Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature that are used in calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets (or
any component definitions of any of the foregoing) shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP, as in effect on the Effective Date unless otherwise agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that, if
the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Parent Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or the application thereof on the operation of
such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP
or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP (or the application thereof) as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn
or such provision amended in accordance herewith. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Capital Lease Obligations shall be excluded from (i) the
calculation of Interest Charges, (ii) for the purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, Secured Leverage Ratio and Total Indebtedness, (iii) for the purposes of Section 6.01, Indebtedness and
(iv) Section 6.04(o) (to the extent recharacterized as a Capital Lease Obligation after such lease is entered into), in each case, to the extent such Capital Lease Obligations would have been characterized as operating leases based on GAAP
as of the Effective Date and (b) for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be determined
without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting
Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Parent Borrower or any subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible
debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as
described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof). 
 In calculating the Total Leverage
Ratio and/or the Secured Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the permissibility of any incurrence of Indebtedness hereunder, including, without limitation, under clause (ii) of the definition of “Incremental Amount”, the amount
of any Indebtedness incurred in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a Total Leverage Ratio and/or Secured Leverage Ratio test substantially concurrently with any Indebtedness incurred in reliance on a
provision 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 34 








 
of this Agreement that requires compliance with a Total Leverage Ratio and/or Secured Leverage Ratio test shall be disregarded in the calculation of Total Indebtedness for purposes of such Total
Leverage Ratio and/or Secured Leverage Ratio test. 
 If the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it is required to report under IFRS or
has elected to do so through an early adoption policy, upon the execution of an amendment hereof in accordance therewith to accommodate such change, “GAAP” shall mean international financial reporting standards pursuant to IFRS
(provided that after such conversion, the Parent Borrower cannot elect to report under GAAP), it being understood and agreed that all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS. 

Section 1.05. Business Days; Payments. If any payment or performance under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment or performance shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. 

Section 1.06. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. Unless expressly provided otherwise, any amounts specified in this Agreement
shall be in dollars. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating
the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between Canadian Dollars
and dollars until the next Revaluation Date to occur. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Foreign
Currency Letter of Credit or Borrowing not denominated in dollars in accordance with the terms set forth herein, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Borrower in any document delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit as of (a) a date on or about
the date on which the applicable Issuing Bank receives a request from the applicable Borrower for the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (b) each subsequent date on which such Letter of Credit shall be renewed or extended or the stated amount
of such Letter of Credit shall be increased, (c) March 31 and September 30 in each year and (d) during the continuance of an Event of Default, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case using the Spot Rate
in effect on the date of determination, and each such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such Letter of Credit until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.06(c). 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing not denominated in dollars as of (a) a date on or
about the date on which the Administrative Agent receives a Borrowing Request in respect of such Borrowing using the Spot Rate in effect on the date of determination, (b) as of the date of the commencement of each Interest Period after the
initial Interest Period therefor and (c) during the continuance of an Event of Default, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, using the Spot Rate in effect (x) in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, on the date
that is three Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Interest Period shall commence, and (y) in the case of clause (c) above, on the date of determination, and each such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such
Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 1.06(d). 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 35 








 (e) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Lenders and the applicable Issuing
Bank of each such determination (such date, a “Revaluation Date”) and revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of each Letter of Credit and Borrowing. 

(f) The Administrative Agent may set up appropriate rounding-off mechanisms or otherwise round off amounts pursuant to this
Section 1.06 to the nearest higher or lower amount in whole dollars or cents to ensure amounts owing by any party hereunder or that otherwise need to be calculated or converted hereunder are expressed in whole dollars or in whole cents,
as may be necessary or appropriate. 
 (g) Unless otherwise provided, Dollar Equivalent amounts set forth in Articles II or VIII may be
exceeded by a percentage amount equal to 5% of such amount; provided, that such excess is solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such determinations were made and, in any such cases, the
applicable limits set forth in Articles II or VIII, as applicable, will not be deemed to have exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a prepayment be required under
Section 2.11(b) if the Dollar Equivalent of the relevant amounts set forth therein does not exceed 5% of such relevant amounts solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. 

For purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI (other than the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio
for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article VIII with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, debt prepayment, Investment, Disposition, sale and lease-back transaction, affiliate transaction or other
transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement (any of the foregoing, a “subject transaction”), in a currency other than dollars, (i) the Dollar Equivalent of a subject
transaction in a currency other than dollars shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear
on any Bloomberg Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time)
on the date of such subject transaction (which, in the case of any Restricted Payment, shall be deemed to be the date of the declaration thereof and, in the case of the incurrence of Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be on the date first committed);
provided, that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement 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 or replacement, such dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so
long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except
by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus other reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in connection with
such refinancing or replacement and (y) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a
change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after the time of any subject transaction so long as such subject transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared as set forth in clause (i). For
purposes of Article VII and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than dollars shall be translated
into dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant four fiscal quarter period and will, with respect to any
Indebtedness, reflect the currency 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 36 








 
translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Swap Agreement permitted hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the
date of determination for the Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness. 
 Section 1.07. Cashless Rollovers.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Loans,
or Loans in connection with any Specified Refinancing Debt or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such
Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in
cash” or any other similar requirement. 
 ARTICLE II.

either the USD Only Revolving Facility and the USD/CAD Revolving Facility) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender
of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Eurodollar Borrowings and CDOR Rate Loans. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, as applicable, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or $C1,000,000 and not less than $C2,500,000, as applicable. At the
time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is
equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1.00 and not less than $100,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 15 Eurodollar Borrowings and a total of
10 CDOR Rate Borrowings outstanding at any time. 
 (d) Limitation on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing as a Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date or

Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04. Swingline Loans. 

(a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Parent
Borrower in dollars, and to the Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars, from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments, (iii) the USD Only Revolving Exposures
exceeding the USD Only Revolving Commitment, (iv) the USD/CAD Revolving Exposures exceeding the USD/CAD Revolving Commitment and (v) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeding the Canadian Revolving

purpose of consummating the Rothsay Acquisition and only to the extent the Closing Date (as defined in the Rothsay Acquisition Agreement) shall be within 3 Business Days of the satisfaction of the conditions to the occurrence such Closing Date (as
set out in the definition of Closing Date in the Rothsay Acquisition Agreement), the Parent Borrower (x) may borrow Swingline Loans on the Acquisition Closing Date in Canadian Dollars and in (1) an amount up to the amount of the CAD Term
Commitment on the Acquisition Closing Date plus (2) an additional amount the Dollar Equivalent of which does not exceed $125,000,000 and (y) to the extent it exercises such right, shall submit to the Administrative Agent, substantially
simultaneously with the submission of any notice of borrowing for such Swingline Loans, a notice of borrowing for CAD Term Loans in an aggregate amount not less than the amount of such Swingline Loans to be borrowed on the Acquisition Closing Date
(and if such amount of CAD Term Loans is less than the amount of such Swingline Loans, an additional notice of borrowing for Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars), which such notice or notices shall not be revocable unless such Swingline
Loans are not borrowed on the Acquisition Closing Date; the proceeds of any such Loans made on the Acquisition Closing Date shall be applied by the Borrowers first, to repay the principal of such Swingline Loan and any interest owing thereunder to
the Swingline Lender, with any amounts in excess thereof to be retained by the Canadian Borrower. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the relevant Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline
Loans. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedure. To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 39 








