Section 5.1 Assignments; Reallocations of Commitments. 

(a) On and as of the Effective Date, (i) any Continuing Lender increasing or any New Lender extending a Commitment shall make available
to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the
use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Commitment Percentage set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and the Administrative Agent shall
make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation, (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist
of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrowers, in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 2.2) and (iii) after giving effect to the provisions hereof and the
payment to it of all outstanding Obligations in respect to its Loans and Commitments, (x) the Commitment of each Lender under the Credit Agreement that is not identified on Exhibit A hereto as Continuing Lender or a New Lender (an
“Exiting Lender”) shall terminate and such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action, cease to be Lender hereunder for all purposes and (y) the remaining Commitments shall be adjusted as necessary such that on
and as of the Effective Date the Commitments hereunder shall be as set forth on Schedule A. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 4.12 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest
Periods. The Borrowers shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Exiting Lenders and Continuing Lenders whose Commitments (after giving effect to the provisions of this
Section 5.1) are so terminated (whether in whole or in part), in each case the accrued but unpaid commitment fees owing pursuant to Subsection 4.5 in respect of such Commitments so terminated. 

(b) On and as of the Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.1(a) above, the Commitments
of each Lender (including each New Lender) shall be as set forth in Schedule A (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each New Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under
the Credit Agreement. The Lenders hereby waive the provisions of the Credit Agreement requiring advance notice of any termination or reduction of commitments and prepayment of loans thereunder, provided that notice thereof is provided on the
Effective Date. 
 Section 5.2 New Lenders. 

(a) Each New Lender agrees and acknowledges as follows: (i) it has received copy of the Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement
and other Loan Documents (including, in each case, all schedules and exhibits thereto), together with copies of the most recently delivered financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and join the Credit Agreement as a Lender, and (ii) upon its execution and delivery of this Amendment it shall be a Lender under and for all purposes under
the Credit Agreement, intending to be legally bound by the terms thereof (including, without limitation, the provisions of Subsection 10.1 thereof) and it shall perform all the obligations of and be entitled to all the benefits of a Lender
thereunder. 
 (b) Each New Lender (i) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (ii) appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Collateral
Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender thereunder (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.1(a) of this Amendment) and (v) affirms the acknowledgements and representations of such New Lender as a Lender contained in Subsection

	 	(ii)	consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or

Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers), which Revolving Credit Loans: 
 (i) shall be denominated
in Dollars or in a Designated Foreign Currency; provided that (A) only ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans may be denominated in Dollars and (B) only Canadian Prime Rate Loans or BA Equivalent Loans may be denominated in Canadian
Dollars; 
 (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans,

all times be of the same Type, and (B) unless the Administrative Agent either otherwise agrees in its reasonable discretion or has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred, prior to the 15th Business Day following the Closing Date (at
which time this clause (B) shall no longer be applicable), Revolving Credit Loans may only be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans; provided that Revolving Credit Loans incurred on the Closing Date may be
incurred as Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period of two weeks; 
 (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with
the provisions hereof; 
 (iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent the
incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Individual Lender Exposure of such Lender to
exceed the amount of its Commitment at such time; 

  
 52 








 (v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the
extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate
Lender Exposure to exceed the lesser of (x) total Commitments as then in effect and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered); and 

(vi) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent any such Revolving Credit Loans to be
made on any date, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the then Available Loan Commitments. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Subsection 2.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and (prior to the Closing Date) the Co-Collateral Agent shall have the right to establish Availability Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such
matters, as the Administrative Agent and (prior to the Closing Date) the Co-Collateral Agent in their Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the
Borrowers are or will be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and
(ii) amounts owing by the Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the ABL Priority Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted
Discretion of the Administrative Agent and (prior to the Closing Date) the Co-Collateral Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral granted in the Security
Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to
such item of the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided the applicable Borrower reasonable advance notice of any such establishment; and provided further that, the Administrative
Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of
any Availability Reserve shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Availability Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent and (if applicable) the Co-Collateral Agent
shall be available to discuss any proposed Availability Reserve, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a
manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (if applicable) the Co-Collateral Agent in the exercise of their Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the
Administrative Agent and (if applicable) the Co-Collateral Agent to establish such Availability Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent and (if applicable) the Co-Collateral Agent shall have determined in their Permitted Discretion that the event,
condition or other matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,


  
 53 








 
Availability Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts” or “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or reserves or
criteria deducted in computing the net book value of Eligible Inventory or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory and vice versa. In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall have the
right, subject to Subsection 7.6, to have the Loan Parties’ Inventory reappraised by a qualified appraisal company selected by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent from time to time after the Closing Date for the purpose
of re-determining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Inventory, and, as a result, re-determining the Borrowing Base. 
 (c)
In the event the Borrowers are unable to comply with (i) the borrowing base limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1(a) or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set

again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (iii) the date the
Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of
such Agent Advance (A) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or
(B) when added to the Aggregate Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the total Commitments at such time. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set
forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its discretion to the extent the Administrative Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable Collateral, or any portion
thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to
be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made.

 2.4 Swingline

Loans (including in the case of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in any Designated Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount thereof) and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the Commitments then in
effect and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate) (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans in any Designated Foreign Currency on the date the notice of borrowing of Swingline Loans is given for purposes of determining compliance with this Subsection 2.4). Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 or

Borrower to pay the amount of the Swingline Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in Subsection 4.1. The Swingline Note shall (i) be dated

 (c) The Swingline Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and, at any time
as there shall be a Swingline Loan outstanding for more than seven Business Days, the Swingline Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower to which the Swingline Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes such Swingline Lender
to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(f)) each Lender, including the Swingline Lender to make a
Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swingline Loans made in Dollars (each, a “Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing”) in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swingline Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions
of this Subsection 2.4 shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower to prepay Swingline Loans in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 4.4(c). Unless the Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the
procedures of clause (d) of this Subsection 2.4 shall apply), each Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan (including any Eurodollar Loan) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swingline Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the
Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Credit Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a
Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Commitment of such, or any other, Lender at such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans
(including without limitation, any Eurodollar Loan) shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swingline Loans. 
 (d) If the
Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swingline Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall, at the option of the Swingline Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the
Commitments, make a Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating
interest in such Swingline Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of
such Swingline Loans; provided, that in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any
domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the
Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in such outstanding
Swingline Loans as shall be 

  
 57 








 
necessary to cause such Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Commitment Percentages, provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on
the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the
participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the
participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to
Revolving Credit Loans made as ABR Loans. Each Lender will make the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender at the office
of the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Commitments expire or terminate and in the currency in which such Swingline Loans were
made. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the Commitments. In the event that the Lenders purchase undivided participating
interests pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (d), each Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds and in the currency in which such Swingline Loans were made, the amount of its
participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swingline Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. 

