by subsection 2.7 or otherwise, and (z) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend
this Agreement without the consent of any Lender to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, in each case without the consent of any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any provision of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including subsection 3.4(a), 3.4(d), 3.8(a) or 10.7 hereof, may be amended as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence pursuant to any Incremental Commitment Amendment or any Extension Amendment, as the
case may be, to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between any Tranches, including the Term Loans, any Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loans and any Extended Term Tranche, or to provide for the
inclusion, as appropriate, of the Lenders of any Extended Tranche or Incremental Tranche in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder (and with respect to non-pro rata
borrowings and payments, only to the extent such amendment is not inconsistent with subsection 2.5(d)(i)(C)(II) or 2.7(c)(ii)). The Administrative Agent hereby agrees (if requested by the Borrower) to execute any amendment referred to in this clause
(e) or an acknowledgement thereof. 
 (f) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of
or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by subsection 10.1(a), the consent of each Lender, the Supermajority Lenders or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the
Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, on prior written
notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to subsection 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs
and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower
to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided,
further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full (including the applicable premium that would be payable under subsection 3.4(a) if it were a voluntary
prepayment, provided that in the case of any such assignment prior to April 12, 2013, the applicable premium shall be 2% of the principal amount of the loan so assigned) by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with
such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) upon notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the relevant Loans in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty (except as provided in subsection 3.4, except that in the case
of any such prepayment prior to April 12, 2013, such prepayment shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 2% of the principal amount of the loans so prepaid). In connection with any such replacement under this subsection 10.1(f), if the
Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the
Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and 

  
 155









 
Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in
full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be
entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender. 
 10.2 Notices. 
 (a) All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or three days after being deposited in the

provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Other Representative or any Lender (or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers,

 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

(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 (i) other than in accordance with subsection 7.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender
(and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this subsection 10.6.

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the
ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign (other than to a Disqualified Lender or any natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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 (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such
assignment; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below). 
 (ii)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, the amount of Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1.0 million unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) 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; 

  
 159









 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee, if applicable, of $3,500.00 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case); provided that for concurrent assignments to two or
more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this subsection 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender or any natural person. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection 10.6 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 paragraph (c) of this subsection. 

(iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s
agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Person is a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term
Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders. 

  
 160









 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment
and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (vi) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being
assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.” 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing
from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be
effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other
provisions of this subsection 10.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service.
If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Borrower shall have no obligation to make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such
Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein
until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein. 
 Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the
assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under
subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment. 

  
 161









 (c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to Disqualified Lenders and natural persons (it being understood that upon reasonable request to the
Administrative Agent, a list of such Disqualified Lenders (with respect to financial institutions pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof) shall be made available to any Lender)) to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly
and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as
though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender. 
 (ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such
participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent
such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under
subsection 3.11. 
 (iii) Subject to paragraph (c)(ii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on
terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing. 

  
 162









 (iv) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for itself and, solely for this
purpose, as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the interest and principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit
or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in its Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior
written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such
information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with
applicable law. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded
hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it
will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial
bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees
to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying
Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of
the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection
10.6(f), in the 

  
 163









 
event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly
to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 
 (g) If the
Borrower wishes to replace the Loans under any Tranche with ones having different terms, it shall have the option (with respect to the Term Loans, on or after April 12, 2013), with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least
three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders instead of prepaying the Loans of such Tranche to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms
thereof in accordance with subsection 10.1 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to subsection 10.1(f)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among
the Lenders under such Tranche in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsections 3.4 or
3.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Tranche, as applicable, shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans under such Tranche pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as
Exhibit B, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in
the Collateral during any such replacement. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any
Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to any Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) any Parent, the Borrower and any Subsidiary
may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction); provided that any such Dutch auction by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall be made in accordance with subsection 3.4(i), or (y) open market purchases;
provided that: 
 (i) any Loans acquired by Holding, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be
retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof; 
 (ii) with respect to any assignment to or by an
Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund, 
 (a) such Affiliated Lender and such other Lender shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); 

(b) at the time of such assignment after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans
held (or participated in) by Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 30.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding under this Agreement 

  
 164









 
(and, for purposes of determining compliance with this subsection 10.6(h)(ii)(b), at the request of an Affiliated Lender party to such assignment the Administrative Agent shall request that each
Sponsor confirm (and each Sponsor agrees to confirm) to the Administrative Agent the aggregate principal amount of Loans held (or participated in) by Affiliated Lenders affiliated with such Sponsor as of the date of such assignment); 

(c) any such assignment shall not be permitted so long as an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (d) any such Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the
Borrower, be contributed to the Borrower, whether through a Parent or otherwise, and exchanged for debt or equity securities of the Borrower or such Parent that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, so long as any Loans so acquired by the Borrower shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof; and 
 (e) no Incremental Revolving Commitments (or related Obligations) may be assigned to any Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund
shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (B) receive any
information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the
Borrower or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege. 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in subsection 10.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary,
for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under
any Loan Document, an Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are
not such Affiliated Lenders; provided that no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any Loan Document shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its ratable share of any payments of Loans to which such
Affiliated Lender is entitled under the Loan Documents without such Affiliated Lender providing its consent; provided, further, that such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to approve any amendment, modification, waiver or consent
that (x) disproportionately and adversely affects such Affiliated Lender 

  
 165









 
or (y) is of the type described in subsections 10.1(a)(i) through (vi) (other than subclause (v)); and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) the Affiliated Lender agrees to execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 10.6(h)(iv); provided that if the
Affiliated Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this subsection 10.6(h)(iv) and (y) the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such
appointment being coupled with an interest) by such Affiliated Lender as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to
time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection 10.6(h)(iii). 

(v) Each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and
each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption agreement shall provide a confirmation that, if any of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), (i) such Affiliated Lender shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any
action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent) in relation to such Affiliated Lender’s claim with respect to its Term Loans (“Claim”) (including,
without limitation, objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Affiliated Lender is treated in connection with
such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders and (ii) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including, without limitation, voting on any plan of
reorganization), the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender (and any Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted in accordance with subsection 10.6(h)(iii) above, so long as such Affiliate Lender is treated in connection with the
exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund agree and acknowledge that the provisions set
forth in this subsection 10.6(h)(v) and the related provisions set forth in each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has filed for protection under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
or relief of debtors applicable to Holdings, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable. Each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled
with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Term Loans and participations therein and not
in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from 

  
 166









 
time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions
of this subsection 10.6(h)(v). 
 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. 

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans owing to it,
or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 8(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to subsection 2.6,
2.7, 3.4, 3.13(d), 10.1(f) or 10.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable
under subsection 8(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after
any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 10.8 Judgment. 
 (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an
amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in
the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 10.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 

  
 167









 (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in
subsection 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any
event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which
could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 10.8(b)
shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 Noon (New York time), would be
prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the
Agents or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

unconditionally:

may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified
in subsection 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and the Borrower shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or
proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential or punitive damages.

prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations which agrees to comply with the provisions of this subsection (or with other confidentiality provisions satisfactory to and

any of their respective Affiliates) being violated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Assignment and Acceptance, the provisions of this subsection 10.16 shall survive with respect to each Agent and
Lender until the second anniversary of such Agent or Lender ceasing to be an Agent or Lender, respectively

 Schedule 4.6: Litigation 

The Internal Revenue Service has issued letters proposing to disallow certain of our deductions and the carryback of certain of our net operating losses
to taxable years during which we were a member of Home Depot’s U.S. federal consolidated income tax return. We are estimating, based on such proposed disallowance, a proposed assessment of significant amounts of tax liabilities. The carryback
of the net operating losses was made in accordance with (and subject to the terms of) an agreement entered into between our ultimate parent corporation, HDS Investment Holding, Inc., and Home Depot.

 Schedule 4.17: Environmental Matters 

 

	1.	HD Supply Electrical, Ltd – 5285 Highway Ave, Jacksonville, Florida – Site Remediation. Soil and groundwater at the site have been found to contain
high levels of dichloroethene, trichloroethene, and vinyl chloride. Both on-site and off-site contamination is present. The soil and groundwater contamination at this site is believed to be the result of chlorinated solvent releases that occurred
prior to the Company’s purchase of the site in 1979 or 1980. The previous owners of the site, Pan American Screw and Southern Tank operations included cleaning metal materials with chlorinated solvents in an onsite building. The site is
currently enrolled Florida Brownfield program (Florida Brownfield Site Identification # BF160506001). The Remedial Action Plan for site clean-up has been approved by the state. Significant soil excavation is taking place in April 2012 under the
footprint of both buildings which have been demolished. Ground water remediation is planned using chemical injection and natural attenuation. Site remediation is expected to last at least three years and possibly as long as 10 to 20 years. The
current reserve for the remediation is approximately $1.5 million with an anticipated additional reserve of $1.5 million required. 

  

	2.	Storage yard parcel (Mercy Drive) – 3669 Old Winter Garden Rd, Orlando, Florida – Site Remediation. A salvage yard site was purchased that is adjacent
to the Orlando facility located at 3881 Old Winter Garden Rd. HD Supply, Inc. and its subsidiaries personnel detected free product around the old oil/water separator and additional organic concentrations in ground water were detected around
soil/water separators and southern-most hydraulic lift area. HD Supply, Inc. and its subsidiaries submitted a formal notice and clean-up plan to the Orange County Environmental Protection Division (OCEPD), which the OCEPD subsequently approved
(Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FLDEP) Facility ID # 489101555). HD Supply, Inc. and it subsidiaries completed source removal activities in October 2005. OCEPD required post-remediation monitoring to be conducted by June 2006. HD
Supply, Inc. and its subsidiaries continue to sample the groundwater quarterly. HD Supply and its subsidiaries anticipate obtaining a No Further Action determination from OCEPD and FLDEP by the end of 2012. 


 

	3.	HD Supply Repair & Remodel (Gulfbank Rd) – 8711 North Freeway, Houston, TX. An escrow account of $300K was established for this site to provide for
costs for remediation of remaining on-site contaminants. The escrow was set up following the sale of the property. HD Supply, Inc. and its subsidiaries did not occupy the site at any time. The current escrow balance is approximately $135,000.


  

	4.	HD Supply Construction Supply. California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District is investigating HD Supply, Inc.’s subsidiaries’
compliance with regulations regarding VOC content and labeling requirements with respect to some of the products they distribute.

represented thereby (including pursuant to the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement)), it is the intention of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties of each Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations that the holders of Cash Flow Collateral
Obligations of such Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (and not the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties of any other Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations) bear the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction that (x) any of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations of such Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations), (y) any of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations of such Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of Cash Flow Collateral
Obligations and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations but junior to the security interest of any other Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any other Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations that is not also Collateral for
the other Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any 

  
 35 









 
Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Series of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations). In the event of any Impairment with respect to any Series of Cash

Flow Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, shall not (and waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or
challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders in respect of the Collateral or
the provisions of this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Cash Flow Collateral Agents or the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby will take any action that would interfere with any
Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender under the ABL Documents with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, for
itself and on behalf of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, waives any and all rights it or the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest,

extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 2.3(c), each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, waives any and
all rights it or the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented by it may have as a pari passu lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which any other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or Cash
Flow Collateral Secured Party represented by such other Cash Flow Collateral Agent seeks to enforce its Liens in any Collateral (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between or among, any two or more Cash Flow
Collateral Agents, each on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby (including pursuant to the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement)).

Creditors represented thereby, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral). Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
ABL Lenders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the ABL Lenders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral
Secured Party seeks to enforce its Liens in any Cash Flow Priority Collateral (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between, any Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Creditors represented

(a) Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, no Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its
capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable) nor any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any of the ABL Priority Collateral without the written consent of the ABL Agent or

Agreement, including Section 4.1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party may (subject, as among the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, to any

creditors of the Credit Parties arising under either any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable
jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section, any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral; and


  
 38 









 (v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other
filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a
violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the ABL Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn. 

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, agrees that until the date upon which the Discharge of All Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations shall have occurred, neither the ABL Agent nor any ABL Lender will Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral without the written consent of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent or

constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly remitted to the Cash Flow Collateral Representative. From and after the date upon which the Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred (or prior
thereto upon obtaining the written consent of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative), the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the ABL Documents or applicable law as to any Cash Flow Priority Collateral;
provided, however, that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender is at all times subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.1 hereof.