 
irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan; provided that any notice requesting a Swingline Loan in
Canadian Dollars shall be accompanied by a borrowing notice for a Borrowing 3 Business Days hence for a like amount of CAD Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03 (it being understood such notice for CAD Revolving Loans may be delivered
not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time instead of 11:00 a.m. Local Time), which notice shall only be revocable if such Swingline Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars is not made; the proceeds of any such CAD Revolving Loans made shall be applied by the
Borrowers first, to repay the principal of such Swingline Loan and any interest owing thereunder to the Swingline Lender, with any amounts in excess thereof to be retained by the Canadian Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the
Swingline Lender of any such notice received from such Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the applicable Borrower with the
Swingline Lender or by wire transfer, automated clearinghouse debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable request (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) Revolving Lender Participation in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not
later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the dollar denominated Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that such dollar
denominated Swingline Loans shall be participated in (and paid) under the combined Revolving Facility (versus under either the USD only Revolving Facility and the USD/CAD Revolving Facility) in accordance with the lenders’ respective Revolving
Commitments. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of dollar denominated Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each applicable
Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans in dollars. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each
such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower in writing of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in
respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in respect of a
Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline
Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower (or such other Person) for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this
paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

denominated in dollars or Canadian Dollars for its own account (or the account of any of its Subsidiaries) and the Canadian Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars for its own account (or the account of
any of its Subsidiaries), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension;
Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for
doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section 2.05), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit (but any default or breach under such
application and not hereunder shall not give rise to a Default or Event of Default hereunder). A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000, (ii) the Dollar
Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (iii) the USD Only Revolving Exposures exceeding the USD Only Revolving Commitment, (iv) the USD/CAD Revolving Exposures exceeding the USD/CAD
Revolving Commitment and (v) to the extent a Letter of Credit has been requested to be issued, amended, renewed or extended in Canadian Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Canadian
Revolving Sublimit. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of
(i) unless consented to by the Issuing Bank, the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) (provided that any Letter of
Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods not to extend past the date in clause (ii) below unless the applicable Borrower shall have made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
the applicable Issuing Bank) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date unless the applicable Borrower shall have made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to
cash collateralizing or backstopping such Letter of Credit. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the
Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 41 








 
Applicable Percentage (or in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the USD/CAD Applicable Percentage) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay (in dollars, which in the case of a Letter of Credit not denominated in dollars shall be determined based on the
Dollar Equivalent, using the applicable Spot Rate in effect on the date such payment is required), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (or in the case of a Letter of Credit
denominated in Canadian Dollars, the USD/CAD Applicable Percentage) of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, take such
actions as it deems advisable to allocate Letters of Credit and participations therein between any revolving facilities outstanding hereunder; it being understood that, subject to the preceding, dollar denominated Letters of Credit shall be
allocated (and participated in and paid) under the combined Revolving Facility (versus under either the USD Only Revolving Facility and the USD/CAD Revolving Facility) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency of such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., Local Time, on the first Business Day after such LC Disbursement is
made if the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the applicable Borrower prior to such time on such date such notice shall
be deemed received on the next day and then not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower is deemed to have received such notice; provided that the applicable Borrower
may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, as applicable, or Swingline Loan in an
equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, as applicable, or, if applicable,
Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (A) if such payment relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to
reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Spot Rate on the date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in
the case of each LC Disbursement the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (or in
the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the USD/CAD Applicable Percentage) thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in dollars its Applicable Percentage
(or in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the USD/CAD Applicable Percentage) of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the
Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 42 








 
pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of
ABR Revolving Loans, CDOR Rate Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement in accordance with this
Section 2.05(e). 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent
or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank or its Related Parties from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as
opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the applicable Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct or failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of, or material breach of the terms of the Loan Documents by, the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email) of such demand for
payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing
Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any
LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 43 








 
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of LC Disbursements made in dollars, and at all times following the conversion to dollars of an LC Disbursement made in Canadian Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate per
annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of LC Disbursements made in Canadian Dollars, and at all times prior to their conversion to dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) above, at the rate applicable to CDOR Rate
Loans with an Interest Period of one month’s duration determined on the date such LC Disbursement is made; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13 (c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

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

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the applicable Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in dollars or, if applicable, Canadian Dollars, equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to
deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.01. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the relevant Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the relevant Borrowers for the LC Exposure at
such time, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the relevant Borrowers
under this Agreement. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable
Borrower within three Business Days following a request to do so after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 44 








 (k) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date
pursuant to Section 8.01, all amounts (i) that a Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of
Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited Cash Collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such Cash Collateral was deposited in the applicable Foreign Currency to the extent so deposited or applied),
(ii) that the Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section 2.05 in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Lender’s participation in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC
Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Spot Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the
date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph
(k) shall accrue and be payable in dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder. 
 Section 2.06. Funding of
Borrowings. 
 (a) By Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative
Agent or by wire transfer, automated clearing house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans, CDOR Rate
Loans or Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Fundings Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, or if applicable for Borrowings
denominated in Canadian Dollars, a rate determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 45 








 Section 2.07. Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuation. Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a
different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The applicable Borrower may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be
considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b)
Delivery of Interest Election Request. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the applicable Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall
be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by telecopy or email to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower. 

(c) Contents of Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar
Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice to the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Automatic Conversion. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar
Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing prior to the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing or a CDOR Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration, respectively. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 46 








 (f) Limitations on Election. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower in writing, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing
denominated in dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) each
Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars will, at the expiration of the then current Interest Period each such Borrowing, be automatically continued as a Borrowing of CDOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month. 

Section 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Termination Date. Unless previously terminated, (i) the USD Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois
time, on the Expiration Date, (ii) the CAD Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the Expiration Date and (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. 

(b) Optional Termination or Reduction. The Parent Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of
any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the relevant Commitments) and
(ii) the Parent Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (i) any Lender’s Revolving
Exposure exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitment of all Lenders or (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Canadian Revolving
Exposure exceeds the Canadian Revolving Sublimit, in each case, calculated based on the Dollar Equivalent amount as of such date of termination or reduction. 

(c) Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the consummation of an acquisition or disposition or the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall
be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. 

Section 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount
of each Term Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 47 








 
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the day that is 10 Business Days after such Swingline Loan
is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 

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

(c) Administrative Agent Records. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each
Loan made hereunder, the currency, Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders by each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between such
accounts of the Administrative Agent and any Lender’s records, the Administrative Agent’s accounts shall govern. 
 (e) Request
for a Note. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note; provided that any such promissory notes to be issued on the Effective Date shall be requested by the relevant Lender at least 5
Business Days prior to the Effective Date. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented
by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns); provided that in the event of any assignment of Loans
evidenced by a promissory note, the applicable Borrower shall not be obligated to execute and deliver a promissory note, to the assignee of such Loans unless and until the assignor Lender has returned its promissory note, to the relevant Borrower or
the relevant Borrower has received a lost note affidavit and indemnity from the assigning Lender in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the relevant Borrower. 