(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swingline Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the
Swingline Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swingline Lender will
distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it. 

(f) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swingline Loans
in accordance with Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
that such Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swingline Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse
change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of 

  
 58 








 
the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; (v) any inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date
upon which such Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (in the currency in which such Loan
is denominated) for the account of: (i) each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become
due and payable pursuant to Section 9); and (ii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Swingline Loans become
due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in the same currency in which the respective Loan referred to above is denominated) on the unpaid principal amount of
such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Subsection 4.1. 

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in
which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Borrowers to which such Loan is made, each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and whether such Loans are Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline
Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each of the Borrowers to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
from each of the Borrowers and each applicable Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each
Lender maintained pursuant to Subsection 2.5(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the
Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 59 








 2.6 Accordion Facility. 

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time
to time after the Closing Date, to request (i) an increase of the aggregate of the then outstanding Commitments (the “Accordion Revolving Commitments”)
after the Second Amendment Effective Date or (ii) one or more term loans (the
“Accordion Term Loans” and together with the Accordion Revolving Loan Commitments, collectively, the “Accordion Facilities” and each, an “Accordion Facility”). Notwithstanding anything to contrary
herein, the principal amount of any Accordion Term Loans or Accordion Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the Available Accordion Amount at such time. Any such request shall be first made to all applicable existing Lenders on a pro rata basis. To
the extent that such existing Lenders decline to extend Commitments or term loans, the Parent Borrower may seek to obtain Accordion Revolving Commitments or Accordion Term Loans from other Persons in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in
the total Commitments or total Accordion Term Loans, as applicable, requested by the Borrowers and not accepted by the existing Lenders (each an “Accordion Facility Increase,” and each Person extending, or Lender extending,
Accordion Revolving Commitments or Accordion Term Loans, an “Additional Lender”), provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Accordion Facility Increase as a result of any such request
by the Borrowers, and (ii) any Additional Lender which is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Each
Accordion Facility Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 and in integral multiples $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Accordion Facility Increase may be denominated in Dollars, any Designated Foreign Currency and, to
the extent that every Lender and Additional Lender providing such Accordion Facility Increase is able to make Loans in another agreed currency, such other currency. 

(b) (i) Any Accordion Term Loans (A) shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu in right of payment in
respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Commitments and any existing Accordion Term Loans, (B) shall be part of, and count against, the Borrowing Base, (C) shall not have a final maturity that is earlier than
the Termination Date, (D) shall not amortize at a rate greater than 1% per annum, (E) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Loans, and (F) shall
otherwise be on terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent. 
 (ii) Any
Accordion Revolving Commitments (A) shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu in right of payment in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Commitments in effect prior to the Accordion
Facility Increase Effective Date, (B) shall be on terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the existing Commitments; provided that if the Applicable Margin relating to the Accordion Revolving Commitments may exceed the
Applicable Margin relating to the Commitments in effect prior to the Accordion Facility Increase Effective Date so long as the 

  
 60 








 
Applicable Margins relating to all Revolving Credit Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margin payable to the Lenders providing such Accordion Revolving Commitments. 

(iii) The Accordion Facilities may be in the form of a separate “first-in, last-out” tranche (the “Last-Out
Tranche”) with a separate borrowing base against the ABL Priority Collateral and interest rate margins in each case to be agreed upon (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require any adjustment to the Applicable Margin of other
Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above) among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the Last-Out Tranche so long as (1) if the Last-Out Tranche availability exceeds $0, any extension
of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility thereafter requested shall be made under the Last-Out Tranche until the Last-Out Tranche availability no longer exceeds $0, (2) as between (x) the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the
Last-Out Tranche), the Accordion Term Loans and, at the Parent Borrower’s election, Hedging Arrangements and Cash Management Arrangements permitted hereunder and secured by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (y) the Last-Out
Tranche, all proceeds from the liquidation or other realization of the Collateral (including ABL Priority Collateral) shall be applied first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the
Last-Out Tranche), the Accordion Term Loans, Hedging Arrangements and Cash Management Arrangements permitted hereunder and secured by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and second to the Last-Out Tranche, (3) no Borrower may
prepay Revolving Credit Loans under the Last-Out Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Revolving Credit Loans or Accordion Term Loans are outstanding; (4) the Required Lenders (calculated as
including Lenders under the Accordion Facilities and the Last-Out Tranche) shall control exercise of remedies in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral; and (5) no changes affecting the priority status of the Revolving Credit Facility (other
than the Last-Out Tranche) or the Accordion Term Loans vis-à-vis the Last-Out Tranche may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, other than in respect of the Last-Out Tranche, or the Accordion
Term Loans, as the case may be. 
 (c) No Accordion Facility Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following
conditions have been satisfied: 
 (i) The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed
and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents (“Joinder Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit L hereto; 

  
 61 








 (ii) The Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the
Additional Lenders and to the Administrative Agent as the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Additional Lenders shall agree; 

(iii) The applicable Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent from counsel to the applicable Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and dated such date; 

(iv) A Revolving Credit Note (to the extent requested) will be issued at the applicable Borrowers’ expense, to each such
Additional Lender, to be in conformity with requirements of Subsection 2.1(d) (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Commitment of each Additional Lender; 

(v) The Parent Borrower shall deliver a certificate certifying that (A) the representations and warranties made by the
Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Accordion Facility Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (B) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (C) the Parent Borrower would be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with
Subsection 8.1 recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower for which financial statements are available, whether or not compliance with Subsection 8.1 is otherwise required at such
time, as demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent; and 
 (vi) The applicable Borrowers and
Additional Lender shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing. 

(d) (i) In the case of any Accordion Facility Increase constituting Accordion Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Accordion Facility Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as an “Accordion Revolving Commitment Effective Date”), and at such time (i) the
Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Accordion Revolving Commitments, (ii) Schedule A shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised
Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the Lenders and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect any such Accordion Revolving Commitments. 

(ii) In the case of any Accordion Facility Increase, the Administrative Agent, the Additional Lenders and the Borrowers agree
to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Accordion Revolving Commitments and the Accordion Term Loans, the pricing of the Accordion Revolving Commitments and the Accordion Term Loans, the maturity date of the Accordion
Revolving Commitments and the Accordion Term Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments. 

  
 62 








 (e) In connection with the Accordion Facility Increases hereunder, the Lenders and the Borrowers
agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of certain Lenders, and
obtain applicable Revolving Credit Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent, in each case to the
extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their Commitment Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments
pursuant to this Subsection 2.6), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to
preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Subsection 2.6, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the
costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 which the Borrowers would otherwise occur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments. 

