(a) such Indebtedness shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party that does not also secure the First Lien Loan Document Obligations, or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors, (b) if
secured by Collateral, such Indebtedness (and all related Obligations) shall be subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement and (c) if secured by Term Loan Priority Collateral on

“Affiliated Debt Fund”: any Affiliated Lender that is primarily engaged in, or advises funds or other investment vehicles

day-to-day matters (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, as to strategic direction and similar matters) independently from Sponsor and any Affiliate of Sponsor that is not primarily engaged in the investing activities described above,
(ii) any such Affiliated Lender has in place customary information screens between it and Sponsor and any Affiliate of Sponsor that is not primarily engaged in the investing activities described above, and (iii) neither

(each, a “Distressed Person”), a voluntary or involuntary case with respect to such Distressed Person under any debt relief law, or a custodian, conservator, receiver or similar official is appointed for such Distressed Person or
any substantial part of such Distressed Person’s assets, or such Distressed Person makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or is otherwise adjudicated as, or determined by any Governmental Authority having regulatory authority
over such Distressed Person to be, insolvent or bankrupt; provided that an Agent-Related Distress Event shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interests in any Agent or any person
that directly or indirectly controls such Agent by a Governmental Authority or an instrumentality thereof. 

  
 4

Collateral Agent and “Agent” shall mean any of them. 
 “Agreement”: this Credit Agreement, as amended,
supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time. 
 “Alternate Base Rate”: for any day, a fluctuating rate per
annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1.00%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, and
(c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period of one-month beginning on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1.00%. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain
sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, of the preceding sentence until the
circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change
in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, respectively.

consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause
(2), (3) or (4) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro
forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period;

date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate
of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying
such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be
computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or
accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

include such Person’s successors and assigns permitted hereunder.

or making any financial calculation for any fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date, the components of such financial ratio or financial calculation shall be determined on a pro forma basis to give effect to the
Transactions as if they had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be

determining compliance with any provision of this 

  
 69 








 
Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such
condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are
entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (h), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited
Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action
being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder. 
 (i) In connection with any
action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of: 
 (i) determining compliance with
any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio; or 

(ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets);

 in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition
Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the
“LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of
proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken
such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets
for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower or the
Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made
an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Asset
Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date
on which such 

  
 70 








 
Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition
Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds
thereof) have been consummated.

equal to the unpaid principal amount of the applicable Loans made (or acquired by assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b)) by such Lender to the Borrower. Each Note shall be payable as provided in Subsection 2.2(b) and provide for
the payment of interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1. 
 (b) The Initial Term Loans of all the Lenders shall be payable in
consecutive quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 2014 up to and including the Initial Term

Loan Maturity Date (subject to reduction as provided in Subsection 4.4), on the dates and in the principal amounts, subject to adjustment as set forth below, equal to the respective
amounts set forth below (together with all accrued interest thereon) opposite the applicable installment dates (or, if less, the aggregate amount of such Initial Term Loans then outstanding): 

 

			
	 Date
	  	 Amount

		
	Each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 ending prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date	  	0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date
		
	Initial Term Loan Maturity Date	  	all unpaid aggregate principal amounts of any outstanding Initial Term Loans

 2.3 Procedure for Initial Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent
notice (which notice must have been received by the Administrative Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), and shall be irrevocable after funding)
on the Closing Date specifying the amount of the Initial Term Loans to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. Each Lender having an Initial Term Loan Commitment will
make the amount of its pro rata share of the Initial Term Loan Commitments available to the Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Subsection 11.2 prior to
10:00 A.M., New York City time (or, if the time period for the Borrower’s delivery of notice was extended, such later time as agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, but in no event less than one
hour following notice), on the Closing Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall on such date credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the
amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 
 2.4
[Reserved] 
 2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent in
Dollars for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Initial Term Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower, on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Initial Term Loans become due and
payable pursuant to Section 9). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Initial Term 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 shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this
Agreement. 

  
 72 








 (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 and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower 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 the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 2.6 [Reserved] 

2.7 [Reserved] 
 2.8
Incremental Facilities. (a) So long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1 (a) or (f) exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the
Closing Date, (i) to request new term loan commitments under one or more new term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), (ii) to increase the
Existing Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to an Existing Term Tranche (the “Supplemental Term Loan Commitments”), (iii) to increase any existing Incremental Revolving Commitments by
requesting new Incremental Revolving Commitments be added to an existing tranche of Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Supplemental Revolving Commitments”), (iv) to request new commitments under one or more new
revolving facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), and (v) to request new letter of credit facility commitments under one or more new letter of credit facilities to be
included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Letter of Credit Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, Supplemental Term Loan Commitments, Supplemental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental
Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that, (i) the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments permitted pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 shall not exceed, at the time the
respective Incremental Commitment becomes effective (and after giving effect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith and the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinancing other Indebtedness), an amount that could
then be Incurred under this Agreement in compliance with Subsection 8.1(b)(i), (ii) if any portion of an Incremental Commitment is to be incurred in reliance on clause (ii) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental
Facilities Amount”, the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent, certifying compliance with the financial test set forth in such clause (together with calculations demonstrating compliance with such test) and
(iii) if any portion of an Incremental Commitment is to be incurred in reliance on clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”, the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent, certifying the amount of the available basket in such clause to be used 

  
 73 








 
for the incurrence of such Incremental Commitment. Any loans made in respect of any such Incremental Commitment (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving
Commitments) shall be made by creating a new Tranche. Each Incremental Commitment made available pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess
thereof (or in such lower minimum amounts or multiples as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 
 (b) Each
request from the Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 2.8 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments. The Incremental Commitments (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender
or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Incremental Lender”, and the Additional Incremental Lenders together with any existing Lender providing Incremental
Commitments, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that if such Additional Incremental Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender hereunder or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Administrative Agent
and (in the case of a Supplemental Revolving Commitment) the consent of any swingline lender or letter of credit issuing lender that would have credit exposure to such Additional Incremental Lender (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required (it being understood that any such Additional Incremental Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection 11.6(h), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if
such Incremental Commitments and related Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment). 
 (c) Supplemental Term Loan
Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitments shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Tranche of Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments to be increased, executed by the Borrower and each
increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-1 (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each Additional Incremental Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2 (the
“Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register. Upon effectiveness of the Lender Joinder Agreement each Additional Incremental Lender shall be a
Lender for all intents and purposes of this Agreement and the term loan made pursuant to such Supplemental Term Loan Commitment shall be a Term Loan or commitments made pursuant to such Supplemental Revolving Commitment shall be Incremental
Revolving Commitments, as applicable. 
 (d) Incremental Commitments (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental
Revolving Commitments) shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each
applicable Incremental Lender. An Incremental Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.8; provided, however, that (i) (A) the Incremental Commitments will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary
Guarantors, and will be secured on a pari passu or (at the Borrower’s option) junior 

  
 74 








 
basis by the same Collateral securing the First Lien Loan Document Obligations (so long as any such Incremental Commitments (and related Obligations) are subject to the Term Loan Priority
Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement), (B) the Incremental Commitments and any incremental loans drawn thereunder (the “Incremental Loans”) shall
rank pari passu in right of payment with or (at the Borrower’s option) junior to the First Lien Loan Document Obligations and (C) no Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide for (I) any Incremental Commitment
or any Incremental Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the First Lien Loan Document Obligations and (II) so long as any Initial Term Loans are outstanding, any mandatory
prepayment from the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Dispositions (other than any Asset Disposition in respect of any assets, business or Person the acquisition of which was financed, all or in part, with Incremental Loans provided pursuant to such
Incremental Commitment Amendment and the disposition of which was contemplated by any definitive agreement in respect of such acquisition) or Recovery Event or from Excess Cash Flow, to the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition or
Recovery Event or such Excess Cash Flow are required to be applied to repay the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e), on more than a ratable basis with the Initial Term Loans (after giving effect to any amendment in accordance
with Subsection 11.1(d)(vi)); (ii) no Lender will be required to provide any such Incremental Commitment unless it so agrees; (iii) the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term
Loan Commitments shall be no earlier than or shorter than, as the case may be, the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans, as applicable (other than an earlier maturity date
and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an
earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans, as applicable); (iv) the interest rate margins
and (subject to clause (iii) above) amortization schedule applicable to the loans made pursuant to the Incremental Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that in the event that
the applicable interest rate margins for any term loans Incurred by the Borrower under any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, on or prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, are higher than the applicable interest rate margin for the
Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the applicable interest rate margin for the Initial Term Loans is equal to the applicable
interest rate margins for such Incremental Term Loan Commitment minus 50 basis points; provided, further that, in determining the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans,
(A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees payable generally to all participating Lenders in lieu of OID (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under the
Initial Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loan in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID and upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) (provided that, if the Initial
Term Loans are issued in a manner such that all Initial Term Loans were not issued with a uniform amount of OID or upfront fees within the Tranche of Initial Term Loans, the amount of OID and upfront fees attributable to the entire Tranche of
Initial Term Loans shall be determined on a weighted average basis); (B) any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in 

  
 75 








 
connection with the Incremental Term Loans that are not shared with all Additional Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded; (C) any amendments to
the Applicable Margin on the Initial Term Loans that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such Incremental Term Loans shall also be included in such calculations and (D) if the Incremental Term Loans
include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable
Margin for the Initial Term Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor
(but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the Initial Term Loans shall be increased by such amount; (v) such Incremental Commitment Amendment may provide (1) for the inclusion, as appropriate, of Additional Incremental
Lenders in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder, (2) class voting and other class protections for any additional credit facilities, (3) for the amendment of the
definitions of “Additional Obligations”, “Disqualified Stock”, “Junior Capital” and “Refinancing Indebtedness” and Subsection 8.8(b), in each case only to extend the maturity date and the weighted
average life to maturity requirements, from the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans to the extended maturity date and the remaining weighted average life to maturity of such
Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, (4) provide for adjustments to the definition of “Agent Default” and add “Defaulting Lender” protections, (5) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment or an
Incremental Letter of Credit Commitment, add appropriate modifications to Subsection 2.8 to provide for “amend and extend” mechanics for Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Letter of Credit Commitments (and related
Obligations) and appropriate modifications to Subsection 2.10 to provide for “refinancing facilities” mechanics for Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Letter of Credit Commitments (and related Obligations), in
each case under this clause (5) and the preceding clause (4) on terms substantially similar to the equivalent provisions in “cash flow” revolving credit facilities of U.S. companies sponsored by CD&R (as
determined in good faith by the Borrower), or as otherwise agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Commitments (including any swingline lender or issuing lender) and (6) for the amendment of clause
(iii) of the definition of “Additional Obligations” to provide for the applicable mandatory prepayment protections to apply to such Incremental Term Loans; and (vi) the other terms and documentation in respect thereof, to
the extent not consistent with this Agreement as in effect prior to giving effect to the Incremental Commitment Amendment, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation
are not consistent with, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the terms and documentation governing the Initial Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 2.9 Permitted Debt Exchanges. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to
certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Term
Loans of a particular 

  
 76 








 
Tranche, as selected by the Borrower, the Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans of such Tranche for Additional Obligations in
the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the aggregate principal amount
(calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall be equal to or more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans,
(ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of
the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iii) if the
aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which
exceeds the principal amount of the applicable Tranche actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Borrower
shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (iv) each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall
be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an
institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) based on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche, (v) all documentation in respect
of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation
with the Administrative Agent and (vi) any applicable Minimum Exchange Tender Condition shall be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans exchanged
pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer. 
 (b) With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Borrower pursuant to this
Subsection 2.9, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Subsection 4.4
and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (or such lower principal amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion);
provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Exchange Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be
determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans be tendered. 
 (c)
In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be 

  
 77 








 
agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Subsection 2.9 and without conflict with Subsection 2.9(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are
required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 
 (d) The Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to
comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with
the Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange (other than the Borrower’s reliance on any certificate delivered by a Lender pursuant to Subsection 2.9(a) above for which such Lender shall
bear sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. 
 2.10 Extension of Term Loans. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a
portion of the Term Loans of one or more Tranches (including any Extended Term Loans) existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche” and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term
Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Term Tranche (any such Existing Term Tranche which has been so extended, an
“Extended Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Subsection 2.10; provided that (i) any such
request shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans, with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans), and
(ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. In order to establish any Extended Term Tranche, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy
of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Tranche to be established, which terms shall be identical to those
applicable to the Existing Term Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Term Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Term Tranches may be delayed to later
dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Term Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing
Term Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case to the extent provided
in the applicable Extension Amendment, and (z) amortization with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be greater or lesser than amortization for the Specified Existing Term Tranche, so long as the Extended Term Tranche does not have
a weighted average life to maturity shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Specified Existing Term Tranche; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 2.10 or otherwise,
assignments 

  
 78 








 
and participations of Extended Term Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions than the assignment and
participation provisions applicable to Initial Term Loans set forth in Subsection 11.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Term Loans converted into an Extended Term Tranche pursuant to any Extension
Request. Any Extended Term Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Term Loans from the Specified Existing Term Tranches and from any other Existing Term Tranches (together with any other Extended Term Tranches so established on such date).