Section 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans. Each Borrower shall repay the Term Borrowings made by it in the applicable currency of
such Term Borrowings in quarterly principal installments as follows: 
 (a) for the first eight (8) quarterly installments, in the
amount of 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans made on the Acquisition Closing Date, each, due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December, of each year commencing on the last day of such
month falling on or after the last day of the first full fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower following the Acquisition Closing Date and continuing until the last day of the eighth
(8th) such quarterly period following the Acquisition Closing Date; 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 48 








 (b) for the ninth (9th) through
sixteenth (16th) quarterly installments, in the amount of 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans made on the Acquisition Closing Date, each, due and payable on
the last day of each March, June, September and December, of each year commencing on the last day of such month falling after the last quarterly payment made pursuant to clause (a) above and continuing until the last day of the sixteenth (16th) such quarterly period following the Acquisition Closing Date; 
 (c) for each
quarterly installment after such 16th installment referred to in clause (b) above, in the amount of 3.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans made on the Acquisition
Closing Date, each, due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December, of each year commencing on the last day of such month falling after the last quarterly payment made pursuant to clause (b) above and continuing
until the last day of such quarterly period ending immediately prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date; and 
 (d) one final installment in the
amount of the relevant Term Loans then outstanding, due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date; 
 Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings, the
Parent Borrower shall select the Class and Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the
scheduled date of such repayment; provided that to the extent the Parent Borrower does not specify in such notice the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid the Administrative Agent shall first apply such amounts to ABR Loans and/or CDOR Rate
Loans, as applicable, and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the cost to the Parent Borrower of such repayment under Section 2.16. Each repayment of a Class and Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the repaid Class and Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing within
a Class in whole or in part without prepayment penalty or premium, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.11 and Section 2.16. 

(b) Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Loans. In the event and on such occasion that (i) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure
exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitment of all Lenders or (iii) the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure exceeds the Canadian
Revolving Sublimit, in each case calculated based on the Dollar Equivalent amount as of the applicable date of determination, the applicable Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings in an aggregate amount to eliminate such
excess. 
 Upon the incurrence by Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Specified Refinancing Debt constituting revolving
credit facilities, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.


  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 49 








 (c) Mandatory Prepayments from Net Proceeds of Prepayment Event. In the event and on each
occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Parent Borrower shall, within 3 Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay or cause
to be prepaid Term Borrowings (on a ratable basis among any outstanding USD Term Loans and CAD Term Loans based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided that: 

(i) subject to the terms of clause (ii) below, in the case of any event described in clauses (a) or
(b) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, if the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net
Proceeds from such event, within 18 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire or replace assets (other than ordinary course current assets, it being understood such limitation shall not apply to the acquisition of any Person or all or
substantially all of the assets of a division or branch of such Person) or repair, improve or maintain assets to be used in the business of, or otherwise useful in the operations of, the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, including,
without limitation, to make an acquisition permitted by Section 6.04(l), to engage in an Asset Swap permitted by Section 6.04(k) or to make an Investment permitted by Section 6.04(q), (s) or
(u), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause (c) in respect of such event except to the extent of any Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied within 18 months (or in the case of a binding
commitment in respect of an application within such 18 months, 24 months) after receipt of such Net Proceeds, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; and 

(ii) Net Proceeds from a single Prepayment Event shall not be required to be used to prepay Term Borrowings under this clause
(c) if the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from such Prepayment Event do not exceed $2,500,000 unless such Net Proceeds, when added to the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from all Prepayment Events occurring in the same
fiscal year which are not reinvested pursuant to this clause (c) exceed $10,000,000 (in which event the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds from all such Prepayment Events in excess of $10,000,000, shall then be required to be used to
prepay the Term Borrowings under this clause (c)). 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c),
(i) to the extent that (and for so long as) any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) are prohibited or restricted by applicable local law from
being repatriated to the jurisdiction of organization of the Parent Borrower, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in
Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary so long as the applicable local law will not permit such repatriation to the Parent Borrower (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local
law, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result of such repatriation or potential repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.11(c) and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event to the jurisdiction of organization of the Parent Borrower
would have a material adverse Tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit that would be realized in connection with such repatriation), the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be
retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (e) Notice of Prepayment; Application of Prepayments. The applicable Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing
or CDOR Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., Local Time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), three Business Days before the date of 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 50 








 
prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., Local Time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), one Business Day before the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, a notice
of optional prepayment delivered by the applicable Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the consummation of any acquisition or disposition or the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such
notice of prepayment may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice
relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the
same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section shall be applied ratably to each Class of Loans prepaid in
connection with this Section. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. Prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied first, to the next four scheduled installments thereof in direct order
of maturity and second, pro rata based on the principal amount of each installment. 
 (f) Upon the incurrence or issuance by Parent
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Refinancing Notes, any Specified Refinancing Term Loans or any Refinancing Junior Loans, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans being
refinanced in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in a manner consistent with clause (e) above. 

Section 2.12. Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving
Commitment terminates. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of each Term Commitment of such
Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Acquisition Closing Date. Accrued commitment fees in respect of the Revolving Commitments shall be payable in arrears on the date which is three Business Days

the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). A Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving
Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 
 (b) Letter of
Credit Fees. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay: 
 (i) Participation Fee. To the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Borrowings (or CDOR Rate Borrowings in the case of


  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 51 








 
Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure; 

(ii) Standby Letter of Credit Fronting Fees. To the Issuing Bank a fronting fee with respect to standby Letters of Credit, which shall
accrue at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to standby Letters of Credit during the period from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to standby Letters of Credit; 

(iii) Commercial Letters of Credit Fronting Fees. To the Issuing Bank a fronting fee with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit,
which fee shall equal the product of 1.00% of the initial stated amount of such commercial Letter of Credit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days included in the term of such commercial Letter of Credit and whose
denominator is 360; and 
 (iv) Issuing Bank Standard Fees. The Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. 
 Participation fees and standby Letter of Credit fronting
fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that: (A) all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate; (B) any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand; and
(C) all fronting fees payable with respect to commercial Letters of Credit shall be payable on the date of the issuance thereof. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.
All participation fees and standby Letter of Credit fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) Agent Fees. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable
hereunder shall be paid in dollars on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to
the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.13. Interest. 

(a) ABR Borrowings/Canadian Prime Rate Swingline. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each applicable Swingline Loan
denominated in dollars) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Borrowings. Each Swingline Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for
Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 52 








 (b) Eurodollar Borrowings/CDOR Rate Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Borrowings. The Loans comprising each CDOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Loan Rate
for the Interest Period in effect for such CDOR Rate Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee payable by the applicable Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well
as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or
(ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (in the case of amounts owing in dollars), Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings (in the case of amounts owing in Canadian Dollars in respect of
Swingline Loans) or CDOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month’s duration determined on the date such amounts were due and then on each monthly anniversary thereof (in the case of any other such amounts owing in Canadian Dollars), in
each case, as provided in paragraph (a), or if applicable, paragraph (b), of this Section 2.13. 
 (d) Payment
of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan occurring after the Effective Date and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate is based on the Prime Rate or other applicable “prime rate”, and the CDOR Loan Rate, in each case, shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO
Rate and CDOR Loan Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(f) Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada) (R.S.C. 1985, c.I15, as amended), the
annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)) are
equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), respectively. 

Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR
Borrowing, as applicable: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 53 








 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or
CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or email as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR
Borrowing, (iii) any Interest Election Request or Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as or Borrowing of, a CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be
maintained or made, as applicable, at a rate determined in a customary manner in good faith by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. 

Section 2.15. Increased Costs. 