 (i)
file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations, provided that an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Credit Party; 

(ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Cash Flow Priority Collateral, or the rights
of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties to exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article 6) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not
enforce) its Lien on and rights in, and the perfection and priority of its Lien on, any of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral; 
 (iii) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking
the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the ABL Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Cash Flow Priority Collateral or the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 

  
 39 









 (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert
rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Credit Parties arising under either any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including
the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section, any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to
the ABL Priority Collateral; and 
 (v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other
filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a
violation of the terms of this Agreement, and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization
withdrawn. 
 (c) No Cash Flow Collateral Agent nor any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor
Remedies with respect to any of the Collateral without the written consent of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative or knowingly take, receive or accept any Proceeds of Collateral (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and
solely as between or among, any two or more Cash Flow Collateral Agents, each on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby (including pursuant to the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement)), it being understood
and agreed that the temporary deposit of Proceeds of Collateral in a Deposit Account controlled by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly remitted to the Cash Flow
Collateral Representative (or, in the case of ABL Priority Collateral, to the ABL Agent); provided that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit any Cash Flow Collateral Agent from taking such actions in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral
Representative, if applicable. Subject to Section 2.3(a), the Cash Flow Collateral Representative may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the Cash Flow Collateral Documents or applicable law as to any Collateral; provided,
however, that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral by the Cash Flow Collateral Representative is at all times subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.1 hereof. Each Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Party hereby appoints the Cash Flow Collateral Representative as its agent to exercise all remedies under all Cash Flow Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Cash Flow Collateral
Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party may (subject to Section 2.3(a) and, as among the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, to any limitations separately agreed by and among Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, including pursuant to
the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement): 
 (i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to its
respective Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, provided that an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Credit Party; 

  
 40 









 (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on
the Collateral, or the rights of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party to exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article 6) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve
or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on and rights in, and the perfection and priority of its Lien on, any of the Collateral; 
 (iii) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking
the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 

(iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured
creditors of the Credit Parties arising under either any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable
jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section, any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the Collateral; and 

(v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions
(including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the
other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement,
and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent (i) the ABL Agent
or any ABL Lender from objecting to any proposed retention of Collateral by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby in full or partial satisfaction of any Cash Flow Collateral Obligations,
(ii) any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party from objecting to any proposed retention of Collateral by the ABL Agent or any ABL 

  
 41 









 
Lender in full or partial satisfaction of any ABL Obligations or (iii) any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby from objecting to any
proposed retention of Collateral by any other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby in full or partial satisfaction of any Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (except as may be otherwise separately
agreed by and among Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, including pursuant to the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement). 
 (e)
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, so long as such receipt is not
the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of
any Lien held by it. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any ABL Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of ABL Obligations, so long as such receipt is not the direct or
indirect result of the exercise by any ABL Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by it.

 Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights. 
 (a) Notice of ABL Agent’s Lien. Without limiting Section 2.3 hereof, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented
thereby, hereby agrees that, until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow

advise any purchaser or transferee of any ABL Priority Collateral in writing that the sale (whether public, private, by foreclosure, or otherwise) or other transfer is subject to the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, unless the ABL Agent
otherwise consents in writing. In addition, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, that, until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall
have occurred, any notice of any proposed foreclosure or sale of any ABL Priority Collateral and any other notice in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect thereto shall state prominently and clearly that the sale is
subject to the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Lenders’ prior Liens and that such Liens shall continue as against the ABL Priority Collateral to be sold, unless the ABL Agent otherwise consents in writing. 

(b) Notice of Cash Flow Collateral Agents’ Liens. 

(i) Without limiting Section 2.3 hereof, the ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, hereby
agrees that, until the date upon which the applicable Discharge of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender with respect to the Cash Flow
Collateral Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent 

  
 42 









 
or such ABL Lender, as applicable, shall advise any purchaser or transferee of any Cash Flow Priority Collateral in writing that the sale (whether public, private, by foreclosure, or otherwise)
or other transfer is subject to the Liens of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, unless, with respect to the Lien of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent, such Cash Flow Collateral Agent
otherwise consents in writing. In addition, the ABL Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, that, until the date upon which the applicable Discharge of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred, any notice of any
proposed foreclosure or sale of any Cash Flow Priority Collateral and any other notice in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect thereto shall state prominently and clearly that the sale is subject to the prior Liens
of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby and that such Liens shall continue as against the Cash Flow Priority Collateral to be sold, unless, with respect to the Lien of any Cash Flow
Collateral Agent, such Cash Flow Collateral Agent otherwise consents in writing. 
 (ii) Without limiting
Section 2.3 or Section 2.4(a) hereof, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby agrees that, until the date upon which the applicable Discharge of
Cash Flow Obligations shall have occurred, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby with respect to any Collateral, such Cash Flow
Collateral Agent or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, as applicable, shall advise any purchaser or transferee of any Collateral in writing that the sale (whether public, private, by foreclosure, or otherwise) or other transfer is subject to any
Liens of each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent and any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between or among, any two or more Cash Flow Collateral Agents,
in each case on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby). In addition, without limiting Section 2.4(a) hereof, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, that, until the date upon which the applicable Discharge of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred, any notice of any proposed foreclosure or sale of any Collateral and any other notice
in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect thereto shall state prominently and clearly that the sale is subject to any Liens of each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent and any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party
represented thereby and that such Liens shall continue as against the Collateral to be sold (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between or among, any two or more Cash Flow Collateral Agents, in each case on
behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby). 
 (c) No Other Restrictions.

 (i) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the ABL Agent, the ABL Lenders, each Cash Flow
Collateral Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party shall have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a 

  
 43

provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 4.1 hereof. The ABL Agent may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if
applicable) may enforce the provisions of its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents, and each may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all in such order and in such manner as each may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement and mandatory provisions of applicable law (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Parties, solely as among such Parties and the Secured Parties
represented thereby); provided, however, that each of the ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable) agrees to provide to each other such Party copies
of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to any Borrower or any Guarantor; provided, further, however, that any failure by the ABL Agent to provide any such copies to any other such Party shall not
impair any of the ABL Agent’s rights hereunder or under any of the ABL Documents and any failure by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent to provide any such copies to any other such Party shall not impair any of such Cash Flow Collateral Agent’s
rights hereunder or under any of its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents. 
 (ii) Each of the ABL Agent
and the ABL Lenders agrees that it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party

or omitted to be taken. 
 (iv) Each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow
Collateral Representative, if applicable) and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby agrees that it will not institute any suit or other 

  
 44

behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby). 
 (d) Release of Liens. 

(i) In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in
connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the ABL Agent, (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as such sale, transfer or other
disposition is then permitted by the ABL Documents or (C) the release of the ABL Secured Parties’ Lien on all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as such release shall have been approved by the requisite ABL
Lenders (as determined pursuant to the ABL Documents), in the case of clauses (B) and (C) only to the extent prior to the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred and not in connection with a Discharge of ABL
Obligations (and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred), each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, that so long as the net cash proceeds of any
such sale, if any, described in clause (A) above are applied as provided in Section 4.1 hereof, such sale will be free and clear of the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, and Liens of each
Cash Flow Collateral Agent and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, disposed or released shall terminate and be automatically released without further action.
In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the ABL Agent in connection therewith, so long as the net cash
proceeds, if any, from such sale or other disposition of such ABL Priority Collateral described in clause (A) above are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Cash Flow Collateral Agent hereby appoints the ABL Agent and
any officer or duly authorized person of the ABL Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of such Party and in the name of such Party or in the ABL
Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments
as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). 

  
 45 









 (ii) In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or
any portion of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any
portion of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the Cash Flow Priority Collateral Documents or (C) the release of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties’ Liens
on all or any portion of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral, so long as such release shall have been approved by the Requisite Cash Flow Holders, in the case of clauses (B) and (C) only to the extent prior to the date upon which the
Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred and not in connection with a Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred), the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of
itself and the ABL Lenders, that so long as the net cash proceeds of any such sale, if any, described in clause (A) above are applied as provided in Section 4.1 hereof, such sale will be free and clear of the Liens on such Cash Flow
Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, disposed or released shall terminate and be automatically
released without further action. In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, the ABL Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Cash Flow Collateral Representative in connection
therewith, so long as the net cash proceeds, if any, from such sale or other disposition described in clause (A) above of such Cash Flow Priority Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The ABL Agent hereby
appoints the Cash Flow Collateral Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney
in the place and stead of the ABL Agent and in the name of the ABL Agent or in the Cash Flow Collateral Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Cash Flow Collateral Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of
carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without

Section 2.5 No New Liens. 
 (a) Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, the parties hereto agree that no Cash Flow Secured Party shall knowingly acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any
Credit Party securing any Cash Flow Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein. If any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in
breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Cash Flow Collateral Obligations which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth
herein, then the relevant Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party (or the Cash Flow Collateral Agent representing such relevant Cash 

  
 46 









 
Flow Collateral Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Cash Flow
Collateral Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of the ABL Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of the
existence of such Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (i) shall not apply to any Lien on any property of any Credit Party securing any Purchase Money Obligation or Capitalized Lease Obligation owing to any Cash Flow Collateral
Secured Party, or any Lien on any property that has been sold or otherwise transferred in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction entered into with any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, or that consists of property subject to any such
sale and leaseback transaction or general intangibles related thereto (in each case, to the extent such property constitutes Excluded Assets (as defined in the ABL Documents)). 

(b) Until the date upon which the Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred, the parties hereto agree that:

 (i) No ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any ABL
Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent under its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (except to the extent provided in Section 7.22
hereof). If any ABL Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent under
its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (except to the extent provided in Section 7.22 hereof), then the ABL Agent (or the relevant ABL Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further
consent of any other ABL Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent as security for its respective Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify each Cash Flow Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (i) shall not apply to
any Lien on (x) any Note Excluded Assets, to the extent provided in Section 7.22 hereof or (y) any property of any Credit Party securing any Purchase Money Obligations or Capitalized Lease Obligation owing to any ABL Secured Party, or
any Lien on any property that has been sold or otherwise transferred in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction entered into with any ABL Secured Party, or that consists of property subject to any such sale and leaseback transaction or
general intangibles related thereto (in each case under this clause (y), to the extent such property constitutes Excluded Assets (as defined in the Cash Flow Collateral Documents referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph)). 

(ii) No Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any
Cash Flow Collateral Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent under its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (except to the extent provided
in Section 7.22 hereof). If any Cash Flow 

  
 47 









 
Collateral Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Cash Flow Collateral Obligation which assets are not also
subject to the Lien of each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent under its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (except to the extent provided in Section 7.22 hereof), then such relevant Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Party (or the Cash Flow Collateral Agent representing such relevant Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in any other Cash Flow Collateral Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent as security for its respective Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (subject to the Lien
Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (ii) shall not apply to (x) any Note Excluded Assets, to
the extent provided in Section 7.22 hereof or (y) any property of any Credit Party securing any Purchase Money Obligations or Capitalized Lease Obligation owing to any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, or any Lien on any property that
has been sold or otherwise transferred in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction entered into with any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, or that consists of property subject to any such sale and leaseback transaction or general
intangibles related thereto (in each case under this clause (y), to the extent such property constitutes Excluded Assets (as defined in the Cash Flow Collateral Documents referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph)). 

Section 2.6 Waiver of Marshalling. 
 Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, will not (including in its capacity as Cash
Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable) assert, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other
similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law. 

Until the Discharge of All Cash Flow Obligations, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to assert
and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under
applicable law with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law. 
 ARTICLE 3  
 ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES 

Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. 
 The ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the ABL Obligations or its related Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, as applicable, as are
necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time.

 Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection. 

The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Lender, and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash
Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable), for and on behalf of itself and each Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby, as applicable, each agree to hold all Control Collateral and Cash Collateral that is part of the Collateral
in their respective possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either) as agent for each other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Control
Collateral or Cash Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. None of the ABL Agent, the ABL Lenders, any Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable) or
any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Cash Collateral or the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person or to
preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral
and the Cash Collateral in their possession as agent for the other Parties for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the ABL Agent and any Cash Flow Collateral Agent, as applicable. The ABL Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of
any kind for any Cash Flow Collateral Agent, the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties or any other Person. Any Cash Flow Collateral Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the ABL Agent, the ABL Lenders, any other Cash
Flow Collateral Agent, any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented by any other Cash Flow Collateral Agent, or any other Person. In the event that (a) the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender receives any Collateral or Proceeds of the
Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement or (b) any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party receives any Collateral or Proceeds of the Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement,
then the ABL Agent, such ABL Lender, such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or such Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, as applicable, shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Collateral to (i) in the case of ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds
thereof, the ABL Agent, or (ii) in the case of Cash Flow Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof, the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, in each case, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement. Each Credit Party shall deliver all Control Collateral and all Cash Collateral required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents (i) in the case of ABL Priority
Collateral or Proceeds thereof, to the ABL Agent, or (ii) in the case of Cash Flow Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof, to the Cash Flow Collateral Representative. 