2.7 Refinancing Amendments. (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, at any time after the Closing Date, the
Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Facility (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding (w) Other
Term Loans, (x) Accordion Term Loans, (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans and (z) Loans provided against the Accordion Revolving Commitments, but will exclude the commitments in respect of the Last-Out Tranche unless (1) the Loans
comprising the Last-Out Tranche are the only Loans outstanding and (2) the Commitments for the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding the Last-Out Tranche) have been terminated) in the form of (i) one or more Other Term Loans or Other Term
Loan Commitments, (ii) one or more Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, or (iii) in the case of the Last-Out Tranche, a new “first-in, last-out” tranche, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to
a Refinancing Amendment. Each Tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Subsection 2.7 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $15,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or
$15,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. 

  
 63 








 (b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the
date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2 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 consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Subsection 6.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion).
Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower, or the provision to the Parent Borrower of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby,
in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Commitments. 

(c) 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 Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). The
Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Refinancing Amendment to effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 6.1. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender,
participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Commitments to Lenders holding extended 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 Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation
interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. 
 2.8 Extension of Commitments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Revolving Credit Lenders of Commitments, with a like
maturity date, or all lenders with Term Loans, with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable) and on the same terms to each
such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Commitments or Term
Loans, as applicable, and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments or Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, 

  
 64 








 
without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments (and related outstandings) or Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group
of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, as so extended, as well as the original Commitments or Term Loans (not so extended), as applicable, being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of
Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted and any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms
are satisfied: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be
determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (x) the Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”)
extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Commitments (and related
outstandings) and (y) the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender” and together with any Extended Revolving Credit Lender, if any, collectively,
“Extending Lenders”) pursuant to an Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the original Term Loans; provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Section 3 and
Subsection 2.4 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Letters of Credit and Swingline
Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis
(except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments) and (y) at no time
shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Commitments) which have more than two different maturity dates, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (including
agreements as to additional administrative fees to be paid by the Borrowers), and (iii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers. 

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Subsection 2.8, (i) such Extensions shall not
constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Subsection 4.4 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrowers may at their
election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrowers’ sole discretion and
may be waived by the Borrowers) of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of any or all applicable tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Subsection 2.8
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and
hereby waive the requirements of 

  
 65 








 
any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Subsections 4.4 and 4.8) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other
transaction contemplated by this Subsection 2.8. 
 (c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to
effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Commitments or Term Loans (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Commitments, the consent of
each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably 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 new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Commitments or Term Loans so extended, permit the repayment of
non-extending Loans on the Termination Date and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection therewith, in each case on terms consistent with this
Subsection 2.8. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date
prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent). 

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter
period as may be agreed by the Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit
facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Subsection 2.8. 

SECTION 3 LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 3.1 L/C
Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Subsection 3.4(a), agrees to continue under this Agreement for the
account of the Parent Borrower the Existing Letters of Credit issued by it and to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, together with the Existing Letters of
Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any
Restricted Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 5th day prior to the Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that no Letter


  
 66 








 
of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Extensions of Credit to the Borrowers would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in Subsection
2.1 (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in any Designated Foreign Currency on the date on which the Borrower Representative has
requested that the applicable Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for purposes of determining compliance with this clause (i)), (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $50,000,000 or (iii) the
Aggregate Outstanding Credit of all the Revolving Credit Lenders would exceed the Commitments of all the Revolving Credit Lenders then in effect. 

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or any other Designated Foreign Currency requested by the Borrower Representative
and shall be either (i) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance or otherwise arise in connection with the working capital and
business needs of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”), or (ii) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or
services by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (a “Commercial L/C”), and unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent expire no later than the earlier of (A) one
year after its date of issuance and (B) the 5th Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided that, notwithstanding any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Subsection 2.8, unless otherwise agreed, no Issuing
Lender shall be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit that expires beyond the non-extended Termination Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Subsection 3.1(b), if the Borrower Representative so requests in any L/C Request, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal L/C”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal L/C must permit the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable
Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal L/C has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
applicable Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an extended expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the 5th Business Day prior to the Termination
Date; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not permit any such renewal if (x) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of Subsection 3.2(c) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of
this clause (c), (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection 3.1. 

  
 67 








 (d) Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization
of the Commitments, and shall be participated in (as more fully described in the following Subsection 3.4) by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. All Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be denominated
in Dollars or in the respective Designated Foreign Currency requested by the Borrower Representative and shall be issued for the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a
co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 (e) Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable
Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower, each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only. 

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower Representative may, from time to time during the Commitment Period but in no
event later than the 30th day prior to the Termination Date, request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent at its address for notices specified herein, an L/C Request
therefor in the form Exhibit J hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Each L/C Request
shall specify the Designated Foreign Currency in which the requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated (or specify that the requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Dollars). Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will
process such L/C Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no
event shall an Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative. The applicable Issuing
Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower Representative promptly following the issuance thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the
applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Lender, thereof, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a
Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Subsection 3.4. If the applicable Issuing Lender is not the same person as the Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day
of each calendar month, such Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts and beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to
each Lender. 

  
 68 








 (b) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower Representative shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower Representative that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Subsection 3.1. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received
notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection
3.1, then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 

(c) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any banking regulatory authority with jurisdiction over
such Issuing Lender shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally; or 
 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of
Credit would violate one or more existing (as of the date hereof) policies of such Issuing Lender consistently applied by such Issuing Lender to borrowers generally. 

3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit commission with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal
to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect
to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders
to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender a fee equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such other date as the Commitments shall terminate. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable.
Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars, notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit may be denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency. In respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, such fees and
commissions shall be converted into Dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange. 

  
 69 








 (b) In addition to the foregoing commissions and fees, each Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse
the applicable Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender within 10 days after demand therefor. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following any receipt thereof, distribute to
the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable Lenders all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Subsection 3.3. 

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. 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, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. All calculations of the
Lenders’ Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(b) If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on the due date as provided in Subsection 3.5, such Issuing Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Each
Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed L/C Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Subsection 2.2
with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender
any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above clause (a) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the
Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lender that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Lender, as appropriate. 

(c) If any Lender shall not have made its Commitment Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided
above, each of such Lender and each Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid,
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at (i) in the case of Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Subsection 3.5(b) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation. 