(a) Change In Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or 

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under
Section 2.17 and Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement, Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers (it being
understood the Canadian Borrower shall only be liable hereunder for amounts to the extent related to the Canadian Obligations) will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Adequacy. If
any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, insurance or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 54 








 
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy, insurance or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers (it being understood the Canadian Borrower shall only be liable hereunder for amounts to the
extent related to the Canadian Obligations) will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Delivery of Certificate. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be
delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Limitation on Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.16.
Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert to or from, continue as or prepay any Eurodollar Revolving Loan,
Eurodollar Term Loan or CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
reallocation of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 2.20, then, in
any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Loan Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar or Canadian Dollar deposits, as applicable, of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market or the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market, respectively. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 55 








 Section 2.17. Taxes. 

(a) Gross Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, and (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, each Borrower shall pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Tax Indemnification. Each Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section 2.17) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Receipts. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Administrative Agent Indemnity. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for
(i) the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrowers to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 56 








 (f) Forms. Each Lender other than a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower
and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Foreign Lender (including each Participant that acquired a participation from a Foreign Lender) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two properly completed and duly signed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any
applicable underlying IRS forms), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign
Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax
law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date
such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
Section that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) Refund. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Party or with respect to which the Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out–of–pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 57 








 
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (h) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (i) Terms. For purposes of this Section, the
term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs;
Proceeds of Collateral. 
 (a) Payments Generally. Unless otherwise specified herein, each Borrower shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to
the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the account designated to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender
as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to
the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments under each Loan Document of
(i) principal and interest in respect of any Loan and LC Disbursements and participation fees in respect of Letters of Credit shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or Letter of Credit, respectively, is denominated and (ii) any
other amount shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Pro Rata Application. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available
to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) Sharing
of Set-offs. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 58 








 
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law but
subject to Section 10.08, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Payments from Borrowers Assumed Made.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of
(i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or in the case of amounts not denominated in dollars, the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds) and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. 
 (e) Set-Off Against Amounts Owed Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(c) or (d) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

(f) Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Guaranty. Subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement entered into by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.10(e), all amounts received under the Guaranty Agreement and all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from the sale or other liquidation of the Collateral when an Event of Default
exists shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees of the Administrative Agent hereunder and then to all other unpaid or unreimbursed Obligations (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in accordance with
Section 10.03) owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent only and then any remaining amount of such proceeds shall be distributed: 

(i) first, to an account at the Administrative Agent over which the Administrative Agent shall have control in an amount equal to 102%
of the LC Exposure then outstanding; 
 (ii) second, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
amounts of Loan Obligations, Pari Passu Notes Obligations and Swap Obligations, until all the Loan Obligations, Pari Passu Notes Obligations and Swap Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized; 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 59 








 (iii) third, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
amounts of the Deposit Obligations, until all Deposit Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized; 
 (iv)
fourth, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of the remaining Obligations and Pari Passu Notes Obligations; and 

(v) fifth, to the Person entitled thereto as directed by the Parent Borrower or as otherwise determined by applicable law or
applicable court order. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Canadian Collateral Reallocation the guarantees provided by the Canadian Loan
Parties and the Collateral granted by the Canadian Loan Parties will only guarantee or secure, as applicable, the Canadian Obligations and the proceeds of such guarantee or Collateral shall be applied as set forth above, but only to the extent the
amounts above constitute Canadian Obligations. 
 (g) Noncash Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
the Administrative Agent shall ever acquire any Collateral through foreclosure or by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or by retaining any of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or part of the Obligations or if any proceeds of Collateral
received by the Administrative Agent to be distributed and shared pursuant to this Section 2.18 are in a form other than immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to remit any share thereof under the
terms hereof and the Secured Parties shall only be entitled to their undivided interests in the Collateral or noncash proceeds as determined by paragraph (f) of this Section 2.18. The Secured Parties shall receive the
applicable portions (in accordance with the foregoing paragraph (f)) of any immediately available funds consisting of proceeds from such Collateral or proceeds of such noncash proceeds so acquired only if and when received by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the subsequent disposition thereof. While any Collateral or other property to be shared pursuant to this Section is held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (g), the Administrative
Agent shall hold such Collateral or other property for the benefit of the Secured Parties and all matters relating to the management, operation, further disposition or any other aspect of such Collateral or other property shall be resolved by the
agreement of the Required Lenders. 
 (h) Return of Proceeds. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any amount distributed
by the Administrative Agent hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then each Person
receiving any portion of such amount agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such amount it has received to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 60 








 (b) Replacement. If (i) a Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or
(iv) a Lender shall become a Non-consenting Lender (as defined below), then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations in one or more Classes (as the Parent Borrower shall elect) under this Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Parent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignee Lender
to the extent required by Section 10.04, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such assignor Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans of the relevant Class or
Classes (and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, to the extent applicable) accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent have requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any
provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any other modification thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or other modification in question requires the agreement of all Lenders (or all directly affected Lenders) in accordance with the terms of
Section 10.02 and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Class voting, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments in respect of such Class) have agreed to such consent, waiver or other
modification, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or other modification shall be deemed a “Non-consenting Lender”. 

Section 2.20. Incremental Facilities. 

(a) The Parent Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time, on one or more occasions, request to (i) add one
or more new tranches of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans, any Incremental Term Loans or any Specified Refinancing Term Loans by requesting new term loans commitments to be added to such Loans (any such new
tranche or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) add one or more new tranches of incremental revolving
facilities and/or increase the principal amount of any such tranche of incremental revolving facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental
Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount. Such
notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be (x) with respect to Incremental Term Loans denominated in dollars, in minimum increments of
$15,000,000, and with respect to Incremental Term Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in minimum increments of $7,500,000, (y) with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments denominated in dollars, in minimum increments of $10,000,000,
and with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments denominated in Canadian Dollars, in minimum increments of $5,000,000 or (z) equal to the remaining Incremental Amount) and (ii) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such
Incremental Term Loans are requested to be made and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) pursuant to an Incremental Facility Activation Notice. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 61 








 (b) Incremental Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood each existing
Lender shall have no obligation to participate in any Incremental Facility), or by any other lender (any such other lender being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank shall have
consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Facilities if such consent would be required under Section 10.04(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional
Lender. 
 (c) The creation or provision of any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan shall not require the approval of any existing
Lender other than any existing Lender providing all or part of any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan. 
 (d) The applicable Borrower
and each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Facilities shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Facilities of such Lender or Additional Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments to be made
thereunder; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to Term Loans, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall
be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then-existing Term Loans calculated as of the date of making such Incremental Term Loan, (iii) any prepayment (other than scheduled amortization payments) of Incremental
Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with all then existing Term Loans (and all other then-existing Incremental Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans requiring ratable prepayment), except that the Borrower and the lenders in
respect of such Incremental Term Loans shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive, as applicable, any prepayments on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis), (iv) the maturity date
or commitment reduction date of any Incremental Revolving Loan shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Commitments, (vi) from the Effective Date to the date that is 18 months following the Acquisition Closing
Date, if the initial yield over the applicable base rate (such calculation for both the Incremental Facility and the applicable Credit Facility, to include the upfront fees, any interest rate floors and any OID (as defined below) but excluding any
arrangement, underwriting or similar fee paid to the Administrative Agent, the Commitment Parties under the Credit Facilities or relevant Persons under the Incremental Facility) in respect of any Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving
Commitments maturing on the maturity date of the existing applicable Credit Facility exceeds the initial yield for such existing applicable Credit Facility by more than 50 basis points (it being understood that any such increase may take the form of
original issue discount (“OID”), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), the Applicable Margin for the existing applicable
Credit Facility shall be increased so that the initial yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments is no more than 50 basis points higher than the initial yield for the existing applicable Credit Facility
and (vii) to the extent an Incremental Revolving Facility is structured as an additional revolving facility under this agreement and not as an increase to the existing Revolving Commitment hereunder, (x) no more than three revolving
facilities (including any revolving facility constituting Specified Refinancing Debt, shall be outstanding hereunder at any one time) and (y) the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it deems advisable to
allocate Letters of Credit and any participations therein between any revolving facilities. All terms and documentation with respect to Incremental Facilities which differ from those with respect to the Loans under the existing applicable Credit
Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent permitted by clauses (i) through (vii) above). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of
each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended as necessary 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 62 