 (b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative
Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranche(s) are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its
Specified Existing Term Tranche converted into an Extended Term Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified
Existing Term Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Term Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Term Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Tranches requested
pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Term Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Term Tranches included in each such
Extension Election. In connection with any extension of Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 2.10 (each, an “Extension”), the Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative
adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of
this Subsection 2.10. The Borrower may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on
which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranche are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Extension
Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Election becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to
submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline. 
 (c) Extended Term Tranches shall be established pursuant to an
amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to (i) provisions related to maturity, interest margins, fees or amortization referenced in clauses (x) through (z) of
Subsection 2.10(a), (ii) the definitions of “Additional Obligations”, “Disqualified Stock”, “Junior Capital” and “Refinancing Indebtedness” and Subsection 8.8(b) to amend the maturity
date and the weighted average life to maturity requirements, from the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans to the extended maturity date and the remaining weighted average life to
maturity of such Extended Term Tranche, as applicable and (iii) clause (iii) of the definition of “Additional Obligations” to provide for the applicable mandatory prepayment protections to apply to such Extended Term
Tranche, and which in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the third to last 

  
 79 








 
sentence of this Subsection 2.10(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Subsection 11.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending
Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Tranches established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any Extended Term Tranche in an aggregate principal
amount that is less than $10,000,000 (or such lower principal amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting the generality or
applicability of Subsection 11.1 to any Subsection 2.10 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional
amendment, a “Subsection 2.10 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Subsection 2.10 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Subsection 2.10
Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be
required in order for such Subsection 2.10 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Subsection 11.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Extended Term Tranche to be secured by
any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Specified Existing Term Tranche. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time
thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Subsection 2.10 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a
consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Subsection 2.10 Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Extending Lenders, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of this Agreement as amended by such Extension Amendment, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Tranche is converted to
extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Term Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such
Specified Existing Term Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Term Tranches shall be established as a separate
Tranche from the Specified Existing Term Tranche and from any other Existing Term Tranches (together with any other Extended Term Tranches so established on such date). 

(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by
the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, (i) replace such
Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Subsection 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall 

  
 80 








 
have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Term Loans on the terms set
forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at its
option, the Borrower) to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) if no Event of Default exists under Subsection 9.1(a) or (f), upon notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the
Existing Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Subsection 2.10, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and
Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Term Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or,
at its option, the Borrower) to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date, the Administrative Agent shall
record such assignment in the Register and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender. 

(f) Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its
Existing Term Loans deemed to be an Extended Term Loan under the applicable Extended Term Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Term Tranche; provided that such
Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion). Following a
Designation Date, the Existing Term Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extended Term Tranche, and any Existing Term Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if
any, shall continue to be “Existing Term Loans” of the applicable Tranche. 
 (g) With respect to all Extensions consummated by
the Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 2.10, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Subsection 4.4 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to
be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be
determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Existing Term Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Subsection 2.10 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant
Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including 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 2.10.

 2.11 Specified Refinancing Facilities. (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, add
one or more new term loan facilities (the “Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities”) to the Facilities to refinance all or any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement; provided that
(i) the Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities will not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, and will be secured on a pari passu or (at the Borrower’s option) junior basis
by the same Collateral securing the First Lien Loan Document Obligations (so long as any such Specified Refinancing Amendments (and related Obligations) are subject to the Term Loan Priority Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) the Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities and any term loans drawn thereunder (the “Specified Refinancing Term Loans”) shall rank pari passu
in right of payment with or (at the Borrower’s option) junior to the First Lien Loan Document Obligations, (iii) no Specified Refinancing Amendment may provide for any Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facility or any Specified
Refinancing Term Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the First Lien Loan Document Obligations, (iv) the Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities will have such pricing,
amortization (subject to clause (vi) below) and optional and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof, (v) the maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of the
Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities shall be no earlier than or shorter than, as the case may be, the Maturity Date of the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced or the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans being
refinanced, as applicable (other than an earlier maturity date and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be
exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Maturity Date of the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced or the remaining weighted average life to
maturity of the Term Loans being refinanced, as applicable), (vi) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facility shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment
of outstanding Loans being so refinanced, in each case pursuant to Section 4.4; and (vii) the Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities shall not have a principal or commitment amount greater than the Loans being refinanced
plus the aggregate amount of all fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. 

(b) Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 2.11 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facility. The Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other financial
institution, an “Additional Specified Refinancing Lender”, and the Additional Specified Refinancing Lenders together with any existing Lender providing Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities, the “Specified Refinancing
Lenders”); provided that if such Additional Specified Refinancing Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender hereunder or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required (it being understood that any such Additional Specified Refinancing Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection 11.6(h), mutatis mutandis, to
the same extent as if such Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities and related Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment). 

  
 82 








 (c) Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities shall become facilities under this Agreement
pursuant to a Specified Refinancing Amendment to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower and each applicable Specified Refinancing Lender. Any Specified Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of
any other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.11, in each case on terms consistent
with this Section 2.11. 
 (d) Any loans made in respect of any such Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facility shall be made by
creating a new Tranche. Each Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facility made available pursuant to this Subsection 2.11 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or
such lower minimum amounts or multiples as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 
 (e) The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Specified Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Specified Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed
amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities as
separate “Facilities” and “Tranches” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Facilities being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Specified Refinancing Amendment may, without the
consent of any Person other than the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Term Loan Facilities, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.11. 

SECTION 3 
 [Reserved] 

SECTION 4 
 General Provisions
Applicable to Loans 
 4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day
during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect for
such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

  
 83 








 (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any
interest payable thereon or (iii) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is
(x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.1, plus 2.00% and (y) in the case of other amounts
(including overdue interest), the rate described in clause (b) of this Subsection 4.1 for ABR Loans accruing interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid
in full (after as well as before judgment). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that
interest accruing pursuant to clause (c) of this Subsection 4.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand exercised in accordance with Subsection 9.2. 

(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the
aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document
relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws. 

4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to its obligations pursuant to Subsection 4.12(c), the Borrower may
elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans of a given Tranche from Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time two Business Days
(or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to such election. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans of a given Tranche from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans,
by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) prior to such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar 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 or ABR 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 when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than a Default under Subsection 9.1(f)), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such
conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Maturity Date. 

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower
giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in
Subsection 1.1; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) (unless 

  
 84 








 
the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than a Default under Subsection 9.1(f)),
the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Maturity Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower
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 shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such
then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this Subsection 4.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. 

4.3 Minimum Amounts; Maximum 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
$250,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 20 Sets at any one time outstanding. 
 4.4 Optional and Mandatory
Prepayments. (a) Optional Prepayment of Term Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans made to it, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty (except as
provided in Subsection 4.5(b)), upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Eurodollar Loans), or prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time on the date of prepayment (in the case of ABR Loans) (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion). Such notice shall specify, in the case of any prepayment of Term Loans, the applicable Tranche being repaid, and if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each, the date and amount of prepayment and whether
the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each. Any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective
date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given and not revoked, the amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to Subsection 4.12. Partial prepayments pursuant to this
Subsection 4.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1,000,000; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Term Loan may be prepaid in its entirety. Each prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(a)
made on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from its incurrence of new Indebtedness under first lien secured bank financing in a
Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by the payment of the fee required by Subsection 4.5(b). 
 (b) [Reserved]. 

  
 85 








 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) [Reserved]. 
 (e)
(i) The Borrower shall, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by Subsection 8.4(b) (subject to Subsection 8.4(c)), (ii) if on or after the Closing Date, the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall Incur Indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Subsection 8.1 other than Specified Refinancing Term Loans), the Borrower shall, in accordance with
Subsection 4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans (or, in the case of the incurrence of any Specified Refinancing Term Loans, the Tranche of Term Loans being refinanced) in an amount equal to 100.0% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus the
portion of such Net Cash Proceeds applied (to the extent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness on no more than a pro rata basis with the Term Loans, in each case
with such prepayment to be made on or before the fifth Business Day following notice given to each Lender of the Prepayment Date, as contemplated by Subsection 4.4(h), and (iii) the Borrower shall, in accordance with Subsection
4.4(g), prepay the Term Loans within 120 days following the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on or about September 25, 2015) (each, an “ECF Payment Date”), in an
amount equal to (A) (1) 50.0% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the last proviso of this clause (iii)) of the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year minus (2) the sum of (w) the
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) prepaid pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a), Incremental Revolving Loans voluntarily prepaid to the extent
accompanied by a corresponding permanent Incremental Revolving Commitment reduction, Pari Passu Indebtedness (in the case of revolving loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction) voluntarily prepaid, repaid,
repurchased or retired and any prepayment of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) (provided that such deduction for prepayments pursuant
to Subsection 4.4(l) shall be limited to the actual cash amount of such prepayment), in each case during such Fiscal Year (which, in any event, shall not include any designated prepayment pursuant to clause (x) below),
(x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) prepaid pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a), Incremental Revolving Loans voluntarily prepaid
to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent Incremental Revolving Commitment reduction, Pari Passu Indebtedness (in the case of revolving loans, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction) voluntarily
prepaid, repaid, repurchased or retired and any prepayment of Term Loans (including Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Specified Refinancing Term Loans) pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) (provided that such deduction for
prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) shall be limited to the actual cash amount of such prepayment), in each case during the period beginning with the day following the last day of such Fiscal Year and ending on the ECF Payment Date and
stated by the Borrower as prepaid pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(e)(iii) (provided that no prepayments made pursuant to the other clauses of this Subsection 4.4(e) shall be included in Subsections 4.4(e)(iii)(A)(2)(w) or
(x)), (y) any ABL Facility Loans prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under the Senior ABL Facility during such Fiscal Year (which, in any event, shall not include any designated

aggregate principal amount of ABL Facility Loans prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under the Senior ABL Facility during the period beginning with
the day following the last day of such Fiscal Year and ending on the ECF Payment Date and stated by the Borrower as prepaid pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(e)(iii), in each case, excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence
of long-term Indebtedness (the amount described in this clause (A), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount applied (to the extent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is
required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase Pari Passu Indebtedness on no more than a pro rata basis with the Term Loans; provided that such percentage in clause (1) above shall be reduced to 0% if the Consolidated First
Lien Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year was less than 2.75:1.00. Nothing in this Subsection 4.4(e) shall limit the rights of the Agents and the Lenders set forth in Section 9. 

(f) [Reserved]. 
 (g) Subject to
the last sentence of Subsection 4.4(h) and Subsection 4.4(k), each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e) (other than a prepayment with the proceeds of Specified Refinancing Term Loans) shall be allocated pro
rata among the Initial Term Loans, the Incremental Term Loans, the Extended Term Loans and the Specified Refinancing Term Loans; provided, that at the request of the Borrower, in lieu of such application on a pro rata basis among all Tranches
of Term Loans, such prepayment may be applied to any Tranche of Term Loans so long as the maturity date of such Tranche of Term Loans precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding or, in the event more than one
Tranche of Term Loans shall have an identical maturity date that precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, to such Tranches on a pro rata basis. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Subsection
4.4(a) shall be applied within each applicable Tranche of Term Loans to the respective installments of principal thereof in the manner directed by the Borrower (or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment of
Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e) shall be applied within each applicable Tranche of Term Loans, first, to the accrued interest on the principal amount of Term Loans being prepaid and, second, to the respective
installments of principal thereof in the manner directed by the Borrower (or, if no such direction is given in direct order of maturity). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subsection 4.4, a Lender may, at its option, and if agreed
by the Borrower, in connection with any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a) or (e), exchange such Lender’s portion of the Term Loan to be prepaid for Rollover Indebtedness, in lieu of such Lender’s pro rata
portion of such prepayment (and any such Term Loans so exchanged shall be deemed repaid for all purposes under the Loan Documents). 
 (h)
The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans (x) pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e)(iii), three Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and
(y) pursuant to any other provision of Subsection 4.4(e), promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) upon becoming obligated to make such prepayment. Such notice shall state that the Borrower is offering to make or will
make such mandatory prepayment (i) in the case of mandatory prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e)(i), on or before the date specified in Subsection 8.4(b) and (ii) in


  
 87 








 
the case of mandatory prepayments pursuant to any other clause of Subsection 4.4(e), on or before the date specified in such clause, as the case may be (each, a “Prepayment
Date”). Subject to the following sentence, once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this
Subsection 4.4(h)). Any such notice of prepayment pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit
facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such
notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment and the Prepayment Date. The Borrower (in its sole discretion) may give each Lender the option (in its sole discretion) to elect to decline any such
prepayment (other than a prepayment pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e)(ii), except as otherwise provided for in the last sentence of Subsection 4.4(g)) by giving notice of such election in writing to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the date that is three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the Prepayment Date. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to the payment or prepayment of Indebtedness, including any Junior Debt, or otherwise be
retained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and/or applied by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement. 

(i) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a), (e) or (l) may not be reborrowed.