  
 70 








 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each
Issuing Lender, upon receipt by the Borrower Representative of notice from the applicable Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by such Issuing Lender (an “L/C
Disbursement”), for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable
Issuing Lender, at its address for notices specified herein, in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated (except that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, in the event that such
payment is not made to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days of the date of receipt by the Borrower Representative of such notice, upon notice by such Issuing Lender to the Borrower Representative, such payment shall be made in Dollars, in
an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such payment converted on the date of such notice into Dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange on such date) and in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the date on which the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City Time, on a Business Day and otherwise, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day;
provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Subsection 2.2 that such payment be financed with ABR Loans or Swingline Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loans or Swingline Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Any conversion by an Issuing Lender of any
payment to be made in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency into Dollars in accordance with this Subsection 3.5(a) shall be conclusive and binding upon each Borrower and the applicable Revolving Credit
Lenders in the absence of manifest error; provided that upon the request of the Borrower Representative or any Revolving Credit Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender shall provide to the Borrower Representative or Revolving Credit Lender a
certificate including reasonably detailed information as to the calculation of such conversion. 
 (b) Interest shall be payable on any and
all amounts remaining unpaid (taking the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent) by the Borrowers under this Subsection 3.5(b) from the date the draft
presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to clause (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are
Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans which were then overdue. 

  
 71 








 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers as provided in Subsection 3.5
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (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 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations
of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Parent
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their affiliates 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 Lenders;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such
Issuing Lender 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 applicable Issuing Lender 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. 

3.7 L/C Disbursements. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an L/C
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give 

  
 72 








 
or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement (other than with respect
to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Subsection 3.5). 
 3.8 L/C Request. To the extent that any provision of any L/C
Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 

3.9 Cash Collateralization. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Borrowers shall then deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;. Funds so deposited
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrowers
under this Agreement. 
 3.10 Additional Issuing Lenders. The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to
this Subsection 3.10 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall
thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional Issuing Lender. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Lender hereunder, the Borrower
Representative may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Lender is to issue any particular Letter of Credit. 
 3.11 Resignation or Removal of the
Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any
time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, each Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender. At
the time any such resignation of an Issuing Lender shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3. From and after the effective date of any
such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references
herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of
an Issuing Lender, the retiring or replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

  
 73

 74 








 4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The applicable Borrowers may elect from time to time to
convert outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from (i) Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans or (ii) BA Equivalent Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans by the Borrower Representative giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election
prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time two Business Days prior to such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The
Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (x) from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans or (y) from Canadian Prime Rate Loans to BA Equivalent Loans, by the Borrower Representative giving the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time at least three Business Days’ prior to such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall specify the
length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans, BA Equivalent Loans,
ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan or BA Equivalent Loan when any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default, the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Parent Borrower that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan or BA
Equivalent Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date. 
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan or BA Equivalent Loan may be
continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower Representative giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan,
determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurodollar Loan or BA Equivalent Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless the Required
Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default, the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower Representative that no such continuations may be made or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to either the Termination Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower Representative shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this clause (b) or if
such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this Subsection 4.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. 

4.3 Minimum Amounts of Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be
in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof
and BA Equivalent Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to Cdn$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of Cdn$500,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 12 Sets at any one time outstanding. 

  
 75 








 4.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to
time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice by the
Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in any
Designated Foreign Currency), prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans other than Swingline Loans) or same-day irrevocable notice by the
Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent (in the case of (x) Swingline Loans and (y) Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency)). Such notice shall specify, in the case of any prepayment
of Loans, the identity of the prepaying Borrower, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurodollar Loans, BA Equivalent
Loans, ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of
prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurodollar Loan or BA Equivalent Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to Subsection 4.12, the Revolving Credit Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this Section shall (unless the Parent Borrower otherwise directs) be applied,
first, to payment of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and,
last, to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that any pro rata calculations required to be made pursuant to this Subsection
4.4(a) in respect to any Loan denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall be made on a Dollar Equivalent basis. Partial prepayments pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1,000,000 or Cdn$1,000,000, as
applicable, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. 
 (b) On any day (other than
during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate Lender Exposure or the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Borrowers exceeds the Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or the
total Commitments at such time, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the
aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal
to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Credit Lenders
hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. 

  
 76 








 (c) The Borrowers shall prepay all Swingline Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each
borrowing by them of Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (d) Prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b) shall be applied, first,
to prepay Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize all L/C
Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) For avoidance of doubt, the Commitments shall not be
correspondingly reduced by the amount of any prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans, payments of Reimbursement Obligations and cash collateralizations of L/C Obligations, in each case, made under Subsections 4.4(b). 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to
Subsection 4.4(a) or 4.4(b) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans
being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the relevant Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit
a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans or BA
Equivalent Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of such Borrowers to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by such
Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans
or BA Equivalent Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Borrowers may request any Extension of Credit under the Commitments that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Available Loan Commitments to an amount that is less than the
amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent
Loans; provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurodollar Loans
or BA Equivalent Loans or the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Subsection 4.4 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections
2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. 

  
 77 








 4.5 Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount
of the Unutilized Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as
the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 
 (b) Each Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives the fees set forth in Section 1(a) of the Fee Letter and comply with its obligations under the Syndication Procedure Letter. 

4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate) shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or BA Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case
may be) for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Alternate Base Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify
the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each of the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at
the request of the Borrower Representative or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to
Subsection 4.1, excluding any LIBOR Rate which is based upon the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Alternate Base Rate or any Canadian Prime Rate Loan based on the Canadian Prime Rate. 

(c) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), in any case in which an interest or fee rate is stated in this Agreement to be calculated
on the basis of a number of days that is other than the number in a calendar year, the yearly rate to which such interest or fee rate is equivalent is equal to such interest or fee rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year in which
the relevant interest or fee payment accrues and divided by the number of days used as the basis for such calculation. 

  
 78 








 4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Eurodollar Rate with respect to any Eurodollar Loan (the “Affected Eurodollar Rate”) or the BA Rate (the “Affected BA Rate”) with respect to any BA Equivalent Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is
based on the Affected Eurodollar Rate or the Affected BA Rate, as applicable, requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable and (b) any Loans that were to
have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate or Affected BA Rate shall be converted to or
continued as ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the
Affected Eurodollar Rate or Affected BA Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any of the Borrowers have the right to convert ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, as applicable, the rate of
interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate or Affected BA Rate. 
 4.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except
as expressly otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) by any of the applicable Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by any of the Borrowers on account of any
commitment fee in respect of the Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, as applicable, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in each case pro rata according
to the Commitment Percentage of the Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by any of the applicable Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any of the
Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, or the 

  
 79 








 
Other Representatives, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Subsection 11.2, in Dollars, or, in the case of Loans outstanding in any Designated
Foreign Currency and L/C Obligations in any Designated Foreign Currency, such Designated Foreign Currency and, whether in Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency, in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after
such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders or Other Representatives, as the case may be, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New
York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders or Other Representatives, as the case may be, on the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan or BA Equivalent Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of
such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. This Subsection 4.8(a) may be amended to the extent necessary to reflect
differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the
amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to (i) in the case of Loans to be made in any Designated Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Designated Foreign Currency for
settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, or (ii) in the case of Loans to be made in Dollars, the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Subsection 4.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not
made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to, in the case of Loans to be made in Dollars, ABR Loans hereunder or, in the case of Loans to be
made in any Designated Foreign Currency, the rate per annum applicable to such Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.1, in either case 

  
 80 








 
on demand, from such Borrower and (y) then such Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or
otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available, provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all
times while such amount is outstanding such Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to Subsection 2.1. 
 4.9 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any
Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent
(which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan to an
Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan
(as applicable) (or a Swingline Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable on
the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12. 