 
or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this Section 2.20. Any such deemed amendment
may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) but without the consent of any other Lenders, and furnished to the other parties hereto. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan may be made and no Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective under
this Section 2.20 unless (i) on the date on which such Loan is made or of such effectiveness, (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied (it being understood that all references to “the
occasion of any Borrowing” in Section 4.03 shall be deemed to refer to the Increased Amount Date) and (B) the Parent Borrower is in compliance with the Financial Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis, and the Administrative Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Parent Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and
documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01; provided that if the proceeds of an Incremental Facility are to be used to
finance a Permitted Acquisition, to the extent agreed to by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, customary “SunGard” conditionality (including making determinations pursuant to the Permitted Acquisition Determination Method)
may be implemented in lieu of the conditions set forth in this clause (e). 
 Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) Suspension of Commitment Fees. Commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) Suspension of Voting. The Revolving Commitment, Revolving Exposure
of, and the outstanding Term Loans held by, such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of
such Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) Participation Exposure. If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) Reallocation. All or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among
the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (or in the case of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure denominated in Canadian Dollars, their USD/CAD Applicable Percentage) but only to the extent (w) the sum
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments, (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ USD Only Revolving Exposures plus the allocable portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD Only Revolving Commitments, (y) the sum
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD/CAD Revolving Exposures plus the allocable portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ USD/CAD Revolving
Commitments, (z) no Event of Default then exists; 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 63 








 (ii) Payment and Cash Collateralization. If the reallocation described in clause
(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding
or cannot be reallocated pursuant to clause (i) (it being understood that such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j)); 

(iii) Suspension of Letter of Credit Fee. If the applicable Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the
period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) Reallocation of Fees. If the LC Exposure of the
non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (or in the case of fees arising from Revolving Exposure denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Lenders’ USD/CAD Applicable Percentages); and 

(v) Issuing Bank Entitled to Fees. If any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant
to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (d) Suspension of
Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit, unless (i) it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, (ii) cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with
Section 2.21(c), and/or (iii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and 
 (e) Setoff Against Defaulting Lender.
Any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any mandatory or voluntary prepayment and any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.18(c) but excluding Section 2.19(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable
requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata,
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swingline
Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Parent Borrower, held in
such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 64 








 
Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, after termination of the Commitments to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a
Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement
obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender who
is a Revolving Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and/or USD/CAD Applicable Percentage, as applicable. 
 Notwithstanding the above, the
Borrowers’ right to replace a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, at law, in
equity or by statute. 
 Section 2.22. Specified Refinancing Debt. 

(a) The Borrowers may from time to time, add one or more new term loan facilities and new revolving credit facilities to the Credit Facilities
(“Specified Refinancing Debt”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, to refinance (i) all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding
under this Agreement and (ii) all or any portion of any Class of Revolving Loans (and the unused Revolving Commitments with respect to such Class of Revolving Loans) then in effect under this Agreement, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing
Amendment (it being agreed that in no event shall more than three Classes of revolving commitments be outstanding at any time under this Agreement); provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt: (i) will rank pari passu in right
of payment as the other Loans and Commitments hereunder; (ii) will not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party; (iii) will be (x) unsecured or (y) secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis
with the Obligations (in each case pursuant to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); (iv) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Parent Borrower and the
applicable Lenders thereof; (v) (x) to the extent constituting revolving credit facilities, will not have a maturity date (or have mandatory commitment reductions or amortization) that is prior to the Revolving Maturity Date of the
Revolving Commitment being refinanced and (y) to the extent constituting term loan facilities, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the date that is the scheduled maturity date of, and will have a weighted average life to maturity
that is not shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of, the Loans being refinanced; (vi) any Specified Refinancing Term Loans shall share ratably in any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 (or otherwise
provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for the then outstanding Classes of Term Loans other than Specified Refinancing Term Loans); (vii) each Revolving Borrowing (including any deemed Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to
Section 2.04 or 2.05) shall be allocated pro rata among the Classes of Revolving Commitments (it being agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it
deems advisable to allocate Letters of Credit and participations therein between any revolving facilities); (vii) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, will have terms and conditions (other than pricing and optional
prepayment and redemption terms) that are 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 65 








 
substantially identical to, or less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt than, the terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities and Loans
being refinanced (as reasonably determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith); and (ix) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata
prepayment of outstanding Loans being so refinanced, in each case pursuant to Section 2.08 and 2.11, as applicable; provided, however, that such Specified Refinancing Debt (x) may provide for any additional or
different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among the Parent Borrower and the lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date of any of the Loans (and Commitments) that remain
outstanding after giving effect to such Specified Refinancing Debt or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations are paid in full and (y) shall not have a principal or commitment amount (or accreted value) greater than the Loans being
refinanced (excluding accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums or expenses). 
 (b) The Parent Borrower shall make any request for
Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to a written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof. Any proposed Specified Refinancing Debt may be provided by existing Lenders or, subject to the approval
of the Administrative Agent and, with respect to revolving commitments, the Issuing Bank (in each case, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Eligible Assignees in such respective amounts as the Parent Borrower
may elect. 
 (c) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the
conditions set forth in clause (a) above and Section 4.03, and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates
and/or reaffirmation agreements, including any supplements or amendments to the Security Documents providing for such Specified Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under
Section 4.01 and, if applicable, on the Acquisition Closing Date under Section 4.02 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a Change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish any
Specified Refinancing Debt and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Specified Refinancing Debt, in
each case on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. 
 (d) Each Class of Specified
Refinancing Debt incurred under this Section 2.20 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (x) not less than $5,000,000 (or if applicable, $C5,000,000) and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or if
applicable, $C1,000,000) in excess thereof or (ii) the amount required to refinance all of the applicable Class of Loans and/or Commitments. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the making of Refinancing Revolving Loans to, the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any revolving credit facility established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms
applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Revolving Commitments. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Debt as separate facilities hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Credit
Facilities being refinanced, including for 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 66 








 
purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified
Refinancing Debt, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this
Section 2.22. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participation in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the scheduled maturity date in respect of a Class of
revolving commitments shall be reallocated from Lenders holding such revolving commitments to Lenders holding refinancing revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such
participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding refinancing revolving commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such extended revolving commitments and the terms of such participation
interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. 
 ARTICLE III. 

Representations and Warranties 

Each Borrower (other than, in respect of Sections 3.11, 3.12 and 3.14, which are made only by the Parent Borrower) party
hereto represents and warrants (it being understood that the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents on the Acquisition Closing Date shall be limited to the Specified Representations and shall otherwise be construed as though the
Transactions (to be consummated on or about such date) have been consummated) to the Lenders that:

Section 3.05. Properties. 