Section 3.3 Sharing of Information and Access. 
 In the event that the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and Records of any Cash Flow Credit Party
that contain information identifying or pertaining to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall, upon request of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent and as 

  
 49 









 
promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to such Party such books and Records for inspection and duplication or provide to such Party copies thereof. In the event that any Cash
Flow Collateral Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Cash Flow Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any ABL Credit Party that contain information identifying or pertaining to
any of the ABL Priority Collateral, such Party shall, upon written request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL
Agent copies thereof. Each Credit Party and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent hereby consent to the non-exclusive royalty free use by the ABL Agent of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral for the purposes of disposing of any ABL
Priority Collateral and, in the event that any Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Cash Flow Collateral Documents or otherwise, obtain title to any such Intellectual Property, such Party hereby irrevocably
grants the ABL Agent a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without charge, such Intellectual Property as it pertains to the ABL Priority Collateral in advertising for sale and selling any ABL Priority Collateral. 

Section 3.4 Insurance. 
 Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive
right, as against each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable), to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority
Collateral. The Cash Flow Collateral Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent (other than in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable), to adjust
settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Cash Flow Priority Collateral. All proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Agent or to the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, as the case may
be, and each of the ABL Agent, the Cash Flow Collateral Representative and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1
hereof. 
 Section 3.5 No Additional Rights For the Credit Parties Hereunder. 

Except as provided in Section 3.6, if any ABL Secured Party or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party shall enforce its rights or
remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a
counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party. 

Section 3.6 Actions Upon Breach. 
 If any ABL Secured Party or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against the Credit Parties or the Collateral, the
Credit Parties, with the prior written consent of the ABL Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, as applicable, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the 

  
 50 









 
making of this Agreement, and any ABL Secured Party or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, as applicable, may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of
the Credit Parties. 
 Section 3.7 Inspection Rights. 

(a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, the
ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties may, at any time and whether or not any Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable) or any other Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party has commenced
and is continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies (the “ABL Permitted Access Right”), during normal business hours on any business day, access ABL Priority Collateral that (A) is stored or located in or on,
(B) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code), or (C) has been commingled with (within the meaning of Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code),

involvement of or interference by any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party or liability to any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party. In addition, subject to the terms hereof, the ABL Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of
the ABL Priority Collateral without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party (including the Cash Flow Collateral Representative) or liability to any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party (including the

commencing and continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to ABL Commingled Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such 180-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other
order. During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Agent or ABL Secured Parties (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Cash Flow Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured
Parties shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Cash Flow Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Cash Flow Priority Collateral in
substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The ABL Agent and ABL Secured Parties shall cooperate with the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties and/or the
Cash Flow Collateral Representative in connection with any efforts made by the Cash Flow Secured Parties and/or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative to sell the Cash Flow Priority Collateral.

(a) If the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate
of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an “ABL Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery.
If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or
otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, the ABL Lenders and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties under
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any
other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or any Cash Flow Collateral Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL
Lender shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender may have.

 (b) If any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented
thereby is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of its respective Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations (a “Cash Flow Collateral Recovery”), then such respective Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Cash Flow Collateral Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated
prior to such Cash Flow Collateral Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Cash Flow Collateral Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise
affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, the ABL Lenders and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties under this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other
circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or any Cash Flow Collateral Obligations. No priority or right of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent
or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms,
provisions, or covenants of any of the Cash Flow Collateral Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby may have. 

ARTICLE 6 

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS 
 Section 6.1 DIP Financing. 
 (a) If any Borrower or any
Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or the ABL Lenders shall seek to provide, or consent to a third party providing, any Borrower or
any Guarantor with any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be
secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral
Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the
Liens of such Cash Flow Collateral Agent securing the related Cash Flow Collateral Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) such Cash Flow
Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the related Cash Flow Collateral Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and, as to the Cash Flow
Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and any Lien securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the


  
 63 









 
Lien of such Cash Flow Collateral Agent on the Cash Flow Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a
parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral and (iii) if the ABL Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL
Obligations, such Cash Flow Collateral Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the related Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of the
ABL Agent and such Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent any Cash Flow Collateral Agent and any Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Party from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization. 
 (b) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to
be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.2 Relief From Stay.

 Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Cash
Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, shall not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written
consent. Until the Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, shall not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any
portion of the Cash Flow Priority Collateral without the Cash Flow Collateral Representative’s express written consent. In addition, no Cash Flow Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Cash Flow Collateral Representative, if applicable)
shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing 30 days’ prior written notice to each other Party, unless such period is agreed in writing by the ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent to be
modified. 
 Section 6.3 No Contest. 

(a) Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of the Cash Flow Collateral Agents or the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties shall
contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (ii) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender to any
motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long
as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between, any Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Additional Creditors represented thereby, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral). 

  
 64 









 (b) Prior to the Discharge of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations with respect to Cash Flow
Collateral Obligations held by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby, none of the ABL Agent or the ABL Lenders shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request
by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) hereof), or (ii) any objection by
such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented
thereby that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) hereof) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to
such Cash Flow Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. 
 (c) Prior to the
Discharge of Cash Flow Collateral Obligations with respect to the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations held by any other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby, no Cash Flow Collateral Agent or Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Party represented thereby shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by such other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby for adequate
protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (ii) any objection by such other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by
such other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency
Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Cash Flow Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between or among, any
two or more Cash Flow Collateral Agents, each on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby (including pursuant to the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement)). 

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. 
 Each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL
Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. The ABL
Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, will not oppose any sale consented to by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or the Cash Flow Collateral Representative of any Cash Flow Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy
Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Cash Flow
Priority Collateral and the Parties are unable to agree on the allocation of the purchase price between the ABL Priority Collateral and Cash Flow Priority Collateral, any Party may apply to the court in such Insolvency Proceeding to make a
determination of such allocation, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties 

  
 65 









 Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.

 Each ABL Lender, the ABL Agent, each Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent acknowledges
and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents, the Term Collateral Documents, the First Lien Note Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Note Collateral Documents and the Additional Collateral Documents
constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately
classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties, on
the one hand, and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, on the other hand, in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and any
Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Cash Flow Collateral Obligation claims against the Credit Parties (with the effect
being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Cash Flow Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Cash Flow
Collateral Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest that is
available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, on the other hand, before any distribution is made from the applicable pool of Priority Collateral in
respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties), with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the applicable pool
of Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries. The foregoing sentence is subject to any separate agreement by and between any
Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Creditors represented thereby, and any other Party, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby, with respect to the Additional Obligations owing to any of such Additional
Agent and Additional Creditors. 
 Section 6.6 Enforceability. 

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under
Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Section 6.7 ABL Obligations Unconditional. 

All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Cash Flow Collateral Agents and the Credit Parties (to
the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (i) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any ABL Document; 

  
 66 









 (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Document; 

(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other
collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or any guarantee or
guaranty thereof; or 
 (iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations, or of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement. 

Section 6.8 Cash Flow Collateral Obligations Unconditional. 

All rights of each Cash Flow Collateral Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent, the Cash Flow Collateral
Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Cash Flow Collateral Document; 
 (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by
course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Cash Flow Collateral Document; 
 (iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by
course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or 

(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party
in respect of the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, or of any of the ABL Agent, any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement. 

  
 67 









 Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. 

Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of (a) the ABL
Agent and the ABL Lenders or (b) any Cash Flow Collateral Agent and any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, respectively, from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their interests in the applicable Collateral in
any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, fees, charges, or expenses, additional or replacement collateral, claims or otherwise; provided that
(a) in the event that the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Lenders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the ABL Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional
collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Cash Flow Priority Collateral, then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the ABL Lenders, agrees that the Cash Flow Collateral Agents shall each also be granted a senior
Lien on such collateral as security for their respective Cash Flow Collateral Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations shall be subordinate to any Lien on such collateral securing the Cash Flow Collateral
Obligations (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between, any Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Creditors represented thereby, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders,
with respect to the Cash Flow Priority Collateral) and (b) in the event that any Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate
protection in respect of its and their respective Cash Flow Collateral Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute ABL Priority
Collateral, then such Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that the ABL Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the ABL
Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing such Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall be subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations. 

ARTICLE 7 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. 
 Each Cash Flow Collateral
Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that no payment by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party to the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle such Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party represented thereby to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have
occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in
connection therewith by the ABL Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. 

  
 68 









 The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, agrees that no payment by
the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender to any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect
thereof until the Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of All Cash Flow Collateral Obligations, each Cash Flow Collateral Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments
as the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations resulting from payments to such Cash Flow Collateral Agent by such Person, so
long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Cash Flow Collateral Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. 

Section 7.2 Further Assurances. 
 The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or
desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable such Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided,
however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law,
order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further
responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2. It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 7.2 shall supersede the obligation of the Company pursuant to any provision in any Credit Document
relating to the reimbursement of expenses of any Party, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.3 Representations.

 Each Cash Flow Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the ABL Agent and each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent that
it has the requisite power and authority under its respective Cash Flow Collateral Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented by
it. The ABL Agent represents and warrants to each Cash Flow Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the ABL Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the
ABL Lenders. 
 Section 7.4 Amendments. 
 (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Party hereto, shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the ABL
Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without the consent of any Party hereto, amend this Agreement by (x) executing an Additional Indebtedness Joinder as provided in Section 7.11
or (y) executing a joinder agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached 

  
 69 









 
hereto as provided for in the definition of “ABL Credit Agreement,” or “Term Credit Agreement,” “First Lien Indenture” or “Second Lien Indenture”, as
applicable. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure therefrom by any Party hereto, that changes, alters, modifies or otherwise affects any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or
obligation of, or otherwise affects in any manner, any Additional Agent that is not then a Party, or any Additional Creditor not then represented by an Additional Agent that is then a Party (including but not limited to any change, alteration,
modification or other effect upon any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of or other effect upon any such Additional Agent or Additional Creditor that may at any subsequent time become a Party or beneficiary hereof) shall be
effective unless it is consented to in writing by the Company (regardless of whether any such Additional Agent or Additional Creditor ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof), and any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit Document to this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying any Credit Document, or any term or provision
thereof, or any right or obligation of the Company or any other Credit Party thereunder or in respect thereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and each other affected Credit Party.

 (b) In the event that the ABL Agent or the requisite ABL Lenders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of
or replace any ABL Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departure from any provisions of, any ABL Collateral Document relating to the ABL Priority Collateral or changing in any manner
the rights of the ABL Agent, the ABL Lenders, or any ABL Credit Party with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (including the release of any Liens on ABL Priority Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to
any comparable provision of each Cash Flow Collateral Document without the consent of any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party, and without any action by any Cash Flow Collateral Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral
Secured Party; provided, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties in the Cash Flow Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall give written
notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to each Cash Flow Collateral Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Cash
Flow Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 7.4(b). 
 (c) In the event that any Cash Flow Collateral Agent that
is the Cash Flow Collateral Representative or the requisite Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Cash Flow Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to,
or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Cash Flow Collateral Document relating to the Cash Flow Collateral Priority Collateral or changing in any manner the rights of such Cash Flow Collateral Agent,
such Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, or any related Cash Flow Collateral Credit Party with respect to the Cash Flow Collateral Priority Collateral (including the release of any Liens on Cash Flow Collateral Priority Collateral), then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each ABL Collateral Document 

  
 70 









 
without the consent of or any actions by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as between, such Cash Flow Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders); provided that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights or
interests of the ABL Secured Parties in the ABL Priority Collateral. Such Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the ABL Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any ABL Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 7.4(c). 
 (d) In the event that any Cash Flow Collateral Agent that is the Cash Flow Collateral Representative or the requisite Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby enter into any amendment,
waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Cash Flow Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Cash Flow Collateral Document relating to the Cash
Flow Collateral Priority Collateral or changing in any manner the rights of such Cash Flow Collateral Agent, such Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, or any related Cash Flow Collateral Credit Party with respect to the Cash Flow Collateral
Priority Collateral (including the release of any Liens on Cash Flow Collateral Priority Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each other Cash Flow Collateral Document without
the consent of or any actions by any other Cash Flow Collateral Agent or Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by, and solely as among, any two or more Cash Flow Collateral Agents, each on behalf
of itself and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties); provided that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of such other Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties in the Collateral. Such
Cash Flow Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to each other Cash Flow Collateral Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to the provisions of any Cash Flow Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 7.4(d).

have executed the Additional Indebtedness Joinder with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, and the Company or any such Additional Agent shall have delivered such executed Additional Indebtedness Joinder to each other Agent then party to this
Agreement;

 (ii) at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in
writing by the Parties and the Company) prior to delivery of the Additional Indebtedness Joinder, the Company shall have delivered to each other Agent then party to this Agreement complete and correct copies of any Additional Credit Facility,
Additional Guaranties and Additional Collateral Documents that will govern such Additional Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be unexecuted copies of Additional Documents to be executed and delivered concurrently with the
effectiveness of such designation); 
 (iii) the Company shall have executed and delivered to each other Agent
then party to this Agreement an Additional Indebtedness Designation, with respect to such Additional Indebtedness; 
 (iv) all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes or fees (if any) that are payable in connection with the inclusion of such Additional Indebtedness under this Agreement
shall have been paid and reasonable evidence thereof shall have been given to each other Agent then party to this Agreement; and 
 (v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of each other Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional

security interest in Control Collateral or Cash Collateral, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions (including executing and recording any mortgage subordination or similar agreement), as may be reasonably deemed by the
Company to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority contemplated by this Agreement), and (y) otherwise to
reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7.11 (including without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of any Additional Indebtedness Joinder or of the occurrence of
any Additional Effective Date). 
 Section 7.12 Cash Flow Collateral Representative; Notice of Cash Flow Collateral
Representative Change. 
 The Cash Flow Collateral Representative shall act for the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties
as provided in this Agreement, and shall be entitled to so act at the direction of the Requisite Cash Flow Holders from time to time, except as otherwise agreed in writing by and among the Cash Flow Collateral Agents (including pursuant to the Cash
Flow Intercreditor Agreement). Until a Party (other than the existing Cash Flow Collateral Representative) receives written notice from the existing Cash Flow Collateral Representative, in accordance with Section 7.5 of this Agreement, of a
change in the identity of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative, such Party shall be entitled to act as if the existing Cash Flow Collateral Representative is in fact the Cash Flow Collateral Representative. Each Party (other than the existing
Cash Flow Collateral Representative) shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice of a change in the identity of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative which facially appears to be from the then existing Cash Flow Collateral Representative and
is delivered in accordance with Section 7.5 and such Agent shall not be required to inquire into the veracity or genuineness of such notice. Each existing Cash Flow Collateral Representative from time to time agrees to give prompt written
notice to each Party of any change in the identity of the Cash Flow Collateral Representative.

invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and shall not invalidate the Lien Priority or the application of Proceeds and other priorities set forth in this Agreement.