 (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of Loans pursuant to
Subsection 4.4(a), or (e) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under Subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being prepaid other
than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to
100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as
security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the
first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of Loans in accordance with
Subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be
equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, such unpaid Eurodollar Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with
Subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurodollar Loans or the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid. In addition, if the Borrower reasonably determines in good faith that any amounts attributable to


  
 88 








 
Foreign Subsidiaries that are required to be applied to prepay Term Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e)(i) or (iii) would result in material adverse tax consequences to
Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay such amounts as required thereunder; provided that the Borrower shall take commercially reasonable actions to permit repatriation of the
proceeds subject to such prepayments in order to effect such prepayments without incurring material adverse tax consequences. 
 (k)
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 Term Loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.8, 2.10 and 2.11, as applicable, or pursuant to any other credit or letter of credit
facility added pursuant to Subsection 2.8 or 11.1(e). 
 (l) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so
long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis: 

(i) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the
“Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, a Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers, or a Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case
made in accordance with this Subsection 4.4(l); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Subsection 4.4(l) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (1) at least ten
Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date (or such shorter period as agreed to by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) or (2) at least three Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified
Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers made by a Lender (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each Lender participating in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment, (1) the Borrower then may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Term Loans or the Loan Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by
such Lender to participate in such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment (“Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative
Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, has made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none
of Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any


  
 89 








 
claims such Lender may have against Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the
nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender participating in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders. Any Term Loans
prepaid pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) shall be immediately and automatically cancelled. 
 (ii) Borrower Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment. (1) The Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender or
to each Lender with respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate Outstanding Amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”), the Tranches of
Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par value (the “Specified Discount”) of the Outstanding Amount of such Term Loans to be prepaid, (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be
in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000, and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each
relevant Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00
P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date designated by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower) (the “Specified Discount
Prepayment Response Date”). 
 (2) Each relevant Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Administrative Agent
(or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount
Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Amount and Tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept such Borrower Offer of
Specified Discount Prepayment. 
 (3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make
prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l)(ii) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective Outstanding Amount and Tranches of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified
Discount Prepayment Response given 

  
 90 








 
pursuant to the foregoing clause (2); provided that, if the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the
Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective Outstanding Amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount
Proration”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to
such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate
Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of all Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date, and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the Outstanding
Amount, Tranche and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with Subsection 4.4(l)(vi)
below (subject to Subsection 4.4(l)(x) below). 
 (iii) Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment
Offers. (1) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion) notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender or to each Lender with respect to
any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount of the relevant Term Loans that the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Amount”), the Tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the Outstanding Amount of such Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower,
(III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000, and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant Lender to
the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be designated by the Administrative
Agent and approved by the Borrower) (the “Discount Range Prepayment  

  
 91 








 
Response Date”). Each relevant Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted
Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans and the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Term Loans such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the
Submitted Discount (the “Submitted Amount”). Any Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range. 
 (2)
The Administrative Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by it by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative
Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this Subsection 4.4(l)(iii). The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Administrative Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest
discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”)
which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to the lesser of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discount
Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required
proration pursuant to the following Subsection 4.4(l)(iii)(3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”). 

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each
Participating Lender in the aggregate Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders
offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to
par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified
Participating Lender and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range
Proration”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three Business Days following the 

  
 92 








 
Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (w) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the
Applicable Discount, and the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (x) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate
Outstanding Amount and Tranches of all Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Participating Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable
Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by such Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with
Subsection 4.4(l)(vi) below (subject to Subsection 4.4(l)(x) below). 
 (iv) Borrower Solicitation of
Discounted Prepayment Offers. (1) The Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Administrative Agent with three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender
or to each Lender with respect to any Tranche on an individual Tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans and the Tranches of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a
discount (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000, and (IV) each such
solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a
form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice
to the relevant Lenders (or such later date as may be designated by the Administrative Agent and approved by Borrower) (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer
shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of
its then outstanding Term Loans and the maximum aggregate Outstanding Amount and Tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Lender whose Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value. 

  
 93 








 (2) The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of
all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by it by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select, at its sole discretion, the smallest of the Offered
Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that the Borrower is willing to accept (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any; provided that the Acceptable Discount shall not
be an Offered Discount that is larger than the smallest Offered Discount for which the sum of all Offered Amounts affiliated with Offered Discounts that are larger than or equal to such smallest Offered Discount would, if purchased at such smallest
Offered Discount, yield an amount at least equal to the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable
Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause
(2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and
Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers. 

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Administrative Agent by the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Administrative Agent will determine (in
consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”)
to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Subsection 4.4(l)(iv). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received by the Administrative Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject
to any required proration pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l)(iv) to
each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate Outstanding Amount and of the Tranches specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying
Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the 

  
 94 








 
Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than
or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the
Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Administrative Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or
prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (w) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment and the Tranches to be prepaid, (x) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Tranches to be prepaid at the Applicable
Discount on such date, (y) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying
Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment
amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with Subsection 4.4(l)(vi) below (subject to Subsection 4.4(l)(x) below). 

(v) Expenses. In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree
that the Administrative Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith. 

(vi) Payment. If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with Subsections 4.4(l)(ii) through
(iv) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders,
Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments
shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not
including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as
applicable. The aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Tranches of the Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. The Lenders hereby agree that, in 

  
 95 








 
connection with a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) interest in respect
of the Term Loans may be made on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders holding such Term Loans to reflect the payment of accrued interest to certain Lenders as provided in this Subsection 4.4(l)(vi) and (ii) all subsequent
prepayments and repayments of the Term Loans (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement) shall be made on a pro rata basis among the respective Lenders based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the
respective Lenders after giving effect to any prepayment pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) as if made at par. It is also understood and agreed that prepayments pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) shall not be subject to Subsection
4.4(a), or, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsection 11.7(a) or the pro rata allocation requirements of Subsection 4.8(a). 

(vii) Other Procedures. To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be
consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Subsection 4.4(l), established by the Administrative Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower. 

(viii) Notice. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Subsection
4.4(l), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Administrative Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual
receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next
Business Day. 
 (ix) Actions of Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees
that Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Subsection 4.4(l) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Administrative Agent to
such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions in this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Subsection 4.4(l) as well as to activities of the Administrative Agent in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Subsection 4.4(l). 

(x) Revocation. The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to revoke in full (but
not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or
prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is so revoked, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) shall not constitute a Default or Event of
Default under Subsection 9.1 or otherwise). 
 (xi) No Obligation. This Subsection 4.4(l) shall not
(i) require the Borrower to undertake any prepayment pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(l) or (ii) limit or restrict the Borrower from making voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with the other provisions
of this Agreement. 

  
 96 








 4.5 Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in clause (i) of the second paragraph of the Fee Letter (without duplication of any fees payable to the Second Lien Agent pursuant to such section of the Fee Letter) on the payment dates set forth
therein. 
 (b) If on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date the Borrower makes an optional prepayment in full of the Initial
Term Loans in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from its incurrence of new Indebtedness under first lien secured bank financing in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans being prepaid. If, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any Lender is replaced
pursuant to Subsection 11.1(g) in connection with any amendment of this Agreement (including in connection with any refinancing transaction permitted under Subsection 11.6(g) to replace the Initial Term Loans) that results in a
Repricing Transaction, such Lender (and not any Person who replaces such Lender pursuant to Subsection 2.10(e) or 11.1(g)) shall receive a fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Lender assigned to a
replacement Lender pursuant to Subsection 2.10(e) or 11.1(g). 
 4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and interest based on the Base 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 Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting
from a change in the Alternate Base 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 Borrower and
the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each determination of an interest
rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any
Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Subsection 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. 
 (c) Upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank (whether or not currently a Lender hereunder) agrees that, if such Reference Bank is currently providing quotes for United States Dollar deposits to leading banks in the London interbank


  
 97 








 
market, it will promptly (and no later than the Business Day following any such request) supply the Administrative Agent with the rate quoted by such Reference Bank to leading banks in the London
interbank market two Business Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period for United States Dollar deposits of a duration equal to the duration of such Interest Period. 

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 the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to
any Eurodollar Loan for such Interest Period (the “Affected Eurodollar Rate”), the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Eurodollar Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any
Term Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR
Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have
the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate. 

4.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment,
but excluding payments made pursuant to Subsections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 4.5(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 11.1(g) or 11.6) by the Borrower on account of
principal of and interest on account of any Loans of a given Tranche (other than (v) payments in respect of any difference in the Applicable Margin, Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Alternate Base Rate in respect of any Tranche,
(w) any payments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e) to the extent declined by any Lender in accordance with Subsection 4.4(h), (x) any payments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(l) which shall be allocated as set
forth in Subsection 4.4(l) and (y) any prepayments pursuant to Subsection 11.6(h)(i)(2)) shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans of
such Tranche then held by the respective Lenders; provided that a Lender may, at its option, and if agreed by the Borrower, exchange such Lender’s portion of a Term Loan to be prepaid for Rollover Indebtedness, in lieu of such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such prepayment, pursuant to the last sentence of Subsection 4.4(g). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise,
shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made 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 Other Representatives, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office
specified in Subsection 11.2, in Dollars 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


  
 98 








 
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) 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 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 in accordance with Subsection 11.1(d) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and
priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new Tranches added pursuant to Subsections 2.8, 2.10 and 2.11, 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 Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate 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, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent
and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand from the Borrower; provided that the foregoing notice and recovery provisions
shall not apply to the funding of Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date. 
 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 in each case occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans as
contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such
circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall
no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest 

  
 99 








 
Periods with respect to such Affected 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 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 compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if
later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender): 
 (i) shall subject such Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to any Eurodollar Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar 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 net income, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch Taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch Taxes, imposed in lieu of
such net income Tax), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 
 (ii) shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 

(iii) shall impose on such 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, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, the Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurodollar Loans; provided that, in any such case, the
Borrower may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
discretion) notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Subsection 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 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 

  
 100 








 
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 Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 4.10(a), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Subsection
4.10(a) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or (ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is
applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. 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 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 any corporation controlling such 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 obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the
Borrower (through 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 corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation
thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b)
submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 4.10(b), the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or
(ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to
similarly situated borrowers. 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, 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, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or
any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes
herein. 

  
 101 








 4.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this Subsection 4.11 or as
required by law (which, for purposes of this Subsection 4.11 shall include FATCA), all payments made by the Borrower 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 the Borrower to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower 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 clause (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. 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 the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the 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 the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or the Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (b) Each Agent and each Lender that
is not a United States Person shall: 
 (i) (1) on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or
any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (A) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms 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 Forms 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 

  
 102 








 
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and
complete original signed forms or certifications 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 Borrower; 
 (3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and
completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; and 

(4) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to the Borrower 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, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;
provided that, in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (4), such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any Loan Party) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with
such request; or 
 (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”,

represent to the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent,

Forms 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

Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certificates 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 the 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 the Borrower, to the Borrower 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, or reduction of, 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 the Borrower) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such
request; or 
 (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,

to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY and, if any beneficiary or member of such Lender is claiming the
so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 
 (2) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (I) two accurate and complete original
signed Internal Revenue Service Forms 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), Forms W-8ECI or Forms 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 

  
 104 








 (3) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is claiming
the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrower 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 the Borrower or any Parent Entity within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue
Service Forms 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 under this Agreement and any Notes, and (III) also deliver to the Borrower 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; 

(4) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and 

(5) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to the Borrower 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, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this
Agreement and any Notes; provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (5) such Agent or Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower) which would be imposed
on such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request; 
 unless, in any such case (other than with respect to United States
backup withholding tax), 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 105 








 (c) Each Lender and each Agent, in each case that is a United States Person, shall, on or before
the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender or Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms 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. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is not a United States Person, on or before the date of any payment by the
Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall: 
 (i) deliver to the
Borrower (A) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, (B) two accurate
and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms 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 Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person
with respect to such payments (and the Borrower 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)) and
(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 the Borrower 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 Borrower two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certifications 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 Borrower; and 
 (iii)
obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; 

unless in any such case (other than with respect to United States backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Administrative Agent so advises the Borrower. 

(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, such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times


  
 106 








 
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their respective obligations (including any applicable reporting requirements) under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with
such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to withhold any Taxes imposed by FATCA. 

4.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the
Borrower, and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s bad faith, 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 the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or the conversion of Eurodollar 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 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 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 Borrower shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall 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 Term
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 Borrower, each Lender and Agent to which the Borrower 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 the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition 

  
 107 








 
of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless
the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender or Agent its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender or Agent for its reasonable attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender or Agent shall be required to
afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender or Agent 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 (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any
additional amount under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 
 (c) If
a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender or Agent by the Borrower pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 or result in
Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Subsection 4.9, such Lender or Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans and Commitments held by such Lender at another lending office, or
through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender or Agent shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would
require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender or Agent for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 

(d) If the Borrower 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 or if Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans are automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR
Loans, as the case may be, under Subsection 4.9 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for such conversion under Subsection 4.9, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such
obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an
aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or
(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed


  
 108 








 
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 Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any
additional amounts owing under Subsections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this Subsection 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment. In the case of
the substitution of a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.13(d), if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to
reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the
Borrower owing to such replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender and/or the Borrower to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on
behalf of such Lender. 
 (e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which the Borrower 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 the Borrower; provided, however, that the 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 Term Loans and all amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 109 








 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
other date thereafter on which an Extension of Credit is made, the 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 other date thereafter on which an Extension of Credit is made, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 5.1 Financial
Condition. (a) (i) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss),
shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower for the Fiscal Years ended September 27, 2013, September 28, 2012 and for the period from December 23, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and the related combined statements of
operations, comprehensive income (loss), parent company equity and cash flows for the period from September 25, 2010 to December 22, 2010, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from Deloitte & Touche LLP, and
(ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower for the Fiscal Quarter ended
December 27, 2013, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition as at such date, and the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated cash flows for the period then ended, of the Borrower. 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). 
 (b) As of the Closing Date, 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 would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) [Reserved]. 
 (d) The
Projections have been prepared by management of the 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 September 27, 2013, 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). As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, the Borrower, together with its 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, except (other than with respect to the Borrower), to the extent that the failure to be organized, existing and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) has 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 

  
 110 








 
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 the Borrower,
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
the Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of
the Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date,
(b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, and (c) 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 Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms, in each case 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, (b) will not result in, or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens securing the First Lien Loan Document Obligations or otherwise
permitted hereby) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation and (c) will not violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrower) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar
instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness; (ii) in the event that Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Subsection 8.1(b) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in
Subsection 8.1(b), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the clauses of Subsection 8.1(b) (including in part under one
such clause and in part under another such clause); provided that (if the Borrower shall so determine) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Subsection 8.1(b)(xiii) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of such
clause but shall be deemed Incurred for the purposes of Subsection 8.1(a) from and after the first date on which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Subsection 8.1(a) without reliance
on such clause; (iii) in the event that Indebtedness could be Incurred in part under Subsection 8.1(a), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify a portion of such Indebtedness as having been Incurred under Subsection
8.1(a) and the remainder of such Indebtedness as having been Incurred under Subsection 8.1(b); (iv) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of
the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; (v) the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any subclause of Subsection 8.1(b), including for purposes of any determination of the “Maximum
Incremental Facilities Amount”, shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness and (vi) if any Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance
Indebtedness initially Incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of Incurrence, and such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction to be
exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing
Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) Incurred or
payable in connection with 