(a) Title. Each of such Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and
personal property material to its business, except for defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes or where the failure to have such
title or interest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the assets of such Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to any Lien except Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, service names, domain names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property necessary for its business and (ii) to the knowledge of such
Borrower, the use of any such intellectual property by such Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person and the intellectual property owned by any Loan Party is not being infringed by any other

(ii) that as of the Effective Date, involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions to be consummated on or about the Effective Date. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 68 








 (b) Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to, either
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither such Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any applicable Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit,
license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any pending or threatened claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or has

retained by contract or operation of law any obligations under Environmental Law or relating to Hazardous Materials.

Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.10. ERISA; Canadian Benefit Plans. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not
reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, the fair market value of the assets of each Pension Plan was not materially less than the present value of the accumulated benefit obligation under
such Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715: Compensation-Retirement Benefits) as of the close of the most recent Plan year, as reported in the most recent financial statements
reflecting such amounts. If all of the Pension Plans were terminated (disregarding any Pension Plans with surpluses), the unfunded liabilities with respect to the Pension Plans, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 The Canadian Loan Parties have a formal plan and commitment to establish one or more Canadian Defined Benefit Plans
for the benefit of certain unionized, hourly non-union and salaried employees in connection with the closing of the Rothsay Acquisition. Applications for registration of these plans will be made following such closing. The Canadian Loan Parties do
not, and have not ever, sponsored, administered, participated in or contributed to a Canadian Multi-Employer Plan, except as may be consented to by the Administrative Agent after the Effective Date (it being understood that at the Administrative
Agent’s option it may also request the consent of the Required Lenders in connection with such determination). Except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) all
Canadian Benefit Plans are or will be, and have been (where applicable), established, registered (where required), amended, funded, invested and administered 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 69

or claim (other than routine claims for payment of benefits) pending or, to the knowledge of the Canadian Loan Parties, threatened involving any Canadian Benefit Plan or its assets, and no facts exist which could reasonably be expected to give rise
to any such investigation or claim (other than routine claims for payment of benefits); (iii) all employer and employee payments, contributions and premiums required to be remitted, paid to or paid in respect of each Canadian Benefit Plan have
been paid or remitted in accordance with its terms and all applicable laws; (iv) any Canadian Pension Plans are or will be (within the time period permitted by applicable law) duly registered under all applicable Canadian federal or provincial
pension benefits standards legislation; (v) all material obligations of any Canadian Loan Party required to be performed in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans or the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion;

under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any provincial taxation or pension benefits statute; and (viii) no Canadian Pension Termination Event has occurred

financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent (other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature, projected financial information or other
forward looking information) in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made (it being
understood that projections may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material). 
 Section 3.12.
Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, Parent Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 3.12 hereto. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 3.12 sets forth the jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization of each such Subsidiary, the percentage of Parent Borrower’s ownership of the outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary directly owned by Parent Borrower, the percentage of each Subsidiary’s ownership of the outstanding
Equity Interests of each other Subsidiary and the authorized, issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Parent Borrower and each Subsidiary. All of the outstanding capital stock of Parent Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has been, to the
extent applicable, validly issued, is fully paid, and is nonassessable. As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, or rights (including preemptive rights) to acquire, and no outstanding securities or
instruments convertible into any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 3.13. Labor Matters. As of the
Effective Date, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.13, (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened in writing,
that would have a material impact on the operations of the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the hours worked by and payments made to

immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date and the Acquisition Closing Date, as applicable (a) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (b) the capital of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, is not
unreasonably small in relation to the business of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, contemplated as of the date hereof and (c) the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to
incur, or believe that they will incur, debts (including current obligations and contingent liabilities) beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business. For the purposes hereof, (x) the amount of any
contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective
of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5) and (y) the term “present fair saleable value” means the amount that may be realized if the applicable
company’s aggregate assets are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s length transaction under present conditions for the sale of a comparable business enterprises.

one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the
proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock in violation of Regulation X or that would entail a violation of Regulation U of the Board

reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) perfected Lien (subject to Liens permitted by
Section 6.02) on the Collateral as security for the relevant Obligations (it being understood that subsequent filings and recordings may be necessary to perfect Liens on the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.10) of each
grantor described therein. 
 Section 3.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Credit Facilities shall be used (a) to
finance in part the Transactions (including working capital and/or purchase price adjustments), (b) to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (c) to pay fees and expenses related to the
Transactions and related transactions (including any funding of original issue discount and upfront fees) and (d) for general corporate purposes (including, in the case of the Revolving Facility, the working capital needs, capital expenditures,

giving effect to the relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or PPSA, as applicable, in effect in the applicable jurisdiction and other relevant legislation) or (C) a foreign (other than Canadian) security or pledge agreement would
be required (except in the instance of a material Investment where the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof would not recognize a perfected lien on such asset under the laws of the United States of America or such state),

become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower. In addition, if any Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the Administrative Agent may (and if directed by the Required Lenders, shall) foreclose or otherwise enforce any Lien granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure payment and performance of
the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by applicable law, by any of the Loan Documents, by equity, or otherwise. 

Section 8.02. Performance by the Administrative Agent. If any Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents which constitutes an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of the applicable Loan
Party. In such event, each Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such performance or attempted


  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 104 








 
performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the interest rate provided for in Section 2.13(c) from and including the date of such expenditure to but
excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any
Loan Party under any Loan Document. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

The Administrative Agent 

Section 9.01. Appointment. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as agent
on its behalf, and on behalf of each of its Affiliates who are owed Obligations (each such Affiliate by acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents hereby ratifying such appointment) and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and on behalf of such Affiliates and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

Section 9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 Section 9.03.
Limitation of Duties and Immunities. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower or a
Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 105 








 Section 9.04. Reliance on Third Parties. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 9.05. Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.06. Successor Agent. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, subject to the consent of the Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Parent Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a payment or
bankruptcy Event of Default exists. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, subject to the consent of the
Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Parent Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a payment or bankruptcy Event of Default exists. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder (other than with respect to its obligations under Section 10.12). The fees payable by any Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.07. Independent Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08. Other

capacity as Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as applicable, shall have any obligations but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article IX, Section 10.03 and the last paragraph of Section 10.01. Any
Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent may resign from such role at any time, with immediate effect, by giving prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower. The provisions of this Article IX (other than
in the case of Section 9.01, 9.06, 9.10 and 9.13) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a
third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof (other than with respect to Section 9.01, 9.06, 9.10 and 9.13 as to which the Loan Parties shall have the benefit and the right to enforce). 

Section 9.09. Powers and Immunities of Issuing Bank. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
generality of the preceding sentence, the Issuing Bank (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of any Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or
for the Administrative Agent, (b) shall not be required to initiate any litigation or collection proceedings under any Loan Document, (c) shall not be responsible to any Lender or the Administrative Agent for any recitals, statements,
representations, or warranties contained in any Loan Document, or any certificate or other documentation referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability,
or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other documentation referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder, (d) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrowers), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts, and
(e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by any Loan Document, the Issuing Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions
of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not be required to take any action which exposes it
to personal liability or which is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. 
 Section 9.10. Permitted Release of Collateral
and Subsidiary Loan Parties. 
 (a) Automatic Release. If any Collateral is the subject of a Disposition (other than to another
Loan Party) which is permitted under Section 6.05, the Liens in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral will be disposed of free and clear of all Liens
of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 107 








 (b) Written Release. The Administrative Agent is authorized to release of record, and
shall release of record, any Liens encumbering any Collateral that is the subject of a Disposition described in clause (a) above upon an authorized officer of the Parent Borrower certifying in writing to the Administrative Agent that the
proposed Disposition of Collateral is permitted under Section 6.05. To the extent the Administrative Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall
do so promptly upon request of the Parent Borrower without the consent or further agreement of any Secured Party. If the Disposition of Collateral is not permitted under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Liens encumbering the Collateral may
only be released in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 9.10 or the provisions of Section 10.02. 