4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof
applicable to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or any Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made
subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender): 

(i) shall subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit,
any L/C Request, any Eurodollar Loans or any BA Equivalent Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof,
in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes, Taxes imposed by FATCA and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of
such capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 

  
 81 








 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or BA Rate, as the case may be, hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall
impose on such Lender or such Issuing Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, by an amount which such Lender or such Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or BA Equivalent Loans or issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Parent Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, the applicable
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, BA Equivalent
Loans, or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, such Borrower may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans and/or BA Equivalent Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, by giving
the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ notice of such election, in which case such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to
this Subsection 4.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a), it shall provide prompt notice
thereof to the Parent Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the
increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have determined that the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from
any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could 

  
 82 








 
have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy)
by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor
certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event
and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the
Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee
on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III and the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date
for all purposes herein. 
 4.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this Subsection 4.11 or as required by law, all payments
made by each of the Borrowers or the Agents under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that each of the Borrowers
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify for any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender, shall
not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Subsection 4.11 or with the requirements of Subsection 4.13, or (y) with
respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law, or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by
the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender
hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. 

  
 83 








 
federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in
Law”). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the respective Lender or Agent, as the
case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law
or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may
become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 (b) Each Agent and each Lender that stands ready to make, makes or holds any Extension of Credit to any Borrower (an
“U.S. Extender of Credit”), in each case that is not a United States Person shall: 
 (i) (1) on or before
the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country) or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying
that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (B) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying
that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; 

(2) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification provided in
Subsection 4.11(b)(i)(1) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the
Borrowers; and 
 (3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may
reasonably be requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent; or 

  
 84 








 (ii) in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, 

(1) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not (A) a bank within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; 
 (2) deliver to the Borrowers on or before the date of any payment by any of the
Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (A) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of
Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes and (C) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be certifying that it is entitled to an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes (and shall also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form or certificate on or before the
date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by any Borrower or the
Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and 
 (3) deliver, to the extent legally
entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by any Borrower, to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with
respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (3) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any
of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or 

  
 85 








 (iii) in the case of any such Agent or Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or
flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, 
 (1) on or before the date of any payment by any of the
Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and, if any
beneficiary or member of such Lender is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not (A) a bank within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from
U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes; and 

(A) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender that is not claiming the so-called “portfolio
interest exemption”, also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (I) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country
within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case so that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all
payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (II) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and 

(B) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest
exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary or member is not (1) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of

Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such beneficiary’s or
member’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made


  
 86 








 
under this Agreement and any Notes, and (III) also delivers to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes; 

(2) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such forms, certificates or certifications
referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form,
certificate or certification and obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and 

(3) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by any Borrower, to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any
Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (iii) such Agent or Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on
such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request; 
 unless in any such case there has been a Change in Law which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Agent or such Lender so advises the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Each Lender that is a U.S. Extender of Credit and each Agent, in each case that is a United States Person shall
on or before the date of any payment by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender or Agent, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form,
certifying that such Lender or Agent is a United States Person and that such Lender or Agent is entitled to complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax. 

  
 87 








 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers
under this Agreement or any Notes to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall: 
 (i) deliver to the
Borrowers (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, (B) two duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, or successor applicable form, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account
of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)) or (C) such other forms or
certifications as may be sufficient under applicable law to establish that the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes (whether for its own account or for the account of
others) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes; 
 (ii) deliver to the Borrowers two
further copies of any such form or certification provided in Subsection 4.11(d)(i) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrowers; and 
 (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrowers as may be necessary for the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their respective obligations (including any applicable reporting requirements) under FATCA, 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. 
 4.12 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender in respect of
Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the Borrowers and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than 

  
 88 








 
through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) as a consequence of (a) default by
such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, or BA Equivalent Loans after the Parent Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
(b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the
making of a payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans or the conversion of Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or
of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at
the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans or BA Equivalent Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined
by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the
indemnity contained in this Subsection 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Parent Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or
(c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks
indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 4.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the
Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Parent Borrower shall pay (or cause the relevant Borrower to pay) such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.
This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 4.13 Certain Rules
Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. 
 (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the applicable Borrower, each Lender to
which any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford such Borrower the
opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford such Borrower the
opportunity to so contest unless such Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’
and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with such Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that 

  
 89 








 
notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford any Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with such Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded
Taxes, if such Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 
 (b) If a Lender
changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to clause (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change,
as of the date of such change, would be to cause any of the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any
additional amount to any Lender by any of the Borrowers pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to
it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall
not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Parent Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the
reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 
 (d) If any of the Borrowers shall become obligated to pay additional amounts
pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, the applicable Borrower shall have the right, for so
long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in
part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately
after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty.
In the case of the substitution of a Lender, then, the Parent Borrower, any other applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and
Acceptance pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Subsection 11.6(b) in connection with
such assignment shall be paid by the Parent Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued
interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the applicable Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Subsections
4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this Subsection 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment. 

  
 90 








 (e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which any of
the Borrowers has made additional payments pursuant to Subsection 4.10(a) or 4.11(a), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the
relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to such Borrower; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto
due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. 

(f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this Subsection 4.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder. 
 4.14 Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exceeds Aggregate Revolving
Credit Loan Commitments. (a) In addition to the provisions set forth in Subsection 4.4(b), the Parent Borrower will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the
issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of (A) preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Credit Lenders
(including the Swingline Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Commitments then in effect or (ii) any other circumstance under which an Extension of Credit would not be permitted pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a) and of (B) promptly
identifying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) exceeds the aggregate Commitments then in effect. 

(b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of (A) the Revolving Credit Lenders and
(B) the Lenders (in each case, including the Swingline Lender) from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most
recently received by it from the Swingline Lender in respect of outstanding Swingline Loans, from the Issuing Lenders in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations. 