  
 135 








 
such refinancing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower on the Closing Date under this Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall be
classified as Incurred under Subsection 8.1(b), and not under Subsection 8.1(a). 
 (d) For purposes of determining compliance
with any dollar denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving or deferred draw Indebtedness; provided that (x) the dollar equivalent
principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other
Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such dollar denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the
outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and
unpaid interest) Incurred or payable in connection with such refinancing and (z) the dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated based
on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Borrower’s option, (A) the Closing Date, (B) any date on which any of the respective commitments under this Agreement shall be reallocated between or among
facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or (C) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if
Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
refinancing. 
 8.2 Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Borrower is a

cash, to be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors) declared or made subsequent to the Closing Date and then outstanding would exceed,
without duplication, the sum of: 
 (A) 50.0% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one
accounting period) beginning on March 29, 2014 to the end of the most recent Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available (or, in case such
Consolidated Net Income shall be a negative number, 100.0% of such negative number); 
 (B) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds
and the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) of property or assets received (x) by the Borrower as capital contributions to the Borrower after the Closing Date or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted

Subsection 8.3(b), if a Person other than the Borrower is the Successor Borrower with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case
may be, by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Borrower; 

  
 141 








 (c) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (a “Refinancing

(b) or this Subsection 8.3(c) (an “Initial Agreement”) or that is, or is contained in, any amendment, supplement or other modification to an Initial Agreement or Refinancing Agreement (an
“Amendment”); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than encumbrances and
restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Borrower); 

(d) (i) pursuant to any agreement or instrument that restricts in a customary manner the assignment or transfer thereof,
or the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset subject thereto, (ii) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the Borrower or any

Restricted Subsidiary) as a Captive Insurance Subsidiary;

 142 








 
or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreements (as determined in good faith by the
Borrower), or (y) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Lenders than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and either (1) the Borrower
determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to create and maintain the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and make principal or
interest payments on the Loans or (2) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (ii) relating to any sale of receivables by

the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other agent, trustee or representative on their behalf may be party or bound at any time or from time to time, and any agreement providing that in the event that a Lien is granted for the benefit
of the Lenders another Person shall also receive a Lien, which Lien is permitted by Subsection 8.6; or 
 (i) any
agreement governing or relating to Indebtedness and/or other obligations and liabilities secured by a Lien permitted by Subsection 8.6 (in which case any restriction shall only be effective against the assets subject to such Lien, except as

 8.4 Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The
Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless: 
 (i) the Borrower
or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair
market value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition as such fair market value (on the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Disposition was entered into) may be determined (and shall be determined, to the extent such
Asset Disposition or any series of related Asset Dispositions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $40,000,000) in good faith by the Borrower, whose determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all noncash consideration);

 (ii) in the case of any Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) having a fair market value (on the
date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Disposition was entered into) of $40,000,000 or more, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor (excluding, in the case of an Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions), any
consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; and 

(iii) to the extent required by Subsection 8.4(b), an amount equal to 100.0% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset

Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows: 
 (i) first, either (x) if the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to the extent such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event is an Asset Disposition or Recovery Event in respect of assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, to purchase, redeem, repay or prepay, to
the extent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is required by the terms thereof, Indebtedness under the Senior ABL Facility or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments issued thereunder) cash
collateralize any such Indebtedness within the time period required by such Indebtedness after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, as the case may be, and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash or
(y) to the extent the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (by delivery of an officer’s certificate by a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent) to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment
in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to Net Available Cash received by the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, as the
case may be, and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash (such period the “Reinvestment Period”) or, if such investment in Additional Assets is a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such
365 days to complete and is subject to a binding written commitment entered into during the Reinvestment Period, an additional 180 days after the last day of the Reinvestment Period (it being understood and agreed that if no such investment is made
within the Reinvestment Period as extended by this clause (y), the Borrower shall make the prepayments required by Subsection 8.4(b)(ii) on the earlier to occur of (I) the last day of such Reinvestment Period as
extended by this clause (y) and (II) the date the Borrower elects not to pursue such investment);

second, (1) if no application of Net Available Cash election is made pursuant to preceding clause (i) with respect to such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event or (2) if such election is made to the extent of the
balance of such Net Available Cash or equivalent amount after application in accordance with Subsection 8.4(b)(i), within ten Business Days after the end of the Reinvestment Period specified in clause (i) above (as extended pursuant to

repurchase, or deliver a notice of redemption, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(e)(i) (subject to Subsection 4.4(h)) or the agreements or instruments governing the relevant Indebtedness described in clause (B) below (subject
to any provision under such agreement or instrument analogous to Subsection 4.4(h)), as applicable, (A) the Term Loans and (B) to 

  
 144 








 
the extent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is required by the terms thereof any Pari Passu Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans and (y) to the extent such
Asset Disposition is an Asset Disposition of assets that do not constitute Collateral, to purchase, redeem, repay, prepay, make an offer to prepay or repurchase, or deliver a notice of redemption, in accordance with Subsection 4.4(e)(i)
(subject to Subsection 4.4(h)) or the agreements or instruments governing any relevant Indebtedness permitted under Subsection 8.1 (subject to any provision under such agreement or instrument analogous to Subsection 4.4(h)), as

 provided,
however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment, purchase or redemption of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan
commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, purchased or redeemed; provided, further, that the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may elect to
invest in Additional Assets prior to receiving the Net Available Cash attributable to any given Asset Disposition (provided that, such investment shall be made no earlier than the earliest of notice of the relevant Asset Disposition to the
Administrative Agent, execution of a definitive agreement for the relevant Asset Disposition, and consummation of the relevant Asset Disposition) and deem the amount so invested to be applied pursuant to and in accordance with Subsection
8.4(b)(i) above with respect to such Asset Disposition. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 8.4,
the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this Subsection 8.4 except to the extent that (x) the aggregate Net Available Cash from all
Asset Dispositions and Recovery Events in respect of Collateral or equivalent amount that is not applied in accordance with this Subsection 8.4 exceeds $20,000,000, in which case the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall apply all such Net
Available Cash from such Asset Dispositions and Recovery Events or equivalent amount in accordance with Subsection 8.4(b) or (y) the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness would require Net Available Cash or the equivalent amount
from such Asset Dispositions and Recovery Events to be applied to purchase, redeem, repay or prepay such Indebtedness prior to reaching such $20,000,000 threshold. 

(d) For the purposes of Subsection 8.4(a)(ii), the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Temporary Cash Investments and Cash
Equivalents, (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock of the Borrower) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of
the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset 

  
 145 








 
Disposition, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Borrower and each
other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (4) securities received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the
transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days, (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets, and
(7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration
received pursuant to this clause (7), not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $50,000,000 and 4.00% of Consolidated Total Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration
being measured on the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Disposition (or, if later, for the payment of such item) was entered into and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). 

8.5 Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Borrower (an
“Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15,000,000 unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $30,000,000 the terms of such
Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Subsection 8.5(a), any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in this Subsection
8.5(a) if (x) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (y) in the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a nationally recognized
appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

 8.6 Limitation on Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of any other Person), whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, securing
any Indebtedness (the “Initial Lien”) unless, in the case of Initial Liens on any asset or property other than Collateral, the First Lien Loan Document Obligations are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in
the case such Initial Lien secures any Junior Debt) the obligations secured by such Initial Lien for so long as such obligations are so secured. Any such Lien created in favor of the First Lien Loan Document Obligations pursuant to the preceding
sentence requiring an equal and ratable (or senior, as applicable) Lien for the benefit of the First Lien Loan Document Obligations will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the release and discharge of

assume all the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to which it is a party by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder or one or more other documents or instruments in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any
Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no
Default will have occurred and be continuing; 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either
(A) the Borrower (or, if applicable, the Successor Borrower with respect thereto) could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Subsection 8.1(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the
Borrower (or, if applicable, the Successor Borrower with respect thereto) would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction;

Collateral under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in connection with such transaction and (y) any party to any such consolidation or merger) shall have by a supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or another document
or instrument affirmed that its obligations thereunder shall apply to its Guarantee as reaffirmed pursuant to clause (iv) above; 

(vi) each mortgagor of a Mortgaged Fee Property (other than (x) any Subsidiary that will be released from its grant
or pledge of Collateral under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in connection with such transaction and (y) any party to any such consolidation or merger) shall have affirmed that its obligations under the applicable Mortgage shall
apply to its Guarantee as reaffirmed pursuant to clause (iv); and 
 (vii) the Borrower will have delivered to the
Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer and a legal opinion, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions described in this Subsection 8.7(a); provided that

legal 

  
 149 








 
structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower so long as all assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to
such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof. Subsection 8.7(a) will not apply to any transaction
in which any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Borrower.

(a) In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, repurchase or repay any Indebtedness then outstanding pursuant to
any Junior Debt or any portion thereof, unless the Borrower shall have, at its option, (i) made payment in full of the Term Loans and any other amounts then due and owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any
Note or (ii) made an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to pay the Term Loans and any amounts then due and owing to each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any Note and shall have made payment in
full thereof to each such Lender or the Administrative Agent which has accepted such offer. Upon the Borrower making payment in full of the Loans as provided in clause (i) of this Subsection 8.8(a), or making a Change of Control Offer in

shorter weighted average life to maturity than the weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loans at such time and (2) if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or (f) is continuing, amend,
supplement, waive or otherwise modify any of the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement evidencing Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations in a manner that (i) changes the subordination provisions of
such Indebtedness or (ii) shortens the maturity date of such Indebtedness to a date prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or provides for a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to
maturity of the Initial Term Loans; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Subsection 8.8(b) shall not restrict or prohibit any refinancing of Indebtedness (in whole or in part) permitted pursuant to
Subsection 8.1.

any Additional Obligations or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the foregoing or any indenture or agreement pursuant to which such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, Additional Obligations or Refinancing Indebtedness have been issued or
incurred in any manner inconsistent with the requirements of the definition of “Refinancing Indebtedness”, assuming for purposes of this Subsection 8.8(c) that such amendment, supplement, waiver or modification, mutatis
mutandis, is a refinancing of such Additional Obligations, Permitted Debt Exchange Notes or Refinancing Indebtedness, as applicable.

and such failure of such Lien to be perfected and enforceable with such priority shall have continued unremedied for a period of 20 days; or 

  
 153 








 (j) Any Loan Party shall assert in writing that any of the ABL/Term Loan
Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Priority Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (after execution and delivery thereof) or any Other Intercreditor Agreement (after execution and delivery thereof) shall have
ceased for any reason to be in full force and effect (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof) or shall knowingly contest, or knowingly support any other Person in any action that seeks to contest, the validity or effectiveness of any
such intercreditor agreement (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof); or 
 (k) Subject to the Borrower’s
option to make a payment in full of all of the Term Loans, or to make a Change of Control Offer, each in accordance with Subsection 8.8(a) (whether or not in connection with any repayment or repurchase of Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to
any Junior Debt), a Change of Control shall have occurred. 
 9.2 Remedies Upon an Event of Default. (a) If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Subsection 9.1(f) with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Loans
hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, 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, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement to be due
and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. 
 (b) Except as expressly provided above in this
Section 9, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived. 

SECTION 10 
 The Agents and the
Other Representatives 
 10.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the
agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such 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 and the Collateral Agent, 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. 

  
 154 








 (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 and the 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 Section 10 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 for Subsections 10.5, 10.8(a), (b),
(c) and (e) and (to the extent of the Borrower’s rights thereunder and the conditions included therein) 10.9, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders,
and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 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 Borrower 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. In performing
its functions and duties under this Agreement, (a) each Agent shall act solely as an agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and (b) no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed
any) relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral
Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel
selected by it with reasonable care. 
 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;


  
 155 








 (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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as
such Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity. 
 (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 9.2 or Subsection 11.1, as applicable) or (y) in the absence of its own bad faith, 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 the Borrower or a Lender. In the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or wilfull misconduct, no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Borrower, the Guarantors or the
Lenders for monitoring the list or entities of, or enforcing the provisions related to, Disqualified Parties. 
 (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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien
purported to be created by the Security Documents 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 as 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 Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. 

  
 156 








 10.5 Acknowledgement and Representations by Lenders. Each 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender further represents and
warrants to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties 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 represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon 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, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any
action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither 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 (other than, in the case of
clause (i), an Affiliated Lender, any Parent Entity (other than Holdings) or any Unrestricted Subsidiary) represents to each other party hereto that (i) 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 and that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes and
(ii) it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Subsection 11.6 applicable to
the Lenders hereunder. 
 10.6 Indemnity; Reimbursement by Lenders. (a) To the extent that the 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), or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the
foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably according to their respective Term Credit Percentages on the date on which the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought under this Subsection 10.6 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 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) or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or against any Related Party of any of
the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Subsection 10.6 are subject to the
provisions of Subsection 4.8. 

  
 157 








 (b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and
under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and
expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 (c) All amounts due under this Subsection
10.6 shall be payable not later than three 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. 

(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 Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding
the instructions of the Required 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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. 