 The Parties agree that if any dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding is brought with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such

 Section 7.18 Intercreditor Agreement. 

This Agreement is the “Base Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Credit Facility, the
First Lien Indenture, the Second Lien Indenture and any Additional Credit Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment to the right of any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party
to receive payment or of any Cash Flow Collateral Secured Party to receive payment to the right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment (whether before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties that
this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens as between the ABL Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Cash Flow Collateral Secured Parties, on the other hand, but not a subordination of Indebtedness. 

Section 7.19 No Warranties or Liability. 
 The ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent each acknowledge and agree that none of the other Parties has made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality,
completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other ABL Document or any other Cash Flow Collateral Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent will be entitled to manage and
supervise their respective extensions of credit to any Credit Party in accordance with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate. 
 Section 7.20 Conflicts. 
 In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Document or any Cash Flow Collateral Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to negate any
specific rights granted to the Company or any other Credit Party in the ABL Documents and the Cash Flow Collateral Documents. 

Section 7.21 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Credit Parties.

None of the ABL Agent and the Cash Flow Collateral Agents has any responsibility for keeping any other Party informed of the financial
condition of the Credit Parties or of other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Cash Flow Collateral Obligations. The ABL Agent and each Cash Flow Collateral Agent hereby agree that no party shall have any
duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the ABL Agent or any Cash Flow Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to
provide any information to any other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (A) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (B) to undertake any
investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (C) to disclose any other information. 

  
 77 









 Section 7.22 Excluded Assets and Note Excluded Assets.

Nothing in this Agreement (including Sections 2.1, 2.5, 4.1, 6.1 and 6.9 hereof) shall be deemed to provide or require that: 

 

	(i)	any Agent or any Secured Party represented thereby receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on, any Property of any Credit Party that constitutes “Excluded
Assets” under (and as defined in) the applicable Credit Facility or any related Credit Document to which such Agent is a party, or 

  

	(ii)	the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent or any Additional Agent, or any Secured Party represented by such Agent, receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on,
any Property of any Credit Party that constitutes Note Excluded Assets, except to the extent otherwise designated by the Company at any time or from time to time with respect to all or any portion of the Note Excluded Assets.


 Any such designation by the Company as contemplated by the preceding clause (ii) shall be at the
Company’s option, may be made by the Company at the time such Agent first becomes a Party or at any time or from time to time thereafter, and (except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing between such Agent and the Company) may be
changed, modified or rescinded by the Company (at its option) at any time or from time to time with respect to all or any portion of the Note Excluded Assets.

such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any Secured Party. 
 Section 3.6 Actions
upon Breach. If any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against the Credit Parties or the Collateral, the Credit Parties, with the prior written consent of the Senior
Priority Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any Senior Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its own name or in the name of the Credit Parties. Should
any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, or attempt or threaten to take, any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect
to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Priority Agent (in its own name or in the name of the Credit Parties) may obtain relief against such Junior Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific
performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby, that the Senior Priority Secured Parties’
damages from such actions may be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and each Junior Priority Agent on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Secured Creditor represented thereby, waives any defense that the Senior Priority Secured
Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages. 
 ARTICLE IV 

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 
 Section 4.1 Application of Proceeds. 
 (a) Revolving Nature of
Certain Additional Obligations. Each Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) Senior Priority Credit Facilities may include a revolving commitment, that in
the ordinary course of business any Senior Priority Agent and Senior Priority Creditors may apply payments and make advances thereunder; (ii) the amount of Senior Priority Obligations that may be outstanding thereunder at any time or from time
to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of Senior Priority Obligations thereunder may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of Senior Priority Obligations
thereunder may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the any other Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; provided, however, that from and after the date on which any
Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor commences the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by any such Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1. The
Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of the Term Obligations, the First Lien Note
Obligations, the Second Lien Note Obligations, or any Additional Obligations, or any portion thereof.

 (b) Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Base
Intercreditor Agreement, each Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby agrees that all Collateral, and all Proceeds thereof, received by any Agent in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor
Remedies shall be applied, 
 first, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of costs and expenses of each
Agent, as applicable, in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, 
 second, to the
payment, on a pro rata basis (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between any applicable Senior Priority Agents, each on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby), of the Senior Priority
Obligations in accordance with the Senior Priority Documents until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred, 
 third, to the payment, on a pro rata basis (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between any applicable Junior Priority Agents, each on behalf of itself and the Junior
Priority Creditors represented thereby), of the Junior Priority Obligations in accordance with the Junior Priority Documents until the Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations shall have occurred; and 

fourth, the balance, if any, to the Credit Parties or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, 
 except that any Note Excluded Assets and Proceeds thereof
received by any Agent in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall not be applied to any First Lien Note Obligations, Second Lien Note Obligations or Additional Obligations to the extent provided in Section 7.23.

 This Agreement constitutes a separate agreement in writing as contemplated by clauses 4.1(c) third and 4.1(d) second of the
Base Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any proceeds of Collateral to be allocated under such clauses of the Base Intercreditor Agreement will be allocated in the order set forth above. 

(c) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, no Senior Priority Agent
shall have any obligation or liability to any Junior Priority Secured Party, or (except as may be separately agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority
Creditors represented thereby) to any other Senior Priority Secured Party, in each case regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations
undertaken by such Senior Priority Agent under the terms of this Agreement. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, no Junior Priority Agent shall have any obligation or liability (except as may be separately agreed in
writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby) to any other Junior Priority Secured Party, in each case regarding the adequacy of any
Proceeds or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by such Junior Priority Agent under the terms of this Agreement.

 (d) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Discharge. Subject to the obligations of each
Senior Priority Agent under the Base Intercreditor Agreement with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, each Senior Priority Agent shall deliver to the Junior Priority Representative or shall execute
such documents as the Company or as the Junior Priority Representative (if a Junior Priority Agent other than a Designated Agent) may reasonably request to enable it to have control over any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in such Senior
Priority Agent’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. As between any Junior Priority Agent and any other Junior Priority
Agent, any such Cash Collateral or Control Collateral held by any such Party shall be held by it subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2. 
 (e) Impairment of Senior Priority Debt. Each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Secured Parties represented by it, hereby acknowledges and agrees that solely
as among the Senior Priority Secured Parties, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary it is the intention of the Senior Priority Secured Parties of each Series of Senior Priority Debt that the holders of Senior Priority Debt of such Series
of Senior Priority Debt (and not the Senior Priority Secured Parties of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt) bear the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (x) any of the Senior Priority Obligations
of such Series of Senior Priority Debt are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of Senior Priority Debt), (y) any of the Senior Priority Obligations of such Series of Senior
Priority Debt do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of Senior Priority Debt and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series
of Senior Priority Debt) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Senior Priority Debt but junior to the security interest of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any
other Series of Senior Priority Debt that is not also Collateral for the other Series of Senior Priority Debt (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Senior Priority Debt, an
“Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt”). In the event of any Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt with respect to any Series of Senior Priority Debt, the results of such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt
shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Senior Priority Debt, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Senior Priority Debt (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Series of Senior
Priority Debt pursuant to Section 4.1) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Senior Priority
Debt subject to such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt. 
 (f) Senior Intervening Creditor. Notwithstanding
anything in Sections 4.1(c) to the contrary, solely as among the Senior Priority Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a Senior Priority Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in
priority to the Lien or security interest of any Series of Senior Priority Debt but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the Lien or security interest of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt (such
third party an “Senior Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Senior Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be
distributed in respect of the Series of Senior Priority Debt with respect to which such Impairment exists. 
 (g) Impairment
of Junior Priority Debt. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Secured Parties represented by it, hereby acknowledges and agrees that solely as among the Junior Priority Secured Parties, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary it is the intention of the Junior Priority Secured Parties of each Series of Junior Priority Debt that the holders of Junior Priority Debt of such Series of Junior Priority Debt (and not the Junior Priority Secured
Parties of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt) bear the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent 

  
 -31-









 
jurisdiction that (x) any of the Junior Priority Obligations of such Series of Junior Priority Debt are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other
than another Series of Junior Priority Debt), (y) any of the Junior Priority Obligations of such Series of Junior Priority Debt do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of Junior Priority
Debt and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Junior Priority Debt) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Junior Priority Debt but junior to
the security interest of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any other Series of Junior Priority Debt that is not also Collateral for the other Series of Junior Priority Debt (any such condition
referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Junior Priority Debt, an “Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt”). In the event of any Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt with
respect to any Series of Junior Priority Debt, the results of such Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Junior Priority Debt, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Junior
Priority Debt (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Series of Junior Priority Debt pursuant to Section 4.1) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such
Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Junior Priority Debt subject to such Impairment. 
 (h) Junior Intervening Creditor. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 4.1(c) to the contrary, solely as among the Junior Priority Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral for which a third
party (other than a Junior Priority Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the Lien or security interest of any Series of Junior Priority Debt but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the
case of any dispute) to the Lien or security interest of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt (such third party an “Junior Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Junior
Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be distributed in respect of the Series of Junior Priority Debt with respect to which such Impairment exists. 

Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether
or not any Credit Party shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any time when any other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. Each Agent, for and on
behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance. 

ARTICLE V 

INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
 Section 5.1 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers. 
 (a) All Senior
Priority Obligations at any time made or incurred by any Credit Party shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors
represented thereby, hereby waives notice of acceptance of, or proof of reliance by any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditors on, this Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or
nonpayment of all or any part of the Senior Priority Obligations. 
 (b) None of the Senior Priority Agents, the Senior
Priority Creditors, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of the respective directors, officers, employees, or agents of any of the foregoing, shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any
Proceeds, 

  
 -32-









 
or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to any
Senior Priority Credit Facility or any other Senior Priority Document, whether or not such Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under
the terms of any Junior Priority Credit Facility or any other Junior Priority Document (but not a default under this Agreement) or would constitute an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under any Senior Priority Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), no
Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall have any liability whatsoever to any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor as a result of such action, omission, or exercise, in each case so long as any such exercise does not
breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each Senior Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and extensions of credit under the relevant Senior Priority Credit Facility and other Senior Priority
Documents as it may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage its loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Priority Agents or Junior Priority Creditors have in the Collateral, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that no Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall incur any liability as a
result of a sale, lease, license, application, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof pursuant to the Senior Priority Documents, in each case so long as such disposition is conducted in accordance with
mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement.