4.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) no commitment
fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (d)(v) below); 

  
 91 








 (b) in determining the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, any Lender that at the time is
a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded; 
 (c)
the Parent Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower to each become a substitute Revolving Credit Lender and assume all or
part of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and
delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution; 
 (d) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C
Obligations exists at the time a Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such
Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations shall be re-allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall
within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect
to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding; 

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is cash collateralized pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the L/C Fee for participation with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to
clause (i) above, then the 

  
 92 








 
letter of credit commission with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; or 

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
this Subsection 4.15(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, the commitment fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to
the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and the letter of credit commission payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until
such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated; 
 (e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and 

(f) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any
amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Subsection 11.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing 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 Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding
or cash collateralization of any participation 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 Administrative Agent and 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 Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, 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 L/C Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2


  
 93 








 
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. 
 (g) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
Representative, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C
Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be
necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Subsection 4.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Subsection 4.15 shall be permitted under this
Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

“Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and any bank with which such Loan Party maintains a concentration account into which
the DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts) are swept (each such account, a “Blocked Account” and collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”), covering each such concentration account maintained with such bank, which
concentration accounts as of the Closing Date are listed on Schedule 4.16(b) annexed hereto and (iv) (A) instruct all Account Debtors of such Loan Party that remit payments of Accounts of such Account Debtor regularly by check
pursuant to arrangements with such Loan Party to remit all such payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” with respect to the applicable DDA or concentration account, which remittances shall be collected by
the applicable bank and deposited in the applicable DDA or concentration account or (B) cause the checks of any such Account Debtors to be deposited in the applicable DDA or concentration account

(c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event orof
Default or a Dominion Event, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been paid in full), of all
available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire ledger balance of each Blocked Account net of such minimum balance (not to exceed $1,000,000 per account or $3,000,000 in the aggregate), if any, required by the
bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained to an account maintained by the Administrative Agent at UBS AG, Stamford Branch (the “Concentration Account”). Each Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of any Blocked
Account to be otherwise redirected. 
 (d) All collected amounts received in the Concentration Account shall be distributed and
applied on a daily basis in the following order (in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or outstanding as described below and after giving effect to the application of any such amounts

tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. 

  
 95 








 (e) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a

Agreement) or shall enter into other arrangements consistent with the provisions of this Subsection 4.16 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to such new or acquired concentration accounts or DDAs.

 SECTION 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  

To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each
Borrowing Date thereafter, the Parent Borrower with respect to itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions, and on every Borrowing Date thereafter
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 5.1 Financial Condition. (a) The audited combined balance sheets of the Business as of
September 24, 2010, September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008 and the combined statements of income, parent company equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended September 24, 2010, September 25, 2009 and
September 26, 2008, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial condition as at such date, and the combined statements of operations
and combined cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, of the Business. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the
periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible Officer, and disclosed in any such schedules and notes, and subject to the omission of footnotes from such unaudited financial statements). During the period from September 24, 2010
to and including the Closing Date, except as provided in or permitted under the Investment Agreement or in connection with the Transactions, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Business of any material part of its business
or 

  
 97 








 
property and no purchase or other acquisition by the Business of any business or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in relation to the combined financial
condition of the Business, taken as a whole, in each case, which is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto and has not otherwise been disclosed in writing to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date. 

(b) Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Subsection 5.1(a), there are no liabilities of any Loan Party of any
kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) The pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations of the Business (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies
of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are the balance sheet and statements of operations of the Business as of September 24, 2010 (the “Pro Forma Date”), adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred
on such date for purposes of the balance sheet and on September 26, 2009, for purposes of the statement of operations), to the consummation of the Transactions, and the Extensions of Credit hereunder on the Closing Date. 

(d) The Projections have been prepared by management of the Parent Borrower in good faith based upon assumptions believed by management to be
reasonable at the time of preparation thereof (it being understood that such Projections, and the assumptions on which they were based, may or may not prove to be correct). 

5.2 No Change; Solvent. Since the Closing Date, except as and to the extent disclosed on Schedule 5.2, (a) there has been no development or
event relating to or affecting any Loan Party which has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (after giving effect to (i) the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the making of the Extensions of Credit to
be made on the Closing Date and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated hereby, and (iii) the payment of actual or estimated fees, expenses, financing costs and tax payments related to the transactions contemplated hereby).
Since September 24, 2010, except (x) as contemplated or permitted by the Investment Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date, (y) in connection with the Transactions or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement and each other Loan
Document, no dividends or other distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower, nor has any of the Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for value
by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions described in preceding clauses (i) through (iii) of the second preceding
sentence, the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is Solvent. 
 5.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.
Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority,


  
 98 








 
and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the
failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the
legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each of the Borrowers, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other
organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each of the Borrowers, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, any Notes and the L/C Requests. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any
Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each of the Borrowers, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder, except for

department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Parent Borrower and each of the Borrowers, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each of the Borrowers and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens securing the Obligations) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

other than such orders or directives (i) as to which the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) as to which: (x) appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with
GAAP; (y) an appeal or other appropriate contest is or has been timely and properly taken and is being diligently pursued in good faith; and (z) if the effectiveness of such order or directive has not been stayed, the failure to comply
with such order or directive during the pendency of such appeal or contest could not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Maintain, update as appropriate, and implement in all material respects an ongoing program reasonably designed to ensure that all the
properties and operations of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are periodically reasonably reviewed by competent personnel to identify and promote compliance with and to reasonably and prudently manage any material Environmental

Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a Lien of record on all such owned real property and fixtures, upon terms reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and in accordance with any applicable

be delivered to the Collateral Agent any surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents in connection with such grant of such Lien obtained by it in connection with the acquisition of such ownership rights in such real
property or as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request (in light of the value of such real property and the cost and availability of such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents and whether the delivery of
such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents would be customary in connection with such grant of such Lien in similar circumstances). 

(b) With respect to any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) created or acquired

Collateral Agent the certificates (if any) representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the parent of such new Domestic Subsidiary and (iii) cause such new

Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s Collateral to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by
the Collateral Agent.

Parent Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, promptly
(i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new pledge agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected first priority security interest (or second priority security interest in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Subsidiary that is directly owned by any Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) (provided that in no event shall more
than 65% of the Capital Stock of any new Foreign Subsidiary be required to be so pledged and, provided, further, that no such pledge or security shall be required with respect to any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and
a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries was made therein) and
(ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly
authorized officer of the relevant parent of such new Subsidiary and take such other action as may be reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein. 

(d) At its own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register,
file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the continuation of the validity, perfection and
priority of the foregoing Liens or any other Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents.

in this Agreement, nothing in this Subsection 7.9 shall require that any Loan Party grant a Lien with respect to any owned real property or fixtures in which such Loan Party acquires ownership rights to the extent that the Administrative
Agent, in its reasonable judgment, determines that the granting of such a Lien is impracticable.