  
 158 








 10.8 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Priority Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other
Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (y) any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents, the
ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Priority Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreements in connection with the incurrence by
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Additional Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be
designated by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) and (z) any Incremental Commitment Amendment as provided in Subsection 2.8, any Increase Supplement as provided in
Subsection 2.8, any Lender Joinder Agreement as provided in Subsection 2.8, any agreement required in connection with a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer pursuant to Subsection 2.9, any Extension Amendment as provided in
Subsection 2.10 and any Specified Refinancing Amendment as provided in Subsection 2.11. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth
herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Priority Collateral
Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, any Incremental Commitment Amendment, any Increase Supplement, any Lender Joinder Agreement or any agreement
required in connection with a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer or any Extension Amendment or any Specified Refinancing Amendment 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. The Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal
opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee by any Subsidiary (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the
Closing Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Security Documents. 

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize each Agent, in each case at its option and in its discretion, (A) 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 First Lien Loan 

  
 159 








 
Document 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 that are then 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) owned by any Subsidiary Guarantor which becomes an Excluded
Subsidiary or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or constituting Capital Stock or other equity interests of an Excluded Subsidiary, (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
greater amount, to the extent required by Subsection 11.1) or (v) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents, (B) at the written request of the Borrower to subordinate any Lien on any
Excluded Assets or any other property granted to or held by such Agent, as the case may be under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien (other than Permitted Liens securing the Obligations under the Loan Documents or that are required
by the express terms of this Agreement to be pari passu with or junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Loan Document Obligations pursuant to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, Term Loan Priority Intercreditor
Agreement, a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or an Other Intercreditor Agreement), (C) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Obligations under any Loan Documents to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and (D) to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any ABL Priority Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor
Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement 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 Required 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, the Borrower 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 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 as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. 

  
 160 








 (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended
(or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by and in accordance with either Subsection 11.1 or 11.17, as applicable, with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party
party thereto. 
 (f) 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 or the
Collateral Agent may be removed by the Borrower or the Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a controlling affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, in each case upon ten days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, as applicable. If the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be removed by the Borrower or the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above or if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or 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 Borrower;
provided that such approval by the 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 (f) has occurred and is
continuing; provided further, that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least
$5,000,000,000. Upon the successful appointment of a successor agent, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative
Agent” or “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 or 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. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the
provisions of this Section 10 (including this Subsection 10.9) 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. The fees payable
by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 

10.10 [Reserved]. 
 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 

  
 161 








 
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 by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under 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 and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other First Lien Loan Document 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 its 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 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Bankruptcy Proceeding or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Borrower) is hereby authorized by the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Subsections 4.5 and 11.5) allowed in
such judicial proceeding; 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any
amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Subsections 4.5 and 11.5. 

  
 162 








 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 ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Priority Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Intercreditor Agreement
or any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on account of amounts then due and
outstanding under any of the Loan Documents (the “Collection Amounts”) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows: first, 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 and the 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), second, 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 in connection with enforcing such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, third, to pay interest on Loans then
outstanding; fourth, to pay principal of Loans then outstanding and obligations under Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements, Bank Products Agreements and Management Guarantees permitted hereunder and secured by
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause “fourth” payable to them, and fifth, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may
be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “third” or “fourth” above are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall
be allocated pro rata among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in the applicable clause at such time. This Subsection 10.14 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably 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
2.8, 2.10 and 2.11, as applicable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets and such Excluded Obligations shall be disregarded in any application of Collection Amounts pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. 
 SECTION 11 

Miscellaneous 
 11.1
Amendments and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 11.1.
The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from 

  
 163 








 
time to time, (x) enter into with the respective Loan Parties hereto or thereto, as the case may be, written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan
Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or to the other Loan Documents or changing, in any manner the rights or obligations of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (y) waive at any Loan
Party’s request, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event
of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that amendments pursuant to Subsections 11.1 (d) and (f) may be effected without the consent of the Required Lenders to the extent provided therein;

 (i)
(A) reduce or forgive the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or of any scheduled installment thereof (including extending any Maturity Date), (B) reduce the stated rate of any interest, commission or fee
payable hereunder (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), (C) extend the scheduled date of any payment of any Lenders’ Loans, or (D) change the currency
in which any Loan is payable, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that amendments to, or waivers or modifications of any conditions precedent, representations, warranties,
covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory repayment of the Loans of all Lenders shall not constitute an extension of the scheduled date of maturity, any scheduled installment, or the scheduled date of payment of the Loans of any
Lender); 
 (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Subsection 11.1(a) or reduce the percentage specified in
the definition of “Required Lenders,” or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than pursuant to Subsection 8.7 or
11.6(a)), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders; 
 (iii) release Guarantors accounting for all
or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee of the First Lien Loan Document Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or, in the aggregate (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), all or

execution and delivery thereof in accordance with the terms hereof); 
 (iv) require any Lender to make Loans having an
Interest Period of longer than six months or shorter than one month without the consent of such Lender; 
 (v) amend, modify
or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of the then Agents; or 
 (vi) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Subsection 10.1(a), 10.4 or 10.12 without the written consent of any Other Representative directly and adversely affected thereby; 

  
 164 








 provided further that, notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, and in addition to Liens
on the Collateral that the Collateral Agent is authorized to release pursuant to Subsection 10.8(b), the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $25,000,000 in any
Fiscal Year without the consent of any Lender. 
 (b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this
Subsection 11.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall
be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (i) to cure
any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect, or inconsistency with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (ii) in accordance with Subsection 2.8 to incorporate the terms of any Incremental Commitments (including to
add a new revolving facility or letter of credit facility under this Agreement with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Letter of Credit Commitment) with the written consent of the Borrower and Lenders providing such
Incremental Commitments, (iii) in accordance with Subsection 2.10 to effectuate an Extension with the written consent of the Borrower and the Extending Lenders, (iv) in accordance with Subsection 2.11 to
incorporate the terms of any Specified Refinancing Facilities with the consent of the Borrower and the applicable Specified Refinancing Lenders, (v) in accordance with Subsection 7.12, to change the financial reporting convention
and (vi) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in the event any mandatory prepayment or redemption provision in respect of the Net Cash
Proceeds of Asset Dispositions or Recovery Events or from Excess Cash Flow included or to be included in any Incremental Commitment Amendment or any Indebtedness constituting Additional Obligations or that would constitute Additional Obligations
would result in Incremental Term Loans or Additional Obligations, as applicable, being prepaid or redeemed on a more than ratable basis with the Term Loans in respect of the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event or
Excess Cash Flow prepayment to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are required to be applied to repay Term Loans hereunder pursuant to Subsection 4.4(e), to provide for mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans
such that, after giving effect thereto, the prepayments made in respect of such Incremental Term Loans or Additional Obligations, as applicable, are not on more than a ratable basis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any provision of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Subsection 4.4, 4.8 or 10.14 hereof, may be amended as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence pursuant to any Incremental Commitment Amendment, any Extension
Amendment or any Specified Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be, to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between any Tranches, including the Term Loans, any Incremental Commitments or Incremental Loans,
any Extended Term Tranche and any Specified Refinancing Tranche, or to provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of the Lenders of any Extended Tranche, Specified Refinancing Tranche, Incremental 

  
 165 








 
Commitments or Incremental Loans in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees (if requested by the
Borrower) to execute any amendment referred to in this clause (d) or an acknowledgement thereof. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended (or deemed amended) or amended and restated with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with
the existing Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each
Facility hereunder and (z) to provide class protection for any additional credit facilities. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any
provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by Subsection 11.17 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan
Party party thereto. 
 (g) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of
this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by Subsection 11.1(a), the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender,
(A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Subsection 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in
such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender;
provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations
of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans, Commitments and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at its option, by the Borrower) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with
such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or (f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, prepay the Loans and, if
applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty. In connection with 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 by the later of (a) the date on which the
replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans, Commitments
and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender 

  
 166 








 
to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and
the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the
Register. 
 11.2 Notices. (a) All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall

Indemnitee)) arising out of or relating to any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing
relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans, or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower or any of its 

  
 169 








 
Restricted Subsidiaries or any of the property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Lead Arranger, any Other Representative, any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Lender (or any Related Party of any such Lead Arranger,
Other Representative, Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or Lender) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lead Arranger, Other Representative, Agent (or any

involve claims against any Lead Arranger or Agent in its capacity as such. Neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this
sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity or reimbursement obligations under this Subsection 11.5 to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which
such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. All amounts due under this Subsection 11.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to

fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements in this Subsection 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

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, except that (i) other than in accordance with Subsection 8.7, the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Subsection 2.10(e), Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 11.1(g) or this Subsection 11.6. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Subsection 11.6(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 Party or any natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (x) of Term
Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund (as defined below); provided, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its Affiliates in connection with or in
contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such Affiliate, the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment, and, (y) if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or
(f) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, to any other Person; and 
 (B) the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

  
 170 








 (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 be in an amount of an integral multiple of not less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that
(1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or (f) with respect to the Borrower 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 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case); provided that for concurrent
assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; 

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

(D) any assignment of Incremental Commitments or Loans to an Affiliated Lender shall also be subject to the requirements of
Subsections 11.6(h) and (i); and 
 (E) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon acquisition thereof. 

  
 171 








 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 Party and any such assignment shall be void ab initio, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing (in which case such Lender will not be
considered a Disqualified Party solely for that particular assignment). 
 (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 related
obligations under) Subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 11.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under Subsection 11.16 and, in the case of each Reference Bank, Subsection 4.6(c)). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Subsection 2.10(e), Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 11.1(g) or this Subsection 11.6 shall, to the extent
it would comply with Subsection 11.6(c), 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 (and any
attempted assignment, transfer or participation which does not comply with this Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void). 

(iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the
Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Subsection 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 owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower (and, solely with respect to entries applicable to such Lender, any Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any assignment by a Lender to a Disqualified Party shall be deemed null and void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment, and the Borrower shall be entitled to
pursue any remedy available to them (whether at law or in equity, including specific performance to unwind such assignment) against the Lender and such 

  
 172 








 
Disqualified Party. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term Loans or
Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly (and in any case, not less than 5 Business Days (or shorter period as
agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1) provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower’s knowledge, all Affiliated
Lenders holding Loans or Commitments at the time of such notice and (ii) not less than five Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or
waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1, provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower’s knowledge, all Affiliated Debt Funds holding Loans or Commitments at the time of such notice. 

(v) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for itself and, solely for this purpose, as an agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Commitments 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 (x) 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 or (y) for the Borrower to enforce its rights hereunder. 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 (unless such assignment is
being made in accordance with Subsection 2.10(d), Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 11.1(g) or Subsection 11.6(f), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by the
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 this Subsection 11.6(b) and any written
consent to such assignment required by this Subsection 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and
recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (vi). 

  
 173 








 (vii) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this
Subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender to the Administrative Agent any outstanding Notes held by it evidencing the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender
shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.” 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the 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, Incremental Commitments and Initial Term Loan Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent and the 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 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 Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use
of the Settlement Service at any time upon 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, 4.12 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 (f) has occurred and is continuing
or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment. 

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable
law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Party or a natural person) 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 Initial Term Loan Commitments, Incremental 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, (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and 

  
 174 








 
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (E) in the case of any participation to a Permitted Affiliated Assignee, such
participation shall be governed by the provisions of Subsection 11.6(h)(ii) to the same extent as if each reference therein to an assignment of a Loan were to a participation of a Loan and the references to Affiliated Lender were to such
Permitted Affiliated Assignee in its capacity as a participant. 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,
supplement, 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, supplement, modification or waiver that
(1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the second proviso to the second sentence of Subsection 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Subsection
11.6(c)(ii), the 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 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b). 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 or, to the extent that such Person was a Disqualified Party at the
time such participation was sold, maintain a participation under this Agreement to or with any Disqualified Party and any participation sold to a Person that is a Disqualified Party or was a Disqualified Party at the time such participation was sold
shall be void ab initio, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such participation in writing (in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Party solely for that particular participation). Any attempted
participation which does not comply with Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void. 
 (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 Borrower and the 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 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 or central bank of a member state of the European Union, 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. 

  
 175 








 (e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant
shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be
entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation
is otherwise in accordance with applicable law. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans
it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Subsection 11.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative
Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under
any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating
any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of
forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations
of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the
Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 

(g) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans under any 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’ (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of
prepaying the Loans to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans 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 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 by the Borrower), 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 under such Facility
pursuant to the terms of the form of the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register 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. 

  
 176 








 (h) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender
may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans or Commitments to any Parent Entity, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) any Parent Entity, the
Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary
procedures to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction); provided that (A) any such Dutch auction by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall be made in accordance
with Subsection 4.4(l) and (B) any such Dutch auction by any Parent Entity shall be made on terms substantially similar to Subsection 4.4(l) or on other terms to be agreed between such Parent Entity and the Administrative
Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (2) open market purchases; provided further that: 

(1) such Affiliated Lender and such other Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register; 

(2) at the time of such assignment after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans
held (or participated in) by Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement; and 

(3) any such Term Loans acquired by (x) Holdings, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired or
cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof and (y) an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, be contributed to the Borrower, whether through a Parent Entity or otherwise, and exchanged for debt or equity securities
of the Borrower or such Parent Entity that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, so long as any Term Loans so acquired by the Borrower shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition
thereof. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated
Debt Fund shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited,
(B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been
made available to the Borrower or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Subsection 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the
contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required 

  
 177 








 
Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom,
(B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan
Document, an Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not such
Affiliated Lenders; provided that, (I) to the extent Lenders are being compensated by the Borrower for consenting to an amendment, modification, waiver or any other action, each Affiliated Lender who has been deemed to have voted
its Loans in accordance with this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) shall be entitled to be compensated on the same basis as each consenting Lender as if it had voted all of its Loans in favor of the applicable amendment, modification, waiver or other
action); and (II) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any Loan Document shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its ratable share of any payments of Loans of any class to which such Affiliated Lender is
entitled under the Loan Documents without such Affiliated Lender providing its consent; provided, further, that such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to approve any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that
(x) disproportionately and adversely affects such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender or affects such Affiliated Lender differently in its capacity as a Lender than other Lenders or (y) is of the type described in
Subsections 11.1(a)(i) through (iv); and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) the Affiliated Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent
to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii); provided that if the Affiliated Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way
prejudice any of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) and (y) the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such appointment being coupled with an interest) by such Affiliated Lender as such
Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to
execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii). 