Agreement), and without incurring any liability to any such Junior Priority Secured Party or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise

of Junior Priority Agent] hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified,

as First Lien Note Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Second Lien Note Agent, and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Cash Flow
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 In addition,
each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that each Junior Priority Collateral Document consisting of a mortgage covering any Collateral consisting of real estate
shall contain language appropriate to reflect the subordination of such Junior Priority Collateral Documents to the Senior Priority Documents covering such Collateral. 
 (d) Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented
thereby, and except as otherwise provided in the Base Intercreditor Agreement, each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, hereby agrees that, without affecting the obligations of
such Senior Priority Secured Parties hereunder, any other Senior Priority Agent and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby may, at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to any such
Senior Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to any such Senior Priority Secured Party, amend, restate, supplement,

any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority


  
 -35-









 
Creditors represented thereby, hereby agrees that, without affecting the obligations of such Junior Priority Secured Parties hereunder, any other Junior Priority Agent and any Junior Priority
Creditors represented thereby may, at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to any such Junior Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the
express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to any such Junior Priority Secured Party, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify any of the Junior Priority
Documents to which such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby is party or beneficiary in any manner whatsoever, including, to: 

(i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew, alter or increase, all or any of the Junior Priority

(ii) retain or obtain a Lien on any Property of any Person to secure any of the Junior Priority Obligations, and in
connection therewith to enter into any Junior Priority Documents;

 (f) The Senior Priority Obligations and the Junior Priority Obligations may be
refunded, replaced or refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under any Senior Priority Document or
any Junior Priority Document, respectively) of any Senior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditors, as the case may be, all without affecting the Lien Priorities provided for herein or the other
provisions hereof. If the indebtedness refunding, replacing or refinancing any such Senior Priority Obligations or Junior Priority Obligations is to constitute Senior Priority Obligations or Junior Priority Obligations hereunder (as designated by
the Company), as the case may be, the holders of such indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) shall bind themselves in writing to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Priority Agents (other than the First Lien Note Agent and any Designated Agent) and Junior Priority Agents (other than the Second Lien Note Agent and any Designated
Agent) (or, if there is no continuing Agent other than the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent and Designated Agents, as designated by the Company), and any such refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction shall be in accordance
with any applicable provisions of the Senior Priority Documents and the Junior Priority Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Priority Obligations and Junior Priority Obligations may be refunded, replaced or refinanced, in whole or in
part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent 

  
 -36-









 
(except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under any Senior Priority Document or any Junior Priority Document) of any Senior
Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditors, as the case may be, through the incurrence of Additional Indebtedness, subject to Section 7.11. 

Section 5.3 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement. If any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor is required
in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations (a “Senior Priority
Recovery”), then the Senior Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Senior Priority Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Priority Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full
force and effect in the event of such Senior Priority Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests,
agreements, and obligations of each Agent, each Senior Priority Creditor, and each Junior Priority Creditor under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge,
confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Credit Party or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior
Priority Obligations or the Junior Priority Obligations. No priority or right of any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any
Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Senior Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor may
have. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS 
 Section 6.1 Liens Granted in Insolvency
Proceedings. 
 (a) DIP Financing. If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in
the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, and any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Facility Creditor shall seek to provide, or consent to a third party providing, any Borrower or any Guarantor
with any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or
any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Secured Parties represented
thereby, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of such Junior Priority
Agent securing the related Junior Priority Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) such Junior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the
Collateral to secure the related Junior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing
shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Senior Priority Agents and the Senior Priority Creditors securing the Senior Priority Obligations on the Collateral and (iii) if such Senior Priority Agent receives an adequate
protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure Senior Priority Obligations, such Junior Priority Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the related Junior Priority
Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of such Senior Priority Agent and such Junior Priority Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions


  
 -37-









 
of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent any Junior Priority Agent and any Junior Priority Secured Party from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or
content of a plan of reorganization. 
 (b) All Liens granted to any Senior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Agent in any
Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations has occurred, each Junior Priority Agent,
for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Collateral without each Senior
Priority Agent’s express written consent. 
 Section 6.3 No Contest. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on
behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by any Senior
Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral or (ii) any objection by any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by
such Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such Senior
Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and any
Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, any Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them
shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by any other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other Senior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral,
or (b) any objection by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other
Senior Priority Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Senior Priority Agent as adequate
protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. 
 Section 6.4 Asset Sales. Each Junior Priority Agent
agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by any Senior Priority Agent of any Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any
similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. 
 Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Priority Security
Documents and the Junior Priority Security Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior Priority Obligations are fundamentally different
from the Junior Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
if it is held that the claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior
and junior secured claims), then the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Senior Priority Obligation claims and Junior Priority Obligation claims

against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority
Secured Parties), the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, prepetition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of postpetition interest that
is available from the Collateral for each of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, before any distribution from the Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties, with the Junior Priority Secured Parties
hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has
the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries. The foregoing sentence is subject to any separate agreement by and between any Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Creditors represented thereby, and any other Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Creditors represented thereby, with respect to the Obligations owing to any such Additional Agent and Additional Creditors. 
 Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code. 
 Section 6.7 Senior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Senior Priority Agents hereunder,
and all agreements and obligations of the Junior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Priority Document; 

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Senior
Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Senior Priority Document; 

(c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other
collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations or any
guarantee or guaranty thereof; 
 (d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or
any other Credit Party; or 
 (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations, or of any of the Junior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement. 

Section 6.8 Junior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Junior Priority Agents hereunder, and all agreements
and obligations of the Senior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Junior Priority Document; 

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Junior
Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Junior Priority Document; 

  
 -39-









 (c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any
security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any
portion of the Junior Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; 
 (d) the commencement of any
Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Credit Party; or 
 (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations, or of any of the Senior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement. 

Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the
rights of any Agent and the Secured Parties represented thereby from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their interests in the applicable Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a
cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, additional collateral or otherwise; provided that (a) in the event that any Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented
thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral,
then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations
and that any Lien on such collateral securing the Junior Priority Obligations shall be subordinate to any Lien on such collateral securing the Senior Priority Obligations and (b) in the event that any Senior Priority Agent, for or on behalf of
itself or any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional collateral comprising assets
of the type of assets that constitute Collateral, then such Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each other Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a pari passu
Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations owing to such other Senior Priority Agent and the Senior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, and that any such Lien on such collateral securing such Senior Priority
Obligations shall be pari passu to each such other Lien on such collateral securing such other Senior Priority Obligations (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in
each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby). 
 ARTICLE VII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors
represented thereby, agrees that no payment by such Junior Priority Agent or any such Junior Priority Creditor to any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle such Junior Priority
Agent or Junior Priority Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, following the Discharge of Senior
Priority Obligations with respect to the Senior Priority Obligations owed to any Senior Priority Agent and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, such Senior Priority Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and
instruments as any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Senior Priority 

  
 -40-









 
Obligations resulting from payments to such Senior Priority Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection
therewith by such Senior Priority Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. 
 Section 7.2 Further
Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may
reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable such Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be
required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any
of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or
distribution under this Section 7.2. 
 Section 7.3 Representations. The Term Agent represents and warrants to
each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Term Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Term Creditors. The First Lien Note Agent represents and
warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the First Lien Note Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the First Lien Noteholder Secured
Parties. The Second Lien Note Agent represents and warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Second Lien Note Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf
of itself and the Second Lien Noteholder Secured Parties. Each Additional Agent represents and warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the applicable Additional Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and
carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and any Additional Creditors represented thereby. 
 Section 7.4
Amendments. 
 (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any Party hereto, shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the Term Agent, the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent and any Additional Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without
the consent of any Party hereto, amend this Agreement by (x) executing an Additional Indebtedness Joinder as provided in Section 7.11 or (y) executing a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto as
provided for in the definition of “Term Credit Agreement,” “First Lien Note Indenture” or “Second Lien Note Indenture,” as applicable. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure therefrom by any Party hereto, that changes, alters, modifies or otherwise affects any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of, or otherwise affects in any manner, any Additional Agent that is not then a
Party, or any Additional Creditor not then represented by an Additional Agent that is then a Party (including but not limited to any change, alteration, modification or other effect upon any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation
of or other effect upon any such Additional Agent or Additional Creditor that may at any subsequent time become a Party or beneficiary hereof) shall be effective unless it is consented to in writing by the Company (regardless of whether any such
Additional Agent or Additional Creditor ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof). Any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit
Document to this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying any Credit Document, or any term or provision thereof, or any right or obligation of the Company or any other Credit Party thereunder or in respect
thereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and each other affected Credit Party. 

  
 -41-









 (b) In the event that any Senior Priority Agent or the requisite Senior Priority Creditors
enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Senior Priority Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Priority Document
relating to the Collateral or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Priority Agent, the Senior Priority Creditors, or any Credit Party with respect to the Collateral (including the release of any Liens on Collateral), then such amendment,
waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of or any actions by any Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditors; provided, that such
amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Junior Priority Creditors in the Collateral. The applicable Senior Priority Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the
Junior Priority Agents; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Junior Priority Collateral Document as set forth in this
Section 7.4(b). 
 Section 7.5 Addresses for Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice
or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, faxed, or sent by overnight express courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person or by courier service, upon receipt of a facsimile or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed). For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until
notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section) shall be as set forth below or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties.

 Section 7.6 No Waiver, Remedies. No failure on the part of any Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 Section 7.7 Continuing
Agreement, Transfer of Secured Obligations. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect (x) with respect to all Senior Priority Secured Parties and Senior Priority Obligations, until the
Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.3 and (y) with respect to all Junior Priority Secured Parties and Junior Priority Obligations, until the later of the Discharge of the Senior Priority
Obligations and the Discharge of the Junior Priority Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral, subject to Section 7.10. All references to any Credit
Party shall include any Credit Party as debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Credit Party in any Insolvency Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Senior Priority Agent, Senior Priority
Creditor, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations or the Junior Priority Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person, and such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to such Senior Priority Agent, Junior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditor or Junior Priority Creditor, as the case may be, herein or otherwise. The Senior
Priority Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other Parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide indebtedness to, or for the
benefit of, any Credit Party on the faith hereof. 
 Section 7.8 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. The validity,
performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto (it being understood that this Agreement does not supersede the Base Intercreditor Agreement). 

Section 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and it is not necessary that the
signatures of all Parties be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart will be deemed to be an original, and all together shall constitute one and the same document. 

Section 7.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of
each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Senior Priority Agents, the Senior Priority Creditors, the Junior Priority Agents, the Junior Priority Creditors and the Company and
the other Credit Parties. No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder. 
 Section 7.11
Designation of Additional Indebtedness; Joinder of Additional Agents. 
 (a) The Company may designate any Additional
Indebtedness complying with the requirements of the definition of “Additional Indebtedness” as Additional Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement, upon complying with the following conditions: 

(i) one or more Additional Agents for one or more Additional Creditors in respect of such Additional Indebtedness shall
have executed the Additional Indebtedness Joinder with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, and the Company or any such Additional Agent shall have delivered such executed Additional Indebtedness Joinder to each Agent then party to this
Agreement; 

  
 -43-









 (ii) at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in
writing by the Parties and the Company) prior to delivery of the Additional Indebtedness Joinder, the Company shall have delivered to each Agent then party to this Agreement complete and correct copies of any Additional Credit Facility, Additional
Guaranties and Additional Collateral Documents that will govern such Additional Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be unexecuted copies of Additional Documents to be executed and delivered concurrently with the
effectiveness of such designation); 
 (iii) the Company shall have executed and delivered to each Agent then
party to this Agreement the Additional Indebtedness Designation (including whether such Additional Indebtedness is designated Senior Priority Debt or Junior Priority Debt) with respect to such Additional Indebtedness; 

(iv) all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes or fees (if any) that are payable in
connection with the inclusion of such Additional Indebtedness under this Agreement shall have been paid and reasonable evidence thereof shall have been given to each Agent then party to this Agreement; and 

(v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 No Additional Indebtedness may be designated both Senior Priority Debt and Junior Priority Debt. 
 (b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the preceding Section 7.11(a), the designated Additional Indebtedness shall constitute “Additional Indebtedness”, any Additional Credit
Facility under which such Additional Indebtedness is or may be incurred shall constitute an “Additional Credit Facility”, any holder of such Additional Indebtedness or other applicable Additional Creditor shall constitute an
“Additional Creditor”, and any Additional Agent for any such Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Agent” for all purposes under this Agreement. The date on which such conditions specified in clause
(a) shall have been satisfied with respect to any Additional Indebtedness is herein called the “Additional Effective Date” with respect to such Additional Indebtedness. Prior to the Additional Effective Date with respect to any
Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed not to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of each Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the
basis that such Additional Indebtedness is not then designated. On and after the Additional Effective Date with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed to take into account such
Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of each Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Indebtedness is then designated. 