(c) Amend, supplement, waive or otherwise modify any of the provisions of any Restricted Indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the
Lenders; provided that any change to the subordination provisions of any Restricted Indebtedness shall be deemed to be materially adverse to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Subsection 8.6(c) shall not
restrict or prohibit any refinancing of Restricted Indebtedness (in whole or in part) permitted pursuant to Subsection 8.13.

the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) of $25,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or 

(i) (i) Any of the Security Documents shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or
thereof), or any Loan Party which is a party to any of the Security Documents shall so assert in writing, or (ii) the Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be perfected and enforceable in accordance with its terms or of
the same effect as to perfection and priority purported to be created thereby with respect to any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in excess of $10,000,000 (other than in connection with any termination of such Lien in respect of any

required thereunder and whether or not the BA Equivalent Loans have matured) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the
consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the
Commitments, if any, shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower

Restricted Subsidiaries shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Subsection 8.1 and shall be deemed to be in compliance therewith as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to
comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default hereunder that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. 

(b) The parties hereby acknowledge that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cure Amount received

 SECTION 10 THE AGENTS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES  

10.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender or
Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender or Issuing Lender irrevocably authorizes each agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Co-Collateral Agent and the Issuing Lender, those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent or the Other Representatives. 
 (b) Each of the Agents may perform any of
their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or delegate any and all
such rights and powers to, any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Co-Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each
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 Agent. 

(c) Except solely to the extent of the Parent Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions in
Subsection 10.9 and except for Subsection 10.13, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and no Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

  
 147 








 10.2 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include each person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and
generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

10.3 Action by an Agent. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care. 
 10.4 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) No Agent shall have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent: 

(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 (ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided
for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable Requirement of Law; and 
 (iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its affiliates in any
capacity. 

  
 148 








 (b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Subsection 11.1) or
(y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

 (c) No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of
all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be
acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. 

10.5 Acknowledgement and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents or the Other
Representatives nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of any Borrowers or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has had the
opportunity to review the Confidential Information Memorandum and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients
thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the any Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, 

  
 149 








 
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans or issue Letters of Credit
hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Other
Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the
making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment
fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, for such commercial purposes, and that
it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Subsection 11.6
applicable to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereunder. 
 10.6 Indemnity; Reimbursement by Lenders. (a) To the extent that the Parent Borrower
or any other Loan Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Subsection 11.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline
Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought
is sought under this Subsection 10.6 (or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with their Commitment Percentages, immediately prior to such date) such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party
hereto or any third party); provided that (i) 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 (or any such
sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the
Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or Issuing Lenders in connection with such capacity and (ii) such indemnity for the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders shall not include losses incurred by the Swingline
Lender or the Issuing Lenders due to one or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of Swingline Exposure under Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) or L/C Obligations under Subsection 3.4 (it being
understood that this proviso shall not affect the Swingline Lender’s or any Issuing Lender’s rights against any Defaulting Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this Subsection 10.6 are subject to the provisions of
Subsection 4.8. 
 (b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any
other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by 

  
 150 








 
it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 (c) All amounts due under this Subsection 10.6 shall be payable not later
than 3 Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Subsection 10.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

10.7 Right to Request and Act on Instructions; Reliance. (a) Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any
actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be absolutely entitled as
between itself and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents
until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against
any Agent as a result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documentation in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders (or all or such other portion of the
Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any
action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.6. 

(b) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with such advice. 

  
 151 








 10.8 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into
the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in Letters of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed
to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the
Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on
behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any applicable Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and
maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize
upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent. 

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize each Agent, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by such
Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including obligations under or in respect of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Permitted Hedging Arrangement or Cash Management Arrangements entered into with any Person who was at the time of entry
into such agreement a Lender or an affiliate of any Lender that are currently due and unpaid), (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof,
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by Subsection 11.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon
request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing any Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Subsection 10.8. 

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its
discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by Subsection 11.17. Upon
request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this Subsection 10.8(c). 

(d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Holdings or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any 

  
 152 








 
duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this Subsection 10.8 or in any of the Security Documents, it being
understood and agreed by the Lenders that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral as a Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

(e) The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or
perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree. 

10.9 Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, (i) the Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required
Lenders if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, respectively, in each
case upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall be removed by the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above or if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders, which such successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower; provided that such approval by the Parent Borrower in connection with the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall
only be required so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that the Parent Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor
Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $1 billion. Upon the successful appointment of a successor agent, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent” or “Co-Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Additionally, after such retiring Agent’s resignation as such Agent, the provisions of this
Subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation of any Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this Subsection 10.9, such resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation (and all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the resigning Issuing Lender shall be paid in full upon its resignation) and (y) shall not be required to act as Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans to be made after the date of such resignation 

  
 153 








 
(and all outstanding Swingline Loans of such resigning Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its resignation), although the resigning Administrative Agent shall retain
all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness of its resignation as Administrative Agent hereunder. The fees payable by
the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. 

10.10 Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent
that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 
 10.11 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may
withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding. If the Internal
Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or
because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, without limiting the provisions of Subsection 4.11(a) or
4.12, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred and shall make payable in respect
thereof within 30 days after demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each
Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative
Agent under this Subsection 10.11. The agreements in this Subsection 10.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of
the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 10.12 Other Representatives. None of the entities
identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Other Representative shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Other Representative shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any of
affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and in the Commitments, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Other Representative. 

10.13 Appointment of Borrower Representatives. Each Borrower hereby designates the Parent Borrower as its Borrower Representative. The Borrower
Representative will be acting as agent on each of the Borrowers behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans pursuant Subsection 4.2 or similar notices,


  
 154 








 
giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and
consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby
accepts such appointment. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such
Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. 
 10.14
Application of Proceeds. The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows: subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents  or under any Hedging Arrangement or Cash Management Arrangement described in clause sixth below shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows: first, to pay interest on and then principal of Agent Advances then outstanding, second, to pay interest on
and then principal of Swingline Loans then outstanding, third, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under the Loan Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral
and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral), fourth, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided
herein) due and owing hereunder of each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders in connection with enforcing such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, fifth, to pay interest on and then
principal of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding and any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, sixth, to
pay obligations under Hedging Arrangements and Cash Management Arrangements permitted hereunder and secured by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and seventh(notwithstanding
 the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party), seventh, to pay other Obligations then due and owing and eighth, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” above are
attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit which are then not yet required to be reimbursed hereunder, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in such clause
“fifth”. To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among
the Lenders and Issuing Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages. This Subsection 10.14 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably 

  
 155 








 
authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new
classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable. 
 SECTION 11

any such replacement under this Subsection 11.1(g), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such
replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and
(b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such

 11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the applicable Issuing Lender that issues any
Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with Subsection 8.2, none of the Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Subsection 11.6.