(iv) Each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, and each
Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption agreement shall provide a confirmation that, if any of Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
liquidation proceeding (each, a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), (i) such Affiliated Lender shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking
of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent) in relation to such Affiliated Lender’s claim with respect to its Term Loans (“Claim”)
(including objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender is treated in
connection with such exercise or action on the same 

  
 178 








 
or better terms as the other Lenders and (ii) (with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including voting on any plan of
reorganization), the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender (and any Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted in accordance with Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) above so long as such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender is
treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund agree and acknowledge
that the provisions set forth in this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv) and the related provisions set forth in each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and
utilized in, Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, it is their intention that this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv) would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary has filed for protection under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors applicable to Holdings, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable. Each Affiliated Lender that is not an
Affiliated Debt Fund hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and
in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Loans, Commitments and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iv). 

(v) Each Lender making an assignment to, or taking an assignment from, an Affiliated Lender acknowledges and agrees that in
connection with such assignment, (1) such Affiliated Lender then may have, and later may come into possession of Excluded Information, (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Affiliated Lender, Holdings, the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, has made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded
Information and (3) none of Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted
by law, any claims such Lender may have against Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.
Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Subsection 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders”
(x) with respect to any assignment or participation to or by an Affiliated Debt Fund, such assignment or participation shall be made pursuant to an open market purchase and (y) for purposes of determining whether the Required
Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any


  
 179 








 
Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any
Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by Affiliated Debt Funds may not account for more than 50.0% of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Subsection 11.1. 
 (j) Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.6, nothing in this Subsection 11.6 is intended to or should be construed to limit the Borrower’s right to prepay the Loans as provided hereunder, including under Subsection 4.4. 

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 Loans, 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 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 4.4, 4.5(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 11.1(g) 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 Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest
(by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause
such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered
from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

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

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 any other jurisdiction 

  
 180 








 
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 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 City 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 facsimile and other electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute
one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

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

the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court,” and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”) and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) 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 First Lien Loan Document Obligations (in
which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Subsection 11.13 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a
judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment,
(iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may
be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iv) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any
collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Subsection 11.13(a) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal
proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding; 
 (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

address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and the Borrower shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d)
agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or (subject to clause (a) above) shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

proceeding referred to in this Subsection 11.13 any consequential or punitive damages.

supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document (including but not limited to any Mortgages and UCC fixture filings), and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably
deemed by the Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Incremental Indebtedness, Specified Refinancing Indebtedness or 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 the Borrower that pursuant to
the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act, and the Borrower agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

 11.19 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. 
 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 Borrower 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 Borrower hereunder
shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Post-Closing Collateral Requirements 

Each Loan Party that owns one or more real properties listed on Schedule 5.8 shall obtain or deliver to Administrative
Agent, as applicable, within 120 days after the Closing Date (unless waived or extended by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), to the extent such requirement has not been waived by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the following
with respect to each such listed property owned by it:

of such Loan Party; 
 (ii) a customary legal opinion executed by local counsel from the jurisdiction in which such property
is located, with respect to local law enforceability of the Mortgage; 
 (iii) an irrevocable written commitment to issue a
mortgagee’s title policy or marked up unconditional binder for such insurance dated as of the date the applicable Mortgage is recorded. Each such policy shall (a) be in the amount of 100% of fair market value (as determined by the Borrower
in good faith whose determination shall be conclusive) of such property; (b) insure that the Mortgage insured thereby creates a valid Lien on such properties encumbered thereby free and clear of all defects and encumbrances, except as may be

as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates. The Collateral Agent shall have received evidence that all premiums in respect of each such policy, and all charges for mortgage recording
tax, if any, have been paid; 
 (iv) new ALTA surveys (or existing surveys together with affidavits of no-change to the title
insurance company in lieu thereof) in such form as is sufficient to cause the title insurance company to delete the standard “survey exception” from, and to issue survey related endorsements to, the title insurance policies delivered with
respect to such property; 
 (v) a completed “Life-of-Loan” Federal Emergency Management standard flood hazard
determination with respect to such Mortgaged Fee Property, and, to the extent such flood hazard determination indicates that such Mortgaged Fee Property is located in a special flood hazard area: (a) a notice about special flood hazard area
status and flood disaster assistance duly executed by the Borrower, and (b) evidence of flood insurance as set forth in Section 7.5(b)(i).

of the Secured Parties and the Grantee’s successors and assigns to secure the Obligations and other obligations herein recited; provided that, upon (i) the Obligations Satisfaction Date
(as defined below) or (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement for the release of this Mortgage in accordance with the terms thereof, the lien and security interest of this Mortgage shall cease, terminate and be

And, as additional security for said Obligations, subject to the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as applicable,
the Grantor hereby unconditionally assigns to the Grantee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all the security deposits, rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Premises from time to time accruing (the “Rents and Profits”), which
assignment constitutes a present, absolute and unconditional assignment and not an assignment for additional security only, reserving only to the Grantor a license to collect and apply the same as the Grantor chooses as long as no Event of Default
(as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing. Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the
Obligations or solvency of the Grantor, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall automatically cease and terminate without any notice by the Grantee (such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Grantor to the extent
permitted by applicable law), or any action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.

collateral and further security for the Obligations, subject to the Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as applicable, the Grantor does hereby assign by way of security and grants to the Grantee, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the right, title and the interest of the Grantor in and to any and all real property leases and rental agreements (collectively, the “Leases”) with respect to the Premises or any part thereof,
and the Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to the Grantee such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Grantee, as may hereafter be requested by the Grantee to evidence and confirm said assignment; provided,
however, that acceptance of any such assignment shall not be construed to impose upon the Grantee any obligation or liability with respect thereto. 

The Grantor covenants, represents and agrees as follows:

case law or regulation having a contrary effect.

the Grantee or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Grantor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Grantee or any other Secured Party for any
act or omission on the part of the Grantor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Grantor contained in this Mortgage or any other Loan Document, or under or in respect of the Premises or made in

continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the terms of each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Grantee shall be entitled, without additional notice and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations secured hereby,

issues, profits, and income thereof, all expenses of which shall be added to the Obligations and secured hereby. The receiver shall have all the rights and powers provided for under the laws of the state in which the Premises are located, including
without limitation, the power to execute leases, and the power to collect the rents, sales proceeds, issues, profits and proceeds of the Premises during the pendency of such foreclosure suit, as well as during any further times when the Grantor, its
successors or assigns, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collect such rents, sales proceeds, issues, proceeds and profits, and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection,
possession, control, management and operation of the Premises during the whole of said period. Receiver’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the appointment of a receiver pursuant to this

control of any cash or other instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Mortgage to the Grantee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

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

 5.5 Marshalling. The Grantor hereby waives, in the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage
or the enforcement by the Grantee of any other rights and remedies hereunder, any right otherwise available in respect to marshalling of assets which secure any Loan and any other indebtedness secured hereby or to require the Grantee to pursue its
remedies against any other such assets. 
 5.6 Protection of Premises. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Grantee may take such actions, including, but not limited to disbursements of such sums, as the Grantee in its sole but reasonable discretion deems necessary to protect the Grantee’s interest in the Premises.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 

Date: April 9, 2014 
 To the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below: 
 I, the undersigned, the Chief Financial
Officer of ATKORE INTERNATIONAL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon
(i) facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof) and (ii) such materials and information as I have deemed
relevant to the determination of the matters set forth in this certificate, that: 
 1. This certificate is furnished to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.1(n) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2014, among the Borrower, the several banks and financial institutions from time to time party thereto and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK
BRANCH, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 

2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions: 

(a) “Fair Value” 
 The
amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time,
each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act. 
 (b) “Present Fair Salable
Value” 
 The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

 (c) “Stated Liabilities” 

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. 

(d) “Identified Contingent Liabilities” 







 EXHIBIT H 

to 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 

 Page 2 
  

 The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending
litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions (including all fees and expenses related thereto
but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as and to the extent identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Borrower. 

(e) “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature” 

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets
and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent liabilities) otherwise become payable. 

(f) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital” 

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the
Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. 
 3. For
purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below. 

(a) I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Subsection 5.1 of the Credit
Agreement. 
 (b) I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement. 

(c) As Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the
Transactions, it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value and Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities;
(ii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified
Contingent Liabilities as they mature.

commence or given notice of its intent to commence) the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral (including seeking relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in
any Insolvency Proceeding) and, in each case, such Junior Priority Agent has notice thereof, and 
 (ii) will not knowingly
take, receive or accept any Proceeds of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the temporary deposit of Proceeds of Collateral in a Deposit Account controlled by the Junior Priority Representative shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly remitted to the Senior Priority Representative. 
 From and after the Discharge of Senior
Priority Obligations (or prior thereto upon obtaining the written consent of each Senior Priority Agent), any Junior Priority Agent and any Junior Priority Creditor may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the Junior Priority Documents or
applicable law as to any Collateral; provided, however, that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral by any Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor is at all times subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.1. 
 (b) Each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any
Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that such Senior Priority Agent and such Senior Priority Creditors will not (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among all Senior Priority Agents, in each
case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby) Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies (or institute or join in any action or proceeding with respect to the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies) with respect to any
of the Collateral without the written consent of the Senior Priority Representative and will not knowingly take, receive or accept any Proceeds of Collateral (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among all Senior
Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby), it being understood and agreed that the temporary deposit of Proceeds of Collateral in a Deposit Account controlled by such Senior Priority
Agent shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly remitted to the Senior Priority Representative; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit any Senior Priority Agent from taking such
actions in its capacity as Senior Priority Representative, if applicable. The Senior Priority Representative may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the Senior Priority Documents or applicable law as to any Collateral; provided,
however, that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral by the Senior Priority Representative is at all times subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 4.1 hereof) and of the
Base Intercreditor Agreement 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Secured Party of the required payments of
interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations or Junior Priority Obligations, as the case may be, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Secured Party of rights
or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by it. 

Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights. 

(a) No Other Restrictions . Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Agent and each Creditor shall have any and all rights

such Parties and the Creditors represented thereby); provided, however, that the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be subject to the Lien Priority and to the provisions of this Agreement,
including Section 4.1. Each Senior Priority Agent may enforce the provisions of the 

  
 J-26 








 
applicable Senior Priority Documents, each Junior Priority Agent may enforce the provisions of the applicable Junior Priority Documents, and each Agent may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies,
all in such order and in such manner as each may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and mandatory provisions of applicable law (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and
between or among any applicable Parties, solely as among such Parties and the Creditors represented thereby); provided, however, that each Agent agrees to provide to each other such Party copies of any notices that it is required under
applicable law to deliver to any Credit Party; provided, further, however, that any Senior Priority Agent’s failure to provide any such copies to any other such Party shall not impair any Senior Priority Agent’s rights
hereunder or under any of the applicable Senior Priority Documents, and any Junior Priority Agent’s failure to provide any such copies to any other such Party shall not impair any Junior Priority Agent’s rights hereunder or under any of
the applicable Junior Priority Documents. Each Agent agrees for and on behalf of itself and each Creditor represented thereby that such Agent and each such Creditor will not institute or join in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding or
assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim, (x) in the case of any Junior Priority Agent and any Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby, against any Senior Priority Secured Party, and (y) in
the case of any Senior Priority Agent and any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby, against any Junior Priority Secured Party, seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to
any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person with respect to the Collateral that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and none of such Persons shall be liable for any such action taken or omitted to be taken. Except as may be
separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, each Senior Priority Agent agrees for and on behalf of any Senior
Priority Creditors represented thereby that such Agent and each such Creditor will not institute or join in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any
other Senior Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person with respect to the Collateral that is
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and none of such Persons shall be liable for any such action taken or omitted to be taken. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any Junior Priority Agents, in
each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, each Junior Priority Agent agrees for and on behalf of any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby that such Agent and each such Creditor will not institute
or join in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any other Junior Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific

action taken or omitted to be taken. 
 (b) Release of Liens by Junior Secured Parties. Without limiting any release provided for
under the Base Intercreditor Agreement, in the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the Senior Priority
Representative, (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the Senior Priority Documents, (C) the release of
the Senior Priority Secured Parties’ Liens on all or any portion of the Collateral, which release under this clause (C) shall have been approved by the requisite Senior Priority Secured Parties (as determined pursuant to the
applicable Senior Priority Documents), in the case of clause (B) and clause (C) only to the extent occurring prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations and not in connection with a Discharge of Senior Priority
Obligations (and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred), or (D) upon the termination and discharge of a subsidiary guarantee in accordance with the terms thereof, each Junior Priority Agent agrees, for and on behalf of 