(c) In connection with any designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7.11, each Agent then party hereto
agrees at the Company’s expense (x) to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Term Collateral Documents, First Lien Note Collateral
Documents, Second Lien Note Collateral Documents or Additional Collateral Documents, as applicable, and any agreements relating to any security interest in Control Collateral and Cash Collateral, and to make or consent to any filings or take any
other actions (including executing and recording any mortgage subordination or similar agreement), as may be reasonably deemed by the Company to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional
Indebtedness to become a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority contemplated by the applicable Additional Indebtedness Designation delivered pursuant 

  
 -44-









 
to this Section 7.11 and by this Agreement), and (y) otherwise to reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7.11
(including, without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of any Additional Indebtedness Joinder or of the occurrence of any Additional Effective Date). 
 Section 7.12 Senior Priority Representative; Notice of Senior Priority Representative Change. The Senior Priority Representative shall act for the Senior Priority Secured Parties as provided
in this Agreement, and shall be entitled to so act at the direction of the Controlling Senior Priority Secured Parties, or the requisite percentage of such Controlling Senior Priority Secured Parties under the applicable Senior Priority Documents
(or the agent or representative with respect thereto) . Until a Party (other than the existing Senior Priority Representative) receives written notice from the existing Senior Priority Representative, in accordance with Section 7.5 of this
Agreement, of a change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative, such Party shall be entitled to act as if the existing Senior Priority Representative is in fact the Senior Priority Representative. Each Party (other than the existing
Senior Priority Representative) shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice of a change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative which facially appears to be from the then existing Senior Priority Representative and is delivered
in accordance with Section 7.5 and such Agent shall not be required to inquire into the veracity or genuineness of such notice. Each existing Senior Priority Representative from time to time agrees to give prompt written notice to each Party of
any change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative. 
 Section 7.13 Cash Flow Collateral
Representative. Each Senior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, and each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that the
Senior Priority Representative shall act as Cash Flow Collateral Representative under the Base Intercreditor Agreement at all times prior to the date upon which the Discharge of the Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred. Each Junior
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that prior to the date upon which the Discharge of the Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred, such Junior Priority Agent shall be ineligible
to act as the “Cash Flow Collateral Representative” under the Base Intercreditor Agreement and shall not act in such capacity. 
 Section 7.14 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 Senior Priority
Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, respectively. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the rights of the Company or any other Credit Party, or the obligations of the Company or any other Credit Party to pay
the Term Obligations, the First Lien Note Obligations, the Second Lien Note Obligations and any Additional Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. 

Section 7.15 Headings. The headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience
only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 
 Section 7.16
Severability. If any of the provisions in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement
and shall not invalidate the Lien Priority or the application of Proceeds and other priorities set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 7.17 Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that if any dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding is
brought with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other
costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement, irrespective of whether suit is brought.

 Section 7.18 VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RELATED THERETO, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED
IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT
ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. 
 (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY
HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A
TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
 (c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR
NOTICES IN SECTION 7.5. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 Section 7.19 Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the “Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the Term Credit Agreement, the First Lien Indenture, the Second Lien
Indenture and each Additional Credit Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any Junior Priority Secured Party to receive payment to the right of any Senior Priority Secured Party (whether before or after the
occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens as between the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on
the other hand, but not a subordination of Indebtedness. 
 Section 7.20 No Warranties or Liability. Each Party
acknowledges and agrees that none of the other Parties has made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other Term Document, any other First Lien Note
Document, any other Second Lien Note Document or any other Additional Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party will be entitled to manage and supervise its respective extensions of credit to any Credit Party in accordance
with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate. 

  
 -46-









 Section 7.21 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and the provisions of any Term Document, any First Lien Note Document, any Second Lien Note Document or any Additional Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the even of any conflict
between the Base Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the Base Intercreditor Agreement shall control; provided, however, that as permitted by the Base Intercreditor Agreement this Agreement is intended to
constitute a separate writing among Cash Flow Collateral Agents (as such term is defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) altering, among other things, the rights between the Senior Priority Creditors on the one hand and the Junior Priority
Creditors on the other hand. The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to negate any specific rights granted to the Company or any other Credit Party in the Term Documents, the First Lien Note Documents, the
Second Lien Documents or any Additional Documents. 
 Section 7.22 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the
Credit Parties. No Party has any responsibility for keeping any other Party informed of the financial condition of the Credit Parties or of other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Term Obligations, the First Lien Note
Obligations, the Second Lien Note Obligations or any Additional Obligations, as applicable. Each Party hereby agrees that no Party shall have any duty to advise any other Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such
circumstances. In the event any Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to
such other Party or any other Party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information. 

Section 7.23 Excluded Assets and Note Excluded Assets. Nothing in this Agreement (including Sections 2.1, 4.1, 6.1 and 6.9
hereof) shall be deemed to provide or require that: 
  

	(i)	any Agent or any Secured Party represented thereby receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on, any Property of any Credit Party that constitutes “Excluded
Assets” under (and as defined in) the applicable Credit Facility or any related Credit Document to which such Agent is a party, or 

  

	(ii)	the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent or any Additional Agent, or any Secured Party represented by such Agent, receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on,
any Property of any Credit Party that constitutes Note Excluded Assets, except to the extent otherwise designated by the Company at any time or from time to time with respect to all or any portion of the Note Excluded Assets.


 Any such designation by the Company as contemplated by the preceding clause (ii) shall be at the
Company’s option, may be made by the Company at the time such Agent first becomes a Party or at any time or from time to time thereafter, and (except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing between such Agent and the Company) may be
changed, modified or rescinded by the Company (at its option) at any time or from time to time with respect to all or any portion of the Note Excluded Assets 
 [Signature pages follow]

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Creditors, the
First Lien Note Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Noteholder Secured Parties, and the Second Lien Note Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Noteholder Secured Parties, have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and
delivered as of the date first above written.

 DESIGNATION dated as of

 2.1 Guarantee. 
 (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations. 
 (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding,
the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable law, including applicable federal and state laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the rights of contribution of each Guarantor provided in following subsection 2.2 be included as an asset
of the respective Guarantor in determining the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder. 
 (c) Each Guarantor agrees that
the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder. 
 (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans, all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 then due and owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower

 -13-









 (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or
application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of any of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any
such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations of
the Borrower guaranteed by it hereunder up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which all the Loans, and all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing, are paid in full in

hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worths of the Guarantors on the date the respective payment is made)
of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of subsection 2.3. The provisions of this subsection 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 
 2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no
Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor
on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such
Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Borrower Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) guaranteed by such Guarantor and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any
Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine. 
 2.4 Amendments,
etc. with Respect to the Obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent
by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or 

  
 -14-









 
any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations,
or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, waived,
modified, accelerated, compromised, subordinated, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, waived, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or the applicable Lenders(s), as the case may be)
may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations may be
sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any
of the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.

each of the Borrower Obligations, and any obligation contained therein, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this

nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses (other than any suit for breach of a contractual
provision of any of the Loan Documents) that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations
or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower against the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) any change in the time,

application of Security Collateral to any of the Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for
Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any
suspension

any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which
has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this
Agreement), or (h) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full in cash of the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by it hereunder) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) that constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand
hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise
pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder or any right of offset
with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or
any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or
any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
 2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby
guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars (or, in the case of any amount required to be paid in any other currency pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement or
other agreement relating to the respective Obligations, such other currency), at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement or such other address as may be designated in writing by the Administrative

Obligations (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), be subject and subordinate to the Liens granted to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the holders of the ABL Obligations to secure the ABL Obligations pursuant to the relevant ABL Document
(as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), (x) with respect to all Security Collateral, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Note Obligations (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as
applicable), be pari passu and equal in priority to the Liens granted to the First Lien Note Agent for the benefit of the holders of the First Lien Note Obligations (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor
Agreement, as applicable) to secure such First Lien Note Obligations pursuant to the First Lien Note Collateral Documents (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), (y) with respect

Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent and any Additional Agent may be determined solely pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreements, and not by priority as a matter of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control as among (i) the Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent, the First Lien Note Agent, the Second
Lien Note Agent and any Additional Agent, in the case of the Base Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) the Collateral Agent, the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent and any Additional Agent, in the case of the Cash Flow Intercreditor

with such Intercreditor Agreement, and shall not be in breach, violation or default of its obligations hereunder by reason of doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (x) for so long as any ABL Obligations remain outstanding, any
obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Security Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral shall be satisfied by causing such ABL Priority Collateral to be delivered to the ABL Agent to be held in accordance with the Base
Intercreditor Agreement and (y) for so long as any First Lien Note Obligations, Second Lien Note Obligations or Additional Obligations remain outstanding, any obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Security Collateral shall
be satisfied by causing such Security Collateral to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, to be held in accordance with any
applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

Collateral Agent copies or, if required by the Collateral Agent for the enforcement thereof or foreclosure thereon, originals of all documents held by such Grantor evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to such
Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, including, without limitation, all statements relating to such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral and all orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 

(d) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Collateral Account Bank to
promptly remit any funds on deposit in each Grantor’s Collateral Proceeds Account to such Grantor’s General Fund Account or any other account designated by such Grantor. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
if the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred (and subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement) the Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties agree that the Collateral Agent, at its option, may require that each Collateral Proceeds Account
and the General Fund Account of each Grantor be established at the Collateral Agent. Each Grantor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to withdraw such of its own funds from its own General Fund Account, and to maintain such
balances in its General Fund Account, as it shall deem to be necessary or desirable. 
 6.2 Communications with Obligors;
Granting Parties Remain Liable. 
 (a) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others, may at any time and
from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, if the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred (and subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement),
communicate with obligors under the Accounts Receivable and parties to the Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any
Accounts Receivable or Contracts. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default specified in subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement, if the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred (and subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), each Grantor shall notify obligors on such
Grantor’s Accounts Receivable and parties to such Grantor’s Contracts (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral) that such Accounts Receivable and such Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of such Grantor’s Accounts Receivable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the
terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. None of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or
arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations
of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance
by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 6.3 Pledged Stock. 

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant
Pledgor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to subsection 6.3(b), each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock (subject to the
last two sentences of subsection 5.3.1 of this Agreement) and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or such other action taken (other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) which, in the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable judgment, would materially impair the Pledged Stock or the related rights or remedies of the Secured Parties or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document. 
 (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give written
notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with
the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations of the relevant Pledgor
in such order as is provided in subsection 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional
Agent, or the respective nominee of any thereof, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional
Agent, or acting through its respective nominee, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any
meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock as if it were the absolute
owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any
Issuer, or upon the exercise by the relevant Pledgor or the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable
Intercreditor Agreement, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or
other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable
Intercreditor Agreement, may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral
Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing,
provided that the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any
way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in subsection 6.6 other than in accordance with subsection 6.6. 

  
 -32-









 (c) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer or maker of any Pledged
Securities pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer or maker shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted
hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent. 
 6.4
Proceeds To Be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties specified in subsection 6.1 with respect to payments of Accounts Receivable constituting Collateral, if an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Collateral Agent shall have instructed any Grantor to do so, all Proceeds of Security Collateral received by such Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other Cash Equivalent items shall be
held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereto, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), the First Lien Note Agent and the First Lien Noteholder
Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), any Additional Agent and the other applicable Additional Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the
Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), the Second Lien Note Agent and the Second Lien Noteholder Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable) or the applicable
Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent,
or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or their respective agents appointed for purposes of
perfection), in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, ABL Agent, First Lien Note Agent, or any Additional Agent, as applicable, in accordance with
the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if required). All Proceeds of Security Collateral received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its
sole dominion and control. All Proceeds of Security Collateral while held by the Collateral Agent in such Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the relevant Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be
held as collateral security for all the Obligations of such Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 6.5. 
 6.5 Application of Proceeds. It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the relevant Granting Party’s Collateral (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) received by the Collateral Agent (whether from the relevant Granting Party or otherwise) shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations of the relevant Granting
Party (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing in the
order of priority set forth in each applicable Intercreditor Agreement. 
 6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies 

  
 -33-









 
granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies
of a secured party under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Granting Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances, forthwith (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing, and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Security Collateral, or any part
thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Security Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of
the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at
such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Security Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in such Granting Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Granting Party further agrees, at the Collateral
Agent’s request (subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing), to assemble the Security Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select,
whether at such Granting Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Security Collateral or in any way relating to the Security Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of the relevant Granting Party then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.5 above, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such
Granting Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) such Granting Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale
of the Security Collateral, other than any such claims, damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of Security Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

6.7 Registration Rights. 
 (a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 6.6, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent it is
necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Pledgor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the
reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration
statement relating thereto to become effective 

  
 -34-









 
and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of such Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all
amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all states and the District of Columbia
that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act. 
 (b) Such Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged
Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged
to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Such Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other
terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 
 (c) Such Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of such Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other
applicable Requirements of Law. Such Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have
no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such
Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 

6.8 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Granting Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Security Collateral are insufficient to pay in full, the Loans and, to the extent then due and owing, all other Obligations of such Granting Party and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. 
 SECTION 7 THE COLLATERAL AGENT 

7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. 