(c) Other Authorized Release and Subordination. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Secured Parties, without any
consent or further agreement of any Secured Party to: (i) subordinate or release the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations with respect to any property which is permitted to be subject to a Lien of the type
described in clauses (d) (to the extent such property constitutes cash or Permitted Investments), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), (p),
(r)(i)(A), (r)(ii), (u), (v), (w) (to the extent such Lien arises in connection with Indebtedness permitted by clause (h), or, if utilized for Indebtedness of the type specified in clause
(f) or (h) of Section 6.01, (v) of Section 6.01), (x) or (y) of Section 6.02, (ii) release the Administrative Agent’s Liens upon the Date of Full
Satisfaction, (iii) release and/or modify the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties on or after the Pari Passu Notes Repayment Date so that such Liens only secure the Canadian Obligations and
(iv) release the Canadian Loan Parties from their guarantee of the Obligations (other than the Canadian Obligations) on and after the Pari Passu Notes Repayment Date; provided that any subordination or release of property pursuant to
clause (i) above in reliance on Section 6.02(w) shall be limited to property which may secure Indebtedness of the type specified in Section 6.01(f), or property securing Indebtedness permitted under or of the type
permitted under Section 6.01(h) as of the date of the acquisition of the Person owning such property; provided further that if as of the date of the requested release under clause (i) or, solely with regard to
the condition in clause (A), (iii) above: (A) any Borrower is subject to a proceeding of the type described in clauses (g) or (h) of Section 8.01, or (B) the Administrative Agent is applying
the proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 2.18(f), then the Administrative Agent shall not release its Liens until the Date of Full Satisfaction. 

(d) Authorized Release of Subsidiary Loan Party. If the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Parent Borrower requesting the release of a Subsidiary Loan Party, certifying that the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such Subsidiary Loan Party because either: (1) the Equity Interest issued by such Subsidiary Loan Party
or the assets of such Subsidiary Loan Party have been disposed of to a non-Loan Party in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 (or with the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.02(b)) or (2) such
Subsidiary Loan Party has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the designation provisions of the definition of the term “Unrestricted Subsidiary”; provided that no such release shall occur if such
Subsidiary Loan Party continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Refinancing Notes or any Refinancing Junior Loans of any Loan Party or any Permitted Refinancing of any of the foregoing; 

then the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Secured Parties, without any consent or further agreement of any Secured Party to release the
Liens granted to the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations in the assets of such Subsidiary Loan Party and release such Subsidiary Loan Party from all obligations under the Loan Documents. To the extent the Administrative Agent is required
to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall do so promptly upon request of the Parent Borrower without the consent or further agreement of any Secured Party; and 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 108 








 (e) the Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into any intercreditor agreement contemplated
hereby with respect to Indebtedness that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens and which Indebtedness contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such
intercreditor agreement, an “Additional Agreement”), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender and Issuing Bank (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by, and will not
take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Additional Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations
to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers, and the Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any
Additional Agreement. 
 Section 9.11. Perfection by Possession and Control. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each of
the other Lenders to serve as bailee to perfect the Administrative Agent’s Liens in any Collateral (other than deposit, securities or commodity accounts) in the possession of any such other Lender and each Lender possessing any such Collateral
agrees to so act as bailee for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. 
 Section 9.12. Lender
Affiliates Rights. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, any Affiliate of a Lender that is owed any Obligation is bound by the terms of the Loan Documents. But notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) neither the Administrative Agent,
any Lender nor any Loan Party shall be obligated to deliver any notice or communication required to be delivered to any Lender under any Loan Documents to any Affiliate of any Lender; and (b) no Affiliate of any Lender that is owed any
Obligation shall be included in the determination of the Required Lenders or entitled to consent to, reject, or participate in any manner in any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall not have
any liabilities, obligations or responsibilities of any kind whatsoever to any Affiliate of any Lender who is owed any Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall deal solely and directly with the related Lender of any such Affiliate in connection
with all matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Obligation owed to such Affiliate shall be considered the Obligation of its related Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and such Lender shall be solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for all the obligations of such Affiliate under any Loan Document. 
 Section 9.13. Actions in Concert.
Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents, each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (A) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security
Documents or to enforce the guarantee set forth in the Guaranty Agreement, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Guaranty Agreement and the other Security Documents may be exercised solely by the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof and (B) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities
unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold in any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale. 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 109 








 Section 9.14. Certain Canadian Matters. For greater certainty, and without limiting
the powers of the Administrative Agent or any other person acting as an agent, attorney-in-fact or mandatory for the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and for the purposes of holding any security
granted by a Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any bond issued by a Borrower or any Loan Party, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act
as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Lenders as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter
into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as
the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the
Lenders to hold and be the sole registered holder of any bond which may be issued under any hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to
execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given
to the Attorney and the Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any hypothec, bond, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis,
including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec, bond, or
pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person
holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of
the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Custodian in such capacity. The Substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Custodian.

 Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of
the Administrative Agent or each Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures
may be limited to particular notices or communications. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to
any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 
 Each Loan Party
understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such
electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of any obligations under the Loan Documents by, any agent hereunder, as determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available” and none of the agents party hereto nor any of their Related Parties warrant the
accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the agents party hereto nor any of their
Related Parties in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications. 
 Section 10.02. Waivers;
Amendments. 
 (a) No Waiver; Rights Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right
or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of
a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or
modified except (i) pursuant to an Incremental Assumption Agreement executed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.20 and (ii) in the case of this Agreement and any circumstance other than as described in
clause (i) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by or with the consent of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing


  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 111 








 
entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall, (A) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders) (1) increase the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent in
Section 4.01, Section 4.02, or Section 4.03 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not be an increase of a Commitment of any Lender),
(2) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or a waiver thereof), extend the scheduled date of any interim
amortization of any Loan or reduce any fees payable hereunder, (it being understood that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of
interest or fees thereon), (3) postpone the scheduled date of payment of any interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement (other than interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or a waiver thereof), or any fees payable hereunder, or
reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, (4) postpone the final scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or (5) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (it being
understood that a waiver of any condition precedent in Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments
shall not be an extension of a Commitment of any Lender) and (C) without the written consent of each Lender (1) change any of the provisions of this Section (or for the avoidance of doubt any provision that requires the consent of all
Lenders or all directly affected Lenders) or the definition of “Required Lenders,” (2) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees of the Obligations by the Subsidiary Loan Parties (it being understood that the
Canadian Collateral Reallocation shall not be deemed a release of Guarantees), (3) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (it being understood that (A) the determination that any assets
acquired after the Effective Date shall not constitute Collateral and (B) the Canadian Collateral Reallocation, in each case, shall not be deemed a release of Collateral) or (4) change Section 2.18(b), (c) or
(f) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (except that modifications to such pro rata sharing provisions in connection with (x) loan buy back or similar programs, (y) “amend and
extend” transactions or (z) adding one or more tranches of Loans (which may but are not required to be new money tranches of Loans), which, in each case, shall only require the written consent of the Required Lenders and each Lender
participating in such transaction); provided further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (2) notwithstanding the terms of clause (ii) above, any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Term Lenders) or the Term Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and
requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, this Section 10.02(b)) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to effect an incremental facility or refinancing facility pursuant to
Section 2.20 or 2.22 (and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the terms of any such incremental facility or refinancing facility); (ii) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any intercreditor
agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding the holders of any Indebtedness as expressly contemplated by the terms of such intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as
applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to

PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE
EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF, OR A MATERIAL BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, SUCH INDEMNITEE AS DETERMINED BY A

the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes

(e) Payment. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 30 days
after written demand therefor.