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary
course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign (other than to a Disqualified Lender) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its
Commitment and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A) The Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a
Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or Subsection 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that if
any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Parent Borrower’s
prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no
consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender. 

  
 162 








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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; and

 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

 For the purposes of this Subsection 11.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender,
(b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified
Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) below, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any 

  
 163 








 
related obligations under) Subsection 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Subsection 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this
Subsection 11.6. 
 (iv) The Borrowers hereby collectively designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Subsection 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register 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 any 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 a Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the
Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Subsection 11.6 and any written consent to such
assignment required by clause (b) of this Subsection 11.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the 

  
 164 








 
Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Parent Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this clause. 
 (vii) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this
Subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Parent
Borrower marked “cancelled”. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b) or any other provision
of this Agreement, if the Parent Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing in its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic
settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent
elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall
be subject to the prior written approval of the Parent Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement
Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until
Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Parent Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments
and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein. 
 Furthermore, no Assignee,
which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under Subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to
receive as of such date under such Subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event
of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing or the Parent Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment. 

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the
consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Lender) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Parent
Borrower, 

  
 165 








 
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Subsection 11.6, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) Subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Subsection 11.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Subsection 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such
Participant shall be subject to Subsection 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender. 

(ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under Subsection 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than
it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower and the Parent Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at
the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of Subsection 4.11 unless such Participant complies with
Subsection 4.11(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation. 
 (d)
Any Lender, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Subsection 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written
consent of the Parent Borrower if it would require the Parent Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to request and
receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in
accordance with applicable law. 

  
 166 








 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may
have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Subsection 11.6(b). Each Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative
Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under
any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating
any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of
forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower
specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations
of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Parent Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the
Parent Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 

(g) If the Parent Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the
option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to
(i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Subsection 11.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, all
Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or
terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Subsection 4.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed
to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of the Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this
clause (g) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 

11.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. (a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any
payment of all or part of its Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings
of the nature referred to in Subsection 9.1(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to Subsection 4.4, 4.13(d) 

  
 167 








 
or 11.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans or the
Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other
Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such
benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due
and payable under Subsection 9.1(a) by such Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

11.8 Judgment. 
 (a) If, for the purpose
of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Subsection 11.8 referred to as the
“Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on
such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Subsection 11.8 being hereinafter in this
Subsection 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 
 (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the
court of any jurisdiction referred to in Subsection 11.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall
pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted 

  
 168 








 
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated
in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Subsection 11.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The term “rate of exchange” in this
Subsection 11.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices,
the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be
delivered to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.11 Integration. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 

11.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD
REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
 11.13 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general 

  
 169 








 
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided that
nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or
other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be
brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim
the same; 
 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable Borrower, the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified in Subsection 11.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and any such Borrower shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred
to in this Subsection 11.13(a) any consequential or punitive damages. 
 11.14 Acknowledgements. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) neither any Agent nor any Other Representative or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
creditor and debtor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby among the Lenders or among any of the Borrowers and the Lenders. 

  
 170 








 11.15 Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. 

11.16 Confidentiality. (a) Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information (a) provided to it by or on behalf of
Holdings or any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents or (b) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of Holdings or any of the Borrowers or any
of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to any Agent, any Other Representative or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee, or prospective
Transferee or any creditor or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations which agrees to comply with the provisions of this Subsection 11.16
pursuant to a written instrument (or electronically recorded agreement from any Person listed above in this clause (ii), in respect to any electronic information (whether posted or otherwise distributed on Intralinks or any other electronic
distribution system)) for the benefit of the Parent Borrower (it being understood that each relevant Lender shall be solely responsible for obtaining such instrument (or such electronically recorded agreement)), (iii) to its affiliates and the
employees, officers, partners, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors of it and its affiliates, provided that such Lender shall inform each such Person of the agreement under this Subsection 11.16 and
take reasonable actions to cause compliance by any such Person referred to in this clause (iii) with this agreement (including, where appropriate, to cause any such Person to acknowledge its agreement to be bound by the agreement under
this Subsection 11.16), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates or to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority
or as shall otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, provided that, other than with respect to any disclosure to any bank regulatory authority, such Lender shall, unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law, notify the Parent
Borrower of any disclosure pursuant to this clause (iv) as far in advance as is reasonably practicable under such circumstances, (v) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, (vi) in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, under any Loan Document or under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (vii) in connection with periodic regulatory examinations and reviews conducted by the National Association of Insurance

Agreement, any affiliate of any Lender party thereto) may be a party subject to the proviso in clause (iv), and (ix) if, prior to such information having been so provided or obtained, such information was already in an Agent’s or a
Lender’s possession on a non-confidential basis without a duty of confidentiality to any Borrower being violated. 
 (b) Each Lender
acknowledges that any such information referred to in Subsection 11.16(a), and any information (including requests for waivers and amendments) furnished by the 

  
 171 








 
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers, the
other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates or their respective securities. Each Lender represents and confirms that such Lender has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; that such Lender will
handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws; and that such Lender has identified to the Administrative Agent a credit contact who may
receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law. 
 11.17 Additional
Indebtedness. In connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and
restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document (including but not limited to any Mortgages), and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may
be reasonably deemed by the Parent Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be
designated by the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or
otherwise. 
 11.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title
III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name of each Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act, and each Borrower agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender. 

11.19 Joint and Several Liability; Postponement of Subrogation. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall be joint and several and, as such, each Borrower shall be liable for all of the such obligations of the other Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law the liability of each Borrower
for the obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other applicable Borrowers with whom it has joint and several liability shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without regard to (i) the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any
applicable Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder; provided that no Borrower hereby waives any suit for breach of a contractual provision of any of the Loan
Documents) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such other applicable Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such other
applicable Borrower or such Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such other applicable Borrower for the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or of such Borrower under
this Subsection 11.19, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. 

  
 172 








 (b) Each Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of
rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the termination or expiration of all Letters of
Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document, the
termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the applicable Secured Parties and credited and applied against the obligations of the applicable Borrowers, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any
obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, any Letters of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding, each Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Borrower (or any of its successors or assigns,
whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document of such other Borrower to any Secured Party. 

11.20 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition or other proceeding be filed
by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should an interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of any Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan
Documents, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the obligations, whether as a fraudulent preference, reviewable transaction or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