(a) Each Granting Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof,
with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Granting Party and in the name of such Granting Party or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that 

  
 -35-









 
may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise
such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in accordance with and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law) and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (x) each Pledgor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such
Pledgor, without notice or assent by such Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in subsection 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Pledgor’s
Pledged Collateral, and (y) each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 

(i) subject to the terms of any documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing, in the name of such Grantor or its
own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to
any other Security Collateral of such Grantor and file any claim or take any other action or institute any proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all
such moneys due under any Account Receivable of such Grantor that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral of such Grantor whenever payable; 

(ii) in the case of any Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Collateral of such Grantor, execute and deliver any
and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to such Grantor to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Copyright, Patent, or Trademark and the
goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
 (iii) pay or
discharge taxes and Liens, other than Liens permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, levied or placed on the Security Collateral of such Grantor, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and 
 (iv) subject to the terms of any
documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing, (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Security Collateral of such Grantor to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the
Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Security Collateral of such Grantor; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with
any of the Security Collateral of such Grantor; (D) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any portion thereof
and to enforce any other right in respect of any Security Collateral of such Grantor; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor; (F) settle, compromise or adjust
any such suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses,
assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark constituting Collateral of 

  
 -36-









 
such Grantor (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral
Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Security Collateral of such Grantor as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Security Collateral of such Grantor and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such
Grantor might do. 
 (b) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by
the relevant Granting Party, shall be payable by such Granting Party to the Collateral Agent on demand. 
 (c) Each Granting
Party hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the relevant Granting
Party until this Agreement is terminated as to such Granting Party, and the security interests in the Security Collateral of such Granting Party created hereby are released. 
 7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Security Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Security Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Security
Collateral upon the request of any Granting Party or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Security Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Security Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Granting Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

7.3 Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record
financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to such Granting Party’s Security Collateral without the signature of such Granting Party in such form and in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent
reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Granting Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to use any collateral description reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent,
including the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements. The Collateral Agent agrees to notify the relevant Granting Party of any financing or continuation statement
filed by it; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such filing. 

  
 -37-









 7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Granting Party acknowledges that the rights
and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or
remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by
such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Granting Parties the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties
with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Granting Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 

7.5 Right of Inspection. Upon reasonable written advance notice to any Grantor and as often as may reasonably be desired, or at
any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all the books, correspondence and records of such Grantor, and
the Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, and to the extent reasonable take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s reasonable cost
and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent and its representatives shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance written notice to such Grantor subject to any lease
restrictions, to enter during normal business hours into and upon any premises owned, leased or operated by such Grantor where any of such Grantor’s Inventory or Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or
otherwise protecting its interests therein to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement). 

SECTION 8 NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES 
 8.1 Rights to Collateral. 
 (a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not
have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral (such term, as used in this Section 8, having the meaning assigned to it in the Credit Agreement), or to direct the
Collateral Agent to do the same, including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral, (B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting
rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release any Guarantor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any
Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, the Security Documents); (iii) vote in any
Bankruptcy Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral;
(iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with the Security Documents); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to
any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy which is provided by one or more Lenders among others (including on a priming basis under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code); (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of
the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy. 

  
 -38-









 (b) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Security Documents, agrees that in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder and under any other Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and
enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to
exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby
agree not to contest or otherwise challenge any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to
have consented to any sale or other disposition of any property, business or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith.

 (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled, subject to each
applicable Intercreditor Agreement, to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the
Collateral or supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of
the Non-Lender Secured Parties. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to be bound by and to comply with each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into
each Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf. 
 (d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement, agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Borrower Obligations and/or the Guarantor Obligations, and
may release any Guarantor from its Obligations hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties. 

8.2 Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent, as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and
lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or
other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent has appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its
obligations hereunder.

 8.3 Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured
Party waives any claim it might have against the Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such
exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the
Borrower any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act
which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. 
 8.4 Designation of Non-Lender Secured
Parties. The Borrower may from time to time designate a Person as a “Bank Products Affiliate,” a “Bank Products Provider,” a “Hedging Affiliate” or a “Management Credit Provider” hereunder by written
notice to the Collateral Agent. Upon being so designated by the Borrower, such Bank Products Provider, Bank Products Affiliate, Hedging Affiliate or Management Credit Provider (as the case may be) shall be a Non-Lender Secured Party for the purposes
of this Agreement for as long as so designated by the Borrower; provided that, at the time of the Borrower’s designation of such Non-Lender Secured Party, the obligations of such Grantor under the applicable Hedging Agreement, Bank Products
Agreement or Management Guarantee (as the case may be) have not been designated as ABL Obligations; provided further that the Borrower may not terminate such designation prior to the termination of the applicable Bank Products Agreement, Hedging
Agreement or Management Guarantee (as applicable) without the consent of the relevant Non-Lender Secured Party. 
 SECTION 9
MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the Collateral Agent; provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Granting Party may be waived by
the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent and (b) if separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and any Non-Lender Secured Party (and such Non-Lender Secured Party has been designated in writing by the
Borrower to the Collateral Agent for purposes of this sentence, for so long as so designated), no such amendment, modification or waiver shall amend, modify or waive subsection 6.5 (or the definition of “Non-Lender Secured Party” or
“Secured Party” to the extent relating thereto) if such amendment, modification or waiver would directly and adversely affect such Non-Lender Secured Party without the written consent of such Non-Lender Secured Party. For the avoidance of
doubt, it is understood and agreed that any amendment, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification of or to any Intercreditor Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference herein to any
Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying this Agreement, or any term or provision hereof, or any right or obligation of any Granting Party hereunder or in respect hereof, shall not be given
such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by each affected Granting Party and the Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.1. 
 9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Granting Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement; 

  
 -40-









 
provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1, unless and until
such Guarantor shall change such address by notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
 9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party
would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 

9.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent for all their respective reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting against any
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement against such Guarantor and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent. 
 (b)
Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, (x) any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any
and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Security Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement
(collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified
liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. 
 (c) The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

9.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Granting Parties, the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Granting Party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, except as permitted hereby or by the Credit Agreement. 

  
 -41-









 9.6 Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor and by the Borrower, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) of the Credit Agreement so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by such Guarantor
hereunder, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than the Collateral Proceeds Account), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party to or for the
credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may elect. The Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall
notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this subsection 9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may have. 
 9.7
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 9.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided that, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by a Foreign Subsidiary, all rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that they
do not violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any such Pledged Stock or affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement against the Pledgor (such
laws, rules or regulations, “Applicable Law”) and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the
provisions of any Applicable Law. 
 9.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 
 9.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Granting Parties, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and

to plead or claim the same; 
 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a
copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address referred to in subsection 9.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent
(in the case of any other party hereto) or the Borrower (in the case of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent) shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

referred to in this Section any punitive damages.

to which it is a party; 
 (b) none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Guarantors and the
Secured Parties.

required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to subsection 6.9(b) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Granting Party for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in
substantially the form of Annex 2 hereto. Each existing Granting Party that is required to become a Pledgor with respect to Capital Stock of any new Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to subsection 6.9(b) and 6.9(c) of the Credit Agreement
shall become a Pledgor with respect thereto upon execution and delivery by such Granting Party of a Supplemental Agreement in substantially the form of Annex 3 hereto. 
 9.16 Releases. 
 (a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations
(other than any Obligations owing to a Non-Lender Secured Party) then due and owing shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated, all Security Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created hereby, and this
Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Granting Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party,
and all rights to the Security Collateral shall revert to the Granting Parties. At the request and sole expense of any Granting Party following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Granting Party any Security Collateral
held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Granting Party such releases and other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements), and do or
cause to be done all other acts, as such Granting Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
 (b) In
connection with any sale or other disposition of Security Collateral permitted by the Credit Agreement (other than any sale or disposition to another Grantor), the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such sold or disposed of Security Collateral shall
be automatically released. In connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) or the sale or other disposition of Security Collateral (other than a
sale or disposition to another Grantor) permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt from the Borrower of a written request for the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee or the release of the Security
Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying such Guarantor or the relevant Security Collateral and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection
therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, deliver to the Borrower or the relevant Granting Party any of the relevant Security
Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the relevant Granting Party (at the sole cost and expense of such Granting Party) all releases or other documents
(including without limitation UCC termination statements), and do or cause to be done all other acts, necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Guarantee or the Liens created hereby on such Security Collateral, as applicable, as such
Granting Party may reasonably request.

accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on all Security Collateral of such Granting Party (if any) shall be automatically released, and the Guarantee (if any) of such Granting Party, and all
obligations of such Granting Party hereunder, shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to such Granting Party any
Security Collateral of such Granting Party held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver 

  
 -44-

all other acts, necessary or reasonably desirable for the release of such Granting Party from its Guarantee (if any) or the Liens created hereby (if any) on such Granting Party’s Security Collateral, as applicable, as such Granting Party may
reasonably request. 
 (d) Upon the designation of any Issuer that is a Subsidiary of any Granting Party as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Lien pursuant to this Agreement on all Pledged Stock issued by such Issuer shall be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by
any party and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to such Granting Party any such Pledged Stock held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver
to the relevant Granting Party (at the sole cost and expense of such Granting Party) all releases or other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements), and do or cause to be done all other acts, necessary or reasonably
desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Pledged Stock, as applicable, as such Granting Party may reasonably request. 
 (e) In addition, the Lien pursuant to this agreement shall be released on Collateral as provided in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement. At the request and sole
expense of any Granting Party following any such release, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Granting Party any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall execute and
deliver to such Granting Party such releases and other documents (including without limitation UCC termination statements), and do or cause to be done all other acts, as such Granting Party shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

 9.17 Judgment. 
 (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they
may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Collateral Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which
final judgment is given. 
 (b) The obligations of any Guarantor in respect of this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of each holder of Secured Obligations, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such holder is denominated (the “original
currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such holder in the original currency, such Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of such holder, against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Agent agrees to remit to the Borrower, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

9.18 Transfer Tax Acknowledgment. Each party hereto acknowledges that the shares delivered hereunder are being transferred to and
deposited with the Collateral Agent (or other Person in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement) as collateral security for the Obligations and that this Section 9.18 is intended to be the certificate of exemption from New York
stock transfer taxes for the purposes of complying with Section 270.5(b) of the Tax Law of the State of New York.

4.1.4 Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with
any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, of the certificates evidencing the Pledged Stock held by the Pledgor together with executed undated stock powers or other instruments of transfer, the security interest created in the Pledged Stock
constituting certificated securities by this Agreement, assuming the continuing possession of the Pledged Stock by the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor
Agreement, will constitute a valid, perfected first priority (subject, in terms of priority only, to the priority of the Liens of the applicable Collateral Representative) security interest in the Pledged Stock to the extent provided in and governed
by the Code, in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens (and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), enforceable in accordance with its terms against all creditors of the Pledgor and any Persons purporting to purchase the Pledged
Stock from the Pledgor, except as enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 

SECTION 5 COVENANTS 
 5.1 Covenants of the Pledgor. The Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the date upon which the

Agreement, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Stock upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower (except any liquidation or dissolution permitted
by the Credit Agreement) shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, to be held by the Collateral Agent or the applicable
Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, subject to the terms hereof as additional collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in
respect of the Pledged Stock or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Stock pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Borrower or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property
so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable
Intercreditor Agreement, to be held by the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, subject to the terms hereof as additional collateral security for the
Obligations, in each case except as otherwise provided by any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Stock shall be received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, until such
money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. The Pledgor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in this subsection 5.1.1 with
respect to the Pledged Stock. 
 5.1.2 [Reserved]

in the Pledged Stock as a security interest having at least the perfection and priority described in subsection 4.1.4, and shall defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to
time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent and at the sole expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may

applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, of any right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and
deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in
accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, may reasonably determine), all without liability (other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) except to account for property actually received by it, but the
Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, shall have no duty to the Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, provided that
the Collateral Agent or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, shall not exercise any voting or other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Stock in any way that would constitute an exercise of the remedies described in
subsection 6.4 other than in accordance with subsection 6.4. 
 (c) The Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs the Borrower
hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default 

  
 -9-









 
has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from the Pledgor, and the Pledgor agrees that
the Borrower shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Stock directly to the Collateral Agent. 