(a) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.03 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties

identifiable Affiliate of such Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of: 
 (A) the Parent Borrower; provided that no consent of the
Parent Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (y) all or any portion of a
Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h) exists, an assignment to any other assignee;

 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 115 








 (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 Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (1) $1,000,000 in the case of the Term Facility and (2) $5,000,000 in the case of the Revolving Facility unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the
assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and
who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

Any assignment by a Lender without the Parent Borrower’s consent to any Disqualified Institutions who have been identified as such to all
Lenders (and any readily identifiable Affiliate of such Disqualified Institutions, or, to the extent the Parent Borrower’s consent is required under the terms hereof (and not obtained), to any other Person, shall be void ab initio, and the
Parent Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Parent Borrower at law or at equity. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 10.04, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 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 Section 10.04. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error,
and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 116 








 
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 any Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice (it being understood that no Lender shall be entitled to view any information in
the Register except such information contained therein with respect to the Class and amount of Obligations owing to such Lender). 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections
2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(c) or (d) or 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the
Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph (v). 
 (c) Participations. (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any other Person, sell participations to
one or more banks or other entities (except the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or a Disqualified Institution (to the extent a list of Disqualified Institutions has been posted to all Lenders) or any readily identifiable Affiliate of such
Disqualified Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.04, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 

Any participation by a Lender without the Parent Borrower’s consent to any Disqualified Institutions who have been identified as such to
all Lenders (and any readily identifiable Affiliate of such Disqualified Institutions, or, to the extent the Parent Borrower’s consent is required under the terms hereof (and not obtained), to any other Person, shall be void ab initio, and the
Parent Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Parent Borrower at law or at equity. 

(ii) Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for United
States federal tax purposes, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 117 








 
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document) 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 such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

(d) Pledge. Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto. 
 Section 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in
the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 and
Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if any entity ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, such entity shall be entitled to the benefits of the surviving
provisions in the previous sentence but only with respect to the period during which such entity was a Lender under this Agreement. 

Section 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES
PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN,
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.
Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together,
bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto (which may be sent on pages designated only as “Signature Pages to Credit Agreement”, “Signature Pages to Darling International Inc. Credit Agreement,” or similar
descriptions without page numbers or other identifying information), and 

  
 CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 118 








 
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by telecopy or email or other electronic means (including a “.pdf” or “.tif” file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.08. Right of
Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the Loan Obligations
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each party exercising rights under this Section 10.08 shall promptly notify
the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) after any such exercise; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not effect the validity of such right. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 Section 10.09. Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 
 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles; provided that (a) the interpretation of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” (and whether or not a Company Material

Agreement and, in any case, claims or disputes arising out of any such interpretation or determination or any aspect thereof shall, in each case, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario, regardless of

Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any

 Section 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 10.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a “need-to-know” basis (it being understood that
the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be responsible for
the compliance with this paragraph by its Related Parties), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case,
to the extent permitted by law, the party in receipt of such request shall promptly inform the Parent Borrower in advance other than in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender),
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions not less restrictive than those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement (but excluding any Disqualified Institution (to the extent a list of Disqualified Institutions has been posted to all Lenders) or any readily identifiable Affiliate of such Disqualified Institution) or
(ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its

advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Parent Borrower (h) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (i) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and any customary information about this
Agreement required for league table or similar credit. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information
as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE LOAN PARTIES
AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY ANY BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING,
THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO EACH BORROWER AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.12 to the contrary, to the extent any legal counsel, independent auditors, professionals and other experts or agents of a Lender receives any Information, such legal counsel, independent
auditors, professionals and other experts or agents shall sign an undertaking that they will treat such Information as confidential (subject to certain customary exceptions) unless there are established and enforceable codes of professional conduct
governing the confidential treatment of such Information so received. 
 Section 10.13. Maximum Interest Rate. 

(a) Limitation to Maximum Rate; Recapture. No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate.
If at any time the interest rate (the “Contract Rate”) for any obligation under the Loan Documents shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on such obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any
subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest
which would have accrued on such obligation if the Contract Rate for such obligation had at all times been in effect. As used herein, the term “Maximum Rate” means, at any time with respect to any Lender, the maximum rate of
nonusurious interest under applicable law that such Lender may charge applicable Borrower. The Maximum Rate shall be calculated in a manner that takes into account any and all fees, payments, and other charges contracted for, charged, or received in
connection with the Loan Documents that constitute interest under applicable law. Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the Maximum Rate resulting from a change in the Maximum Rate shall take effect without notice to any
Borrower at the time of such change in the Maximum Rate. For purposes of determining the Maximum Rate under Texas law, the applicable rate ceiling shall be the weekly rate ceiling described in, and computed in accordance with, Chapter 303 of the
Texas Finance Code.

 (b) Cure Provisions. No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the
collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the
provisions of this Section 10.13 shall govern and prevail and neither any Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of any Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum
paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law
shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder, and, if the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the
applicable Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower and each Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any
non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or
unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the obligations outstanding hereunder so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate. 

(c) Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code. The provisions of Chapter 346 of the Finance Code of Texas are specifically declared by the
parties hereto not to be applicable to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (d) Canadian Interest
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13 or otherwise in this Agreement, the provisions of this clause (d) shall apply to the Canadian Loan Parties. If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other
Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by the Lenders of
interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of
interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount
or rate of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 2.13, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute
“interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Lenders shall have received an amount in excess of the
maximum permitted by Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Canadian Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the Lenders in an amount equal to such excess and,
pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Lenders to the Canadian Borrower. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in Section 2.13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as
defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Effective Date to the date this Agreement is terminated and, in the
event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

 Section 10.14. Limitation of Liability. None of Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and, by the execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each other Loan
Party, hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by such party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related
to any of the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.15. No Duty.
All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall
have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any of the Parent Borrower’s shareholders or any other Person. 

Section 10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between the Loan Parties on the one hand and the Administrative Agent,
each other agent party hereto and each Lender on the other is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any other agent party hereto nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with any Loan
Party, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Loan Parties on the one hand and the Administrative Agent, each other agent party hereto and each Lender on the other to be
other than that of debtor and creditor. In addition, the Administrative Agent, each other agent party hereto and each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or
their Affiliates. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its
stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of
any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making
its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar
duty to such Loan Party, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 10.17. Construction. Each Loan
Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan
Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto. 
 Section 10.18. USA Patriot Act and Canadian Anti-Money
Laundering Legislation. (a) Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies each Loan Party
that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 (b) Each Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable
anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws in each relevant jurisdiction (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders
may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Borrowers, their respective Related Parties, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrowers shall promptly provide all such information, including
supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. 

(i) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower or any authorized signatories of the Borrower for the purposes
of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent: 
 (A) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this
Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and 

(B) shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy
or completeness. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders
agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized signatories of the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from
any Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