  
 J-27 








 
itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, that (x) so long as, if applicable, the net cash proceeds of any such sale, if any, described in clause
(A) above are applied as provided in Section 4.1 of the Base Intercreditor Agreement as supplemented by Section 4.1 hereof, and there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the Senior Priority Obligations, such
sale, transfer, disposition or release will be free and clear of the Liens on such Collateral securing the Junior Priority Obligations and (y) such Junior Priority Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to the Collateral so sold,
transferred, disposed or released shall terminate and be automatically released without further action. In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, each Junior Priority Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other
documents reasonably requested by any Senior Priority Agent in connection therewith, so long as the net cash proceeds, if any, from such sale described in clause (A) above of such Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. Each Junior Priority Agent hereby appoints the Senior Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Senior Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of such Junior Priority Agent and in the name of such Junior Priority Agent or in the Senior Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Priority
Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable). 
 Section 2.5 [Reserved] 

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

(a) Revolving Nature of Certain Obligations. Each Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Creditors represented thereby, expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (i) any Credit Facility may include a revolving commitment and that in the ordinary course of business the applicable Agents and/or Creditors may apply payments and make advances thereunder;
(ii) the amount of the applicable Obligations in respect thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of such Obligations may be modified,
extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of such Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by any other Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof;
provided, however, that from and after the date on which any Agent or Creditor commences the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by such Agent or such Creditor as a result of such Exercise of Secured Creditor
Remedies shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1. The Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal,
restatement or refinancing of the Original Senior Lien Obligations, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2
Lien Obligations, or any Additional Obligations, or any portion thereof. 
 (b) Application of Proceeds of Collateral. This Agreement
constitutes a separate agreement in writing as contemplated by clauses 4.1(c) third and 4.1(d) second of the Base Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any proceeds of Collateral to be allocated under such clauses of the Base
Intercreditor Agreement will be allocated first to the Senior Priority Obligations in accordance with the Base Intercreditor Agreement until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, and then only after such Discharge of Senior Priority
Obligations to the Junior Priority Obligations, and each Junior Priority Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, that after the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations the remaining proceeds
of Collateral shall be applied as follows, 
 first, to the payment of costs and expenses of each Junior Priority
Agent, as applicable, 

  
 J-30 








 second, to the payment of Junior Priority Obligations in accordance with
the Junior Priority Documents until the Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations shall have occurred, and 
 third,
the balance, if any, to the Credit Parties or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

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

Borrower[, the [        ] Senior Lien Borrower] or as the Junior Priority Representative may reasonably request to enable the Junior Priority Representative to have control over any Cash Collateral or Control
Collateral still in such Senior Priority Agent’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. As between any Junior Priority Agent and
any other Junior Priority Agent, any such Cash Collateral or Control Collateral held by any such Party shall be held by it subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.2. 

(e) Impairment of Senior Priority Debt. Each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors
represented by it, hereby acknowledges and agrees that solely as among the Senior Priority Secured Parties, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary it is the intention of the Senior Priority Secured Parties of each Series of Senior Priority
Debt that the holders of Senior Priority Debt of such Series of Senior Priority Debt (and not the Senior Priority Secured Parties of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt) bear the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction that (x) any of the Senior Priority Obligations of such Series of Senior Priority Debt are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of Senior Priority Debt),
(y) any of the Senior Priority Obligations of such Series of Senior Priority Debt do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of Senior Priority Debt and/or (z) any
intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Senior Priority Debt) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Senior Priority Debt but junior to the security interest of
any other Series of Senior Priority Debt or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any other Series of Senior Priority Debt that is not also Collateral for such Series of Senior Priority Debt (any such condition referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Senior Priority Debt, an “Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt”)(except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any
applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby). In the

applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, the results of such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Senior
Priority Debt, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Senior Priority Debt (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Series of Senior Priority Debt pursuant to Section 4.1) set forth
herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Senior Priority Debt subject to such Impairment of Series of Senior
Priority Debt. 
 (f) Senior Intervening Creditor. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1(b) to the contrary, solely as
among the Senior Priority Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a Senior Priority Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the Lien or security interest of any Series
of Senior Priority Debt but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the Lien or security interest of any other Series of Senior Priority Debt (such third party an “Senior Intervening
Creditor”), except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, the value of any
Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Senior Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be distributed in respect of the Series of Senior Priority Debt with respect to
which such Impairment of Series of Senior Priority Debt exists. 
 (g) Impairment of Junior Priority Debt. Each Junior Priority
Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented by it, hereby acknowledges and agrees that solely as among the Junior Priority Secured Parties, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary it is the intention of
the Junior Priority Secured Parties of each Series of Junior Priority Debt that the holders of Junior Priority Debt of such Series of Junior Priority Debt (and not the Junior Priority Secured Parties of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt) bear
the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (x) any of the Junior Priority Obligations of such Series of Junior Priority Debt are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any
other obligations (other than another Series of Junior Priority Debt), (y) any of the Junior Priority Obligations of such Series of Junior Priority Debt do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any
other Series of Junior Priority Debt and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Junior Priority Debt) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series
of Junior Priority Debt but junior to the security interest of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any other Series of Junior Priority Debt that is not also Collateral for such Series of
Junior Priority Debt (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Junior Priority Debt, an “Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt”) (except as may be separately
otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby). In the event of any Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt with
respect to any Series of Junior Priority Debt, except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented
thereby, the results of such Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Junior Priority Debt, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Junior Priority Debt (including, without
limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Series of Junior Priority Debt pursuant to Section 4.1) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment of Series of
Junior Priority Debt are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Junior Priority Debt subject to such Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt. 

  
 J-32 








 (h) Junior Intervening Creditor. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1(b) to
the contrary, solely as among the Junior Priority Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a Junior Priority Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the Lien or security
interest of any Series of Junior Priority Debt but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the Lien or security interest of any other Series of Junior Priority Debt (such third party an “Junior
Intervening Creditor”), except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, the value
of any Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Junior Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or Proceeds thereof to be distributed in respect of the Series of Junior Priority Debt with respect
to which such Impairment of Series of Junior Priority Debt exists. 
 Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each Agent is hereby
authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not any Credit Party shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any time when any other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. Each Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Creditors represented thereby, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such
remedy of specific performance.

default under this Agreement) or would constitute an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor otherwise
should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under any Senior Priority Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), no Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor shall have any liability whatsoever to any
Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). Each Senior Priority Secured Party shall be

(c) Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Junior
Priority Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to [name of Junior Priority Agent] pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by [name of Junior Priority Agent] hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [            ], 20[    ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, replaced or refinanced from time to time, the
“Intercreditor Agreement”), initially among [            ], in its capacities as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Original Senior Lien Lenders to the
Original Senior Lien Credit Agreement, [                    ], in its capacities as [administrative agent and collateral agent] for the
[        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Lenders to the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Credit Agreement, and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 In
addition, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Junior Priority Collateral Document consisting of a mortgage covering any Collateral consisting of real estate
shall contain language appropriate to reflect the subordination of such Junior Priority Collateral Documents to the Senior Priority Documents covering such Collateral.

 (d) Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any
applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, and except as otherwise provided in the Base Intercreditor Agreement each Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself
and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, hereby agrees that, without affecting the obligations of such Senior Priority Secured Parties hereunder, any other Senior Priority Agent and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby
may, at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to any such Senior Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this
Agreement), and without incurring any liability to any such Senior Priority Secured Party, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify any of the Senior Priority Documents to which such other
Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby is party or beneficiary in any manner whatsoever, including, to: 

(i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew, alter or increase, all or any of the Senior Priority
Obligations or otherwise amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, all or any part of the Senior Priority Obligations or any of the Senior Priority Documents; 

(ii) subject to Section 2.5 of the Base Intercreditor Agreement, retain or obtain a Lien on any Property of any
Person to secure any of the Senior Priority Obligations, and in connection therewith to enter into any Senior Priority Documents; 

(iii) amend, or grant any waiver, compromise, or release with respect to, or consent to any departure from, any guarantee or
other obligations of any Person obligated in any manner under or in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations; 
 (iv)
release its Lien on any Collateral or other Property; 
 (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any
Credit Party or any other Person; 
 (vi) subject to Section 2.5(b) of the Base Intercreditor Agreement, retain
or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other Person with respect to any of the Senior Priority Obligations; and 

(vii) otherwise manage and supervise the Senior Priority Obligations as such other Senior Priority Agent shall deem
appropriate. 
 (e) Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents,
in each case on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, hereby agrees that, without affecting the
obligations of such Junior Priority Secured Parties hereunder, any other Junior Priority Agent and any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby may, at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion without the consent of or notice to
any such Junior Priority Secured Party (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to any such Junior Priority Secured Party, amend, restate,
supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify any of the Junior Priority Documents to which such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby is party or beneficiary in any
manner whatsoever, including, to: 
 (i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew, alter or increase, all
or any of the Junior Priority Obligations or otherwise amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, all or any part of the Junior Priority Obligations or any of the Junior Priority

 (f) The Senior Priority Obligations and the Junior Priority Obligations may be refunded, replaced or refinanced, in whole or
in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under any Senior Priority Document or any Junior Priority Document, respectively) of
any Senior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditors, as the case may be, all without affecting the Lien Priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided,
however, that (x) if the Indebtedness refunding, replacing or refinancing any such Senior Priority Obligations or Junior Priority Obligations is to constitute Additional Obligations hereunder (as designated by the Original Senior
Lien Borrower [or the [        ] Senior Lien Borrower]), as the case may be, the holders of such Indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) shall bind themselves in writing to the terms
of this Agreement pursuant to an Additional Indebtedness Joinder and any such refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction shall be in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Senior Priority Documents and the Junior Priority Documents
and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Priority Obligations and Junior Priority Obligations may be refunded, replaced or refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a
consent is required to permit the refunding, replacement or refinancing transaction under any Senior Priority Document or any Junior Priority Document) of any Senior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditors, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority
Creditors, as the case may be, to the incurrence of Additional Indebtedness, subject to Section 7.11. 
 Section 5.3
Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement. If any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party or any other Person
any payment made in satisfaction of all or any

portion of the Senior Priority Obligations (a “Senior Priority Recovery”), then the Senior Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Senior Priority
Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Priority Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Senior Priority Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of each Agent, each Senior Priority Creditor, and each Junior Priority Creditor under
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Credit Party or any other
circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations or the Junior Priority Obligations. No priority or right of any Senior Priority Secured Party
shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Senior Priority Documents,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Senior Priority Secured Party may have. 
 ARTICLE VI 

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS 

Section 6.1 DIP Financing. 

(a) If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations
(as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) and prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, and any Senior Priority Secured Party shall seek to provide any Credit Party with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the
Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees
that it will raise no objection and will not directly or indirectly support or act in concert with any other party in raising an objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate
protection” for the Liens of such Junior Priority Agent securing the applicable Junior Priority Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing, except as otherwise set
forth herein), and will subordinate its Liens on the Collateral to (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), (ii) any adequate protection Liens provided to the Senior Priority
Creditors, and (iii) any “carve-out” for professional or United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Priority Agent, so long as (x) such Junior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the
applicable Junior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (y) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing are senior to or on a
parity with the Liens of the Senior Priority Secured Parties on the Collateral securing the Senior Priority Obligations and (z) if any Senior Priority Secured Party receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the
debtor to secure the Senior Priority Obligations, such Junior Priority Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the related Junior Priority Obligations, provided that
(x) each such Lien in favor of such Senior Priority Secured Party and such Junior Priority Secured Party shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b) hereof and the relevant provisions of Section 6.1 of the Base
Intercreditor Agreement and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent any Junior Priority Secured Party from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of
a plan of reorganization. 
 (b) All Liens granted to any Senior Priority Secured Party or Junior Priority Secured Party in any Insolvency
Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
alter the super-priority of any Liens securing any DIP Financing. 

  
 J-38 








 Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations,
each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the
Collateral without each Senior Priority Agent’s express written consent. 
 Section 6.3 No Contest. Each Junior Priority
Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting)
(i) any request by any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a)), or (ii) any objection by any Senior
Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by such Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of
Section 6.1(a)) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such Senior Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are
subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, any Senior
Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any other
Person contesting) (i) any request by any other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other Senior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (ii) any
objection by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other Senior Priority
Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Senior Priority Agent as adequate protection of
its interests are subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and any Junior Priority Creditors represented
thereby, any Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or
indirectly support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by any other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented by such other Junior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral,
or (ii) any objection by such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented by
such other Junior Priority Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Junior Priority Agent
as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. 
 Section 6.4 Asset Sales. Each Junior Priority Agent
agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by any Senior Priority Agent of any Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any
similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with the Base Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement. 

  
 J-39 








 Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured
Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Priority Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because
of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the Junior Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in
an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand,
and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
all distributions shall be applied as if there were separate classes of Senior Priority Obligation claims and Junior Priority Obligation claims against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the
Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties), the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal,
pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest that is available from the Collateral for each of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, before any distribution from the Collateral is applied in respect
of the claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties, with the Junior Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the
Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing their aggregate recoveries. The foregoing sentence is subject to any separate agreement by and between any Additional
Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Additional Creditors represented thereby, and any other Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Creditors represented thereby, with respect to the Obligations owing to any such Additional Agent and
Additional Creditors. 
 Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be
enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Section 6.7 Senior
Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of any Senior Priority Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the other Senior Priority Agents, the Junior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable)
hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior
Priority Document; 
 (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion
of the Senior Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Senior Priority Document; 

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

  
 J-40 








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

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

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

(c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other
collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Junior Priority Obligations or any
guarantee thereof; 
 (d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Credit Party; or 

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in
respect of the Junior Priority Obligations, or of any of the Senior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement. 

Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.1 and this
Section 6.9, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any Agent and the Creditors represented thereby from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their interests in the applicable Collateral in any
Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, additional collateral or otherwise; provided that (a) in the event that any Junior Priority
Agent, for and on behalf of itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of any Junior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on
additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral, then each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Priority Agent
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the Junior Priority Obligations shall be subordinate to any Lien on such collateral securing the
Senior Priority Obligations; (b) in the event that any Senior Priority Agent, for or on behalf of itself or any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Senior Priority
Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral, then such Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior
Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each other Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a pari passu Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations owing to such other Senior Priority Agent and the Senior
Priority Creditors represented thereby, and that any such Lien on such collateral securing such Senior Priority Obligations shall be pari passu to each such other Lien on such collateral securing such other Senior Priority Obligations (except as may
be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby.

 ARTICLE VII 

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

Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to
enable such Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action
referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may
interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2. 

Section 7.3 Representations. The Original Senior Lien Agent represents and warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite
power and authority under the Original Senior Lien Facility Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Original Senior Lien Creditors. The
[        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Agent represents and warrants to each other Agent that it has the
requisite power and authority under the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Facility Documents to enter
into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Creditors. Each Additional Agent represents and warrants to each other Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the applicable Additional Documents to enter into, execute,
deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and any Additional Creditors represented thereby. 
 Section 7.4
Amendments. 
 (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any
Party hereto, shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by (i) prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, each Senior Priority Agent then party to this Agreement and (ii) prior to the Discharge of Junior
Priority Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent then party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Original Senior Lien Borrower may, without the consent of any Party hereto, amend this Agreement to add an Additional Agent by
(x) executing an Additional Indebtedness Joinder as provided in Section 7.11 or (y) executing a joinder 

  
 J-42 








 
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto or otherwise as provided for in the definition of “Original Senior Lien Credit Agreement” or
“[        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Credit Agreement”, as applicable. No amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure therefrom by any Party hereto, that changes, alters, modifies or otherwise affects any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of, or
otherwise adversely affects in any manner, any Additional Agent that is not then a Party, or any Additional Creditor not then represented by an Additional Agent that is then a Party (including but not limited to any change, alteration, modification
or other effect upon any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of or other adverse effect upon any such Additional Agent or Additional Creditor that may at any subsequent time become a Party or beneficiary hereof) shall be
effective unless it is consented to in writing by the Original Senior Lien Borrower (regardless of whether any such Additional Agent or Additional Creditor ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof). Any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit Document to this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying such Credit Document, or any term
or provision thereof, or any right or obligation of any Credit Party thereunder or in respect thereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Original Senior Lien Borrower and each other affected
Credit Party. Any amendment, modification or waiver of clause (b) in any of the definitions of the terms “Additional Credit Facilities,” “Original Senior Lien Credit Agreement” or
“[        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Credit Agreement” or of the definition of “Senior
Priority Representative” or Section 7.19 shall not be given effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Original Senior Lien Borrower. 

(b) In the event that any Senior Priority Agent or the requisite Senior Priority Creditors enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in
respect of or replace any Senior Priority Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Priority Collateral Document relating to the Collateral or
changing in any manner the rights of any Senior Priority Agent, any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, or any Credit Party with respect to the Collateral (including the release of any Liens on Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or
consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of or any actions by any Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby; provided, that
such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of such Junior Priority Creditors in the Collateral (it being understood that the release of any Liens securing Junior Priority Obligations pursuant to
Section 2.4(b) shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the rights or interests of such Junior Priority Creditors in the Collateral). The applicable Senior Priority Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or
consent to the Junior Priority Agents; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Junior Priority Collateral Document as set
forth in this Section 7.4(b). 
 Section 7.5 Addresses for Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein,
any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, faxed, sent by electronic mail or sent by overnight express courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a facsimile or upon receipt of electronic mail sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the
opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient) or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed). The addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change
thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 7.5) shall be as set forth below or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties.

Section 7.8 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. The validity, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws principles to the extent that such principles are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the

understood that this Agreement does not supersede the Base Intercreditor Agreement). 
 Section 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by telecopy and other electronic transmission), and it is not necessary that the signatures of all Parties be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart will be deemed to be an
original, and all together shall constitute one and the same document. 
 Section 7.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Senior Priority Agents, the Senior Priority Creditors, the

Section 7.11 Designation of Additional Indebtedness; Joinder of Additional Agents. 

(a) The Original Senior Lien Borrower may designate any Additional Indebtedness complying with the requirements of the definition thereof as
Additional Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement, upon complying with the following conditions: 
 (i) one or more
Additional Agents for one or more Additional Creditors in respect of such Additional Indebtedness shall have executed the Additional Indebtedness Joinder with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, and the Original Senior Lien Borrower or any such
Additional Agent shall have delivered such executed Additional Indebtedness Joinder to each Agent then party to this Agreement; 

(ii) at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in writing by the Parties (other than any Designated Agent)
and the Original Senior Lien Borrower) prior to delivery of the Additional Indebtedness Joinder, the Original Senior Lien Borrower shall have delivered to each Agent then party to this Agreement complete and correct copies of any Additional Credit
Facility, Additional Guarantees and Additional Collateral Documents that will govern such Additional Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be unexecuted copies of Additional Documents to be executed and delivered
concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation); 
 (iii) the Original Senior Lien Borrower shall have executed and
delivered to each Agent then party to this Agreement the Additional Indebtedness Designation (including whether such Additional Indebtedness is designated Senior Priority Debt or Junior Priority Debt) with respect to such Additional Indebtedness;
and 
 (iv) all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes or fees (if any) that are payable in
connection with the inclusion of such Additional Indebtedness under this Agreement shall have been paid and reasonable evidence thereof shall have been given to each Agent then party to this Agreement. 

  
 J-45 








 No Additional Indebtedness may be designated both Senior Priority Debt and Junior Priority Debt. 

(b) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the preceding Section 7.11(a), the designated Additional Indebtedness shall
constitute “Additional Indebtedness”, any Additional Credit Facility under which such Additional Indebtedness is or may be incurred shall constitute an “Additional Credit Facility”, any holder of such Additional
Indebtedness or other applicable Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Creditor”, and any Additional Agent for any such Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Agent” for all purposes under
this Agreement. The date on which such conditions specified in clause (a) shall have been satisfied with respect to any Additional Indebtedness is herein called the “Additional Effective Date” with respect to such
Additional Indebtedness. Prior to the Additional Effective Date with respect to any Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed not to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and
obligations of the Original Senior Lien Agent, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Agent and each
other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Indebtedness is not then designated. On and after the Additional Effective Date with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, all references
herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the Original Senior Lien Agent, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Agent and each other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional
Indebtedness is then designated. 
 (c) In connection with any designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this
Section 7.11, each of the Original Senior Lien Agent, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien

Documents, [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Collateral Documents or Additional Collateral Documents,
as applicable, and any agreements relating to any security interest in Control Collateral and Cash Collateral, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions (including executing and recording any mortgage subordination or similar
agreement), as may be reasonably deemed by the Original Senior Lien Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority
contemplated by the applicable Additional Indebtedness Designation delivered pursuant to this Section 7.11 and by this Agreement), and (y) otherwise to reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Indebtedness
pursuant to this Section 7.11 (including, without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of any Additional Indebtedness Joinder or of the occurrence of any Additional Effective Date). 

Section 7.12 Senior Priority Representative; Notice of Senior Priority Representative Change. The Senior Priority Representative
shall act for the Senior Priority Secured Parties as provided in this Agreement, and shall be entitled to so act at the direction or with the consent of the Controlling Senior Priority Secured Parties, or of the requisite percentage of such
Controlling Senior Priority Secured Parties as provided in the applicable Senior Priority Documents (or the agent or representative with respect thereto). Until a Party (other than the existing Senior Priority Representative) receives written notice
from the existing Senior Priority Representative, in accordance with Section 7.5, of a change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative, such Party shall be entitled to act as if the existing Senior Priority Representative is
in fact the Senior Priority Representative. Each Party (other than the existing Senior Priority Representative) shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice of a change in the identity 

  
 J-46 








 
of the Senior Priority Representative which facially appears to be from the then-existing Senior Priority Representative and is delivered in accordance with Section 7.5, and such
Party shall not be required to inquire into the veracity or genuineness of such notice. Each existing Senior Priority Representative from time to time shall give prompt written notice to each Party of any change in the identity of the Senior
Priority Representative. 
 Section 7.13 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and
are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, respectively. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the rights of any Credit
Party, or the obligations of any Credit Party to pay any Original Senior Lien Obligations, any [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Obligations and any Additional Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. 

Section 7.14 Headings. The headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience only
and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 
 Section 7.15 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 (i) invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction or (ii) invalidate the Lien Priority or the application of Proceeds and other priorities
set forth in this Agreement. 
 Section 7.16 Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that if any dispute, arbitration,
litigation, or other proceeding is brought with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement, irrespective of whether suit is brought. 

Section 7.17 VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK (THE “NEW YORK SUPREME COURT”), AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
(THE “FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT,” AND TOGETHER WITH THE NEW YORK SUPREME COURT, THE “NEW YORK COURTS”) AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM EITHER OF THEM; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO
PRECLUDE (I) ANY PARTY FROM BRINGING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, (II) IF ALL SUCH NEW YORK COURTS DECLINE JURISDICTION OVER ANY PERSON, OR DECLINE (OR IN
THE CASE OF THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT, LACK) JURISDICTION OVER ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT WITH RESPECT THERETO IN ANOTHER COURT HAVING JURISDICTION AND (III) IN THE EVENT A
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR INVOLVING ANY OF ITS ASSETS OR PROPERTY IN ANOTHER COURT (WITHOUT ANY COLLUSIVE ASSISTANCE BY SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES), SUCH PARTY FROM ASSERTING A CLAIM
OR DEFENSE (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE THAT THIS SECTION 7.17(A) WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE TO BE ASSERTED IN A LEGAL PROCEEDING IN A NEW YORK COURT) IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 

  
 J-47 








 (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT
HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 

(c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 7.5. NOTHING
IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 

Section 7.18 Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the “Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the
Original Senior Lien Credit Agreement, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Credit Agreement and each
Additional Credit Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any Junior Priority Secured Party to receive payment to the right of any Senior Priority Secured Party (whether before or after the occurrence of an
Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens as between the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, but
not a subordination of Indebtedness. 
 Section 7.19 Term Loan Collateral Representative. Each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that prior to the Discharge of the Senior Priority Obligations, (x) such Junior Priority Agent shall be ineligible to act as the “Note Collateral
Representative” under the Base Intercreditor Agreement and shall not act in such capacity, and for purposes of determining the “Note Collateral Representative” under the Base Intercreditor Agreement the Additional Obligations (as
defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) of such Junior Priority Creditors shall be disregarded and deemed not to constitute Additional Obligations (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement), (y) such Junior Priority Creditors
shall be ineligible to vote on matters requiring the consent or approval of the “Requisite Holders” under the Base Intercreditor Agreement and (z) the Additional Obligations (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) of
such Junior Priority Creditors shall be disregarded and deemed not outstanding for purposes of calculating “Requisite Holders” under the Base Intercreditor Agreement. 

Section 7.20 No Warranties or Liability. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that none of the other Parties has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other Original Senior Lien Facility Document, any other [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Facility Document or any other Additional Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party will be
entitled to manage and supervise its respective extensions of credit to any Credit Party in accordance with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate. 

Section 7.21 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Original
Senior Lien Facility Document, any [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Facility Document or any
Additional Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 

  
 J-48 








 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the Base Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the Base Intercreditor Agreement shall control;
provided, however, that (x) as permitted by the Base Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate writing among the Agents (as defined in the Base Intercreditor Agreement) party hereto altering the
rights between the Senior Priority Creditors on the one hand and the Junior Priority Creditors on the other hand and (y) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Senior Priority
Representative be (i) any Junior Priority Agent in its capacity as such or (ii) any Person that is not a party to this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to negate any specific
rights granted to, or obligations of, any Credit Party in the Senior Priority Documents or the Junior Priority Documents. 

Section 7.22 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Credit Parties. No Party has any responsibility for keeping any
other Party informed of the financial condition of the Credit Parties or of other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Original Senior Lien Obligations, the [        ]1 [Senior/Junior]2 Lien Obligations or any Additional Obligations, as applicable. Each Party hereby agrees that no Party shall have any duty to
advise any other Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Party to this
Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other Party or any other Party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine,
or (c) to disclose any other information. 
 Section 7.23 Excluded Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in
this Agreement (including Sections 2.1, 4.1, 6.1 and 6.9) shall be deemed to provide or require that any Agent or any Secured Party represented thereby receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on, any Property of any Credit
Party that constitutes “Excluded Assets” under (and as defined in) the applicable Credit Document to which such Agent is a party.

other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and as
collateral agent for the Secured Parties (as defined therein). 

                       
                 (the “Assignor”) and             (the “Assignee”)

Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to those credit facilities provided for in the Credit Agreement as are set forth on Schedule 1 (individually, an “Assigned
Facility”; collectively, the “Assigned Facilities”), in a principal amount for each Assigned Facility as set forth on Schedule 1. 

2. The Assignor (a) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties

Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege; (e) appoints and authorizes each applicable Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under
the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto;

Agreement and will perform in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement all the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, including its obligations pursuant to Subsection
11.16 of the Credit Agreement, and, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its obligations pursuant to Subsection 4.11(b) of the Credit Agreement. 

4. The Assignee hereby confirms, in accordance with Subsection 11.6(h)(iv) of the Credit Agreement, that it will comply with the

 8. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, if the consents of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereto are required under Subsection 11.6 of the Credit Agreement, this Assignment and Assumption shall not be effective unless such consents shall have been obtained. 

9. This Assignment and Assumption shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws 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.