6.2 Proceeds To Be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and the Collateral
Agent shall have instructed the Pledgor to do so, all Proceeds of the Pledged Stock received by the Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other Cash Equivalent items shall be held by the Pledgor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties hereto, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), any Additional Agent and the other applicable Additional Secured Parties (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement or the
Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by the Pledgor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or their respective agents appointed for
purposes of perfection), in the exact form received by the Pledgor (duly indorsed by the Pledgor to the Collateral Agent, or the applicable Collateral Representative, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any applicable Intercreditor
Agreement, if required). All Proceeds of the Pledged Stock received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral Proceeds Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds of
the Pledged Stock while held by the Collateral Agent in such Collateral Proceeds Account (or by the Pledgor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and
shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in subsection 6.3. 
 6.3 Application of Proceeds. It is
agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all Proceeds of the Pledgor’s Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) received by the Collateral Agent (whether from the Pledgor or otherwise) shall be held by
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and/or then or at any time thereafter may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, be applied by the
Collateral Agent against the Obligations then due and owing in the order of priority set forth in each applicable Intercreditor Agreement. 
 6.4 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, forthwith (subject to the terms of any
documentation governing any Special Purpose Financing and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Stock, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to any existing
reserved rights or licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Stock or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private
sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any other 

  
 -10-









 
Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Stock so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption
in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this subsection 6.4, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of the Pledged Stock or in any way relating to the Pledged Stock or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations then due and owing, in the order of priority specified in subsection 6.3 above, and only after such application and after the payment by the
Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Code, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, (i) the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Pledged Stock, other than any such claims,
damages and demands that may arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, and (ii) if any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of the Pledged Stock shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

6.5 Registration Rights. 
 (a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to subsection 6.4, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent it is
necessary or reasonably advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the Pledgor will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Borrower to (i) execute and
deliver, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the directors and officers of the Borrower to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the
Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to
become effective and to remain effective for a period of not more than one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related
prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto. The Pledgor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Borrower to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all states and the District of Columbia that the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. 

(b) The Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other


  
 -11-









 
terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, to the extent permitted by applicable law, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to delay a sale of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under
the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so. 
 (c) The Pledgor
agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this subsection 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance
with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this subsection 6.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this subsection 6.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 7 THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
 7.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. 
 (a) The
Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonably
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that the Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise such power except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, and in accordance with and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in each case to the extent permitted by
applicable law) and subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (x) the Pledgor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice or assent by the Pledgor, to execute, in connection with any
sale provided for in subsection 6.4 or 6.5, any indorsements, assessments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Pledged Stock. 
 (b) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this subsection 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate
per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due ABR Loans, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the Pledgor, shall be payable by the Pledgor to the Collateral Agent on demand. 

(c) The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations
and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable as to the Pledgor until this Agreement is terminated as to the Pledgor, and the security interests in the Pledged Stock of the Pledgor created hereby are
released. 

  
 -12-









 7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to
the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Stock in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own
account. None of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Stock or for any delay in doing so
or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Stock upon the request of the Pledgor or any other Person or, except as otherwise provided herein, to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Stock or
any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Pledged Stock and shall not impose any duty
upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and
neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein or for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 7.3 Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, the Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or
record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Pledged Stock without the signature of the Pledgor in such form and in such filing offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use any collateral description reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent that describes with particularity
the Pledged Stock in any such financing statements. The Collateral Agent agrees to notify the Pledgor of any financing or continuation statement filed by it; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity or
effectiveness of any such filing. 
 7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. The Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement or any amendment, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such
other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and
valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Pledgor shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 SECTION 8 NON-LENDER SECURED PARTIES 
 8.1 Rights to Pledged Stock.

 (a) The Non-Lender Secured Parties shall not have any right whatsoever to do any of the following: (i) exercise any
rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral, or to direct the Collateral Agent to do the same, including, without limitation, the right to (A) enforce any Liens or sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral,
(B) request any action, institute any proceedings, exercise any voting rights, give any instructions, make any election, notify account debtors or make collections with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral or (C) release the
Pledgor under this Agreement or release any Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document or consent to or otherwise approve any such 

  
 -13-









 
release; (ii) demand, accept or obtain any Lien on any Collateral (except for Liens arising under, and subject to the terms of, the Security Documents); (iii) vote in any Bankruptcy
Case or similar proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proceeding, for purposes of this clause (a), a “Bankruptcy”) with respect to, or take any other actions concerning the Collateral;
(iv) receive any proceeds from any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral (except in accordance with the Security Documents); (v) oppose any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral; (vi) object to
any debtor-in-possession financing in any Bankruptcy which is provided by one or more Lenders among others (including on a priming basis under Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code); (vii) object to the use of cash collateral in respect of
the Collateral in any Bankruptcy; or (viii) seek, or object to the Lenders seeking on an equal basis, any adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Collateral in any Bankruptcy. 

(b) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, agrees that in
exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, with the consent of the Collateral Agent, may enforce the provisions of the Security Documents and exercise remedies thereunder and under any other
Loan Documents (or refrain from enforcing rights and exercising remedies), all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation,
the rights to collect, sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such collection, sale, disposition or other realization and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a
secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction. The Non-Lender Secured Parties by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents hereby agree not to contest or otherwise challenge
any such collection, sale, disposition or other realization of or upon all or any of the Collateral. Whether or not a Bankruptcy Case has been commenced, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or other
disposition of any property, business or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the release of any or all of the Collateral from the Liens of any Security Document in connection therewith. 

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 8.1, the Non-Lender Secured Parties shall be entitled, subject to each applicable
Intercreditor Agreement, to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (A) in order to prevent any Person from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or
supersede the Non-Lender Secured Parties’ claim thereto or (B) in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Non-Lender
Secured Parties. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to be bound by and to comply with each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into each
Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf. 
 (d) Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement, agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may deal with the Collateral, including any exchange, taking or release of Collateral, may change or increase the amount of the Obligations, and may release the Pledgor from its obligations
hereunder, all without any liability or obligation (except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein) to the Non-Lender Secured Parties. 
 8.2 Appointment of Agent. Each Non-Lender Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, shall be deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and
appoint the Collateral Agent, as agent under the Credit Agreement (and all officers, 

  
 -14-









 
employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with
power of substitution for the Non-Lender Secured Parties and in each such Person’s name or otherwise, to effectuate any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral
Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Non-Lender Secured Parties for the purposes set forth herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent has appointed the Administrative Agent
as its agent for purposes of perfecting certain of the security interests created hereunder and for otherwise carrying out certain of its obligations hereunder. 
 8.3 Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Non-Lender Secured Party waives any claim it might have against the Collateral Agent or the Lenders with respect to, or arising
out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any
exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such exercise described in subsection 8.1(b) above), except for any such action or failure to act which
constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. None of the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any Non-Lender Secured Party or any other Person or to take any
other action or forbear from doing so whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except for any such action or failure to act which constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Person. 

8.4 Designation of Non-Lender Secured Parties. The Borrower may from time to time designate a Person as a “Bank Products
Affiliate,” a “Bank Products Provider,” a “Hedging Affiliate” or a “Management Credit Provider” under subsection 8.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by written notice to the Collateral Agent. Upon being
so designated by the Borrower, such Bank Products Provider, Bank Products Affiliate, Hedging Affiliate or Management Credit Provider (as the case may be) shall be a Non-Lender Secured Party for the purposes of this Agreement for as long as so
designated by the Borrower; provided that, at the time of the Borrower’s designation of such Non-Lender Secured Party, the obligations of the Pledgor under the applicable Hedging Agreement, Bank Products Agreement or Management Guarantee (as
the case may be) have not been designated as ABL Obligations. 
 SECTION 9 MISCELLANEOUS 

9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except by a written instrument executed by the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent; provided that (a) any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on the Pledgor may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument
executed by the Collateral Agent and (b) if separately agreed in writing between the Borrower and any Non-Lender Secured Party (and such Non-Lender Secured Party has been designated in writing by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent for
purposes of this sentence, for so long as so designated), no such amendment, modification or waiver shall amend, modify or waive subsection 6.3 (or the definition of “Non-Lender Secured Party” or “Secured Party” to the extent
relating thereto) if such amendment, modification or waiver would directly and adversely affect such Non-Lender Secured Party without the written consent of such Non-Lender Secured Party. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that
any amendment, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification of or to any Intercreditor Agreement that 

  
 -15-









 
would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference herein to any Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying this Agreement,
or any term or provision hereof, or any right or obligation of the Pledgor hereunder or in respect hereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with
this subsection 9.1. 
 9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or the Pledgor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Pledgor shall be addressed to the Pledgor at its notice address set forth on
Schedule 1, unless and until the Pledgor shall change such address by notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent given in accordance with subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. 

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to subsection 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies provided by law. 
 9.4 Indemnification. 

(a) The Pledgor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from,
(x) any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to the Pledged Stock or in connection with
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to subsection 10.5 of the
Credit Agreement, and in any event excluding any taxes or other indemnified liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. 

(b) The agreements in this subsection 9.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Pledgor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except as permitted hereby or by the Credit Agreement.

 9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 
 9.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR
PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address referred to in subsection 9.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent and
the Administrative Agent (in the case of any other party hereto) or the Borrower (in the case of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent) shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

that tract or parcel of land and other real property interests in                      County,
                    , as more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with any greater or
additional estate therein as hereafter may be acquired by Mortgagor (the “Land”), and all of the Mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to rights appurtenant thereto, including easement rights; 

(b) All buildings and improvements of every kind and description now or hereafter situated, erected or placed on the Land

“Fixtures”) (hereinafter, the Land, the Improvements and the Fixtures may be collectively referred to as the “Premises.” As used in the Mortgage, the term “Premises” shall mean all or, where the context permits or
requires, any portion of the above or any interest therein.); and 
 (c) Subject to the terms of any applicable
Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), any and all cash proceeds and noncash proceeds from the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any of the Premises or any portion thereof into cash or liquidated
claims, including (i) proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty, guaranty or claim payable to the Mortgagee or to the Mortgagor from time to time with respect to any of the Premises, (ii) payments (in any form whatsoever) made or due

continuing. 
 As additional collateral and further security for the Obligations, subject to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, the Mortgagor does hereby assign to the Mortgagee and grants to the Mortgagee a security interest in all of the right, title and the interest of the Mortgagor in and to any and all real property leases and rental agreements (collectively,

by applicable law, and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements: (a) enter the Premises and take exclusive possession thereof; (b) invoke any legal remedies to dispossess the Mortgagor if the Mortgagor remains in possession of
the Premises without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent; (c) hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Premises upon such terms and conditions as the Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such
repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as the Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all rents and other amounts 

  
 6 








 
collected by the Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions hereof; (d) institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of the Mortgage, either by judicial action
or by power of sale, in which case the Premises may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels; and (e) exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Credit Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity. At
any foreclosure sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale
shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee or any of the Secured Parties may
be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, Mortgagee shall credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Mortgage is
foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Premises is waived to the extent permitted by applicable law. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC to the extent applicable, the Mortgagor agrees that ten
(10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. 
 5.2 Appointment of Receiver. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, without additional notice and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations
secured hereby, whether the same shall then be occupied as a homestead or not, or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to make application for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Premises, and to
collect the rents, issues, profits, and income thereof, all expenses of which shall be added to the Obligations and secured hereby. The receiver shall have all the rights and powers provided for under the laws of the state in which the Premises are
located, including without limitation, the power to execute leases, and the power to collect the rents, sales proceeds, issues, profits and proceeds of the Premises during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, as well as during any further times
when the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, sales proceeds, issues, proceeds and profits, and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such
cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. Receiver’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the appointment of a receiver
pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be secured by this Mortgage. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, trustee or other custodian, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain possession and
control of any cash or other instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Mortgage to the Mortgagee to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 5.3 Waivers. No waiver of a prior Event of Default shall operate to waive any subsequent Event(s) of Default. All remedies provided in this Mortgage, the Notes, the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and may, at the election of the Mortgagee, be exercised alternatively, successively, or in any manner and are in addition to any other rights provided by law. 

5.4 Delivery of Possession After Foreclosure. In the event there is a foreclosure sale hereunder and at the time of such sale, the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s successors or assigns are occupying or using the Premises, or any part thereof, each and all immediately shall become the tenant of the purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day,
terminable at the will of either landlord or tenant, at a reasonable rental per day based upon the value of the property occupied, such rental to be due daily to the purchaser; and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at such
sale, notwithstanding any language herein apparently to the contrary, shall have the sole option to demand possession immediately following the sale or to permit the occupants to remain as tenants at will.


  
 7 








 
In the event the tenant fails to surrender possession of said property upon demand, the purchaser shall be entitled to institute and maintain a summary action for possession of the property (such
as an action for forcible detainer) in any court having jurisdiction. 
 5.5 Marshalling. The Mortgagor hereby waives, in
the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or the enforcement by the Mortgagee of any other rights and remedies hereunder, any right otherwise available in respect to marshalling of assets which secure any Loan and any other indebtedness secured
hereby or to require the Mortgagee to pursue its remedies against any other such assets. 
 5.6 Protection of Premises.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Mortgagee may take such actions, including, but not limited to disbursements of such sums, as the Mortgagee in its sole but reasonable discretion deems necessary to protect
the Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises.

the Liens granted to the Mortgagee, the ABL Agent, the First Lien Note Agent, the Second Lien Note Agent, and any Additional Agent (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) shall be determined solely pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor
