 5 







 NOW, THEREFORE, the Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrowers on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:

 “ABR Loan” shall mean any Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
in accordance with the provisions of Article II. 
 “Accounts” shall have the meaning specified in
the UCC, including all rights to payment for goods sold or leased, or for services rendered. 
 “Account
Debtor” shall mean, a Person obligated under an Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible. 
 “Acquired
Debt” shall mean, with respect to any specified Person: (i) Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Restricted Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such
Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and (ii) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired
by such specified Person. 
 “Acquisition” shall have the meaning specified in the recitals hereto. 

“Acquisition Closing Date” shall have the meaning specified in the recitals hereto. 

“Additional Agreement” shall have the meaning specified in Section 8.04. 

“Additional Assets” shall mean (a) any properties or assets to be used by Holdings, a Borrower, or a Restricted
Subsidiary in a Permitted Business; (b) capital expenditures by the Holdings, a Borrower, or a Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business; or (c) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such time is a
Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (c), such Restricted Subsidiary is primarily engaged in a Permitted Business. 
 “Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning specified in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement. 
 “Affiliate” of any specified Person shall mean any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.
For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings. 

“Agent Fees” shall have the meaning specified in Section 2.12(d). 

  
 6 







 “Agent Parties” shall have the meaning specified in
Section 9.17(c). 
 “Agents” shall mean the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

 “Agreement” shall have the meaning specified in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement. 

“Allocable Amount” shall have the meaning specified in Section 9.22. 

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum determined by the
Administrative Agent from time to time as its prime commercial lending rate for U.S. Dollar loans in the United States for such day (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum
and (iii) the LIBOR Rate determined by the Administrative Agent (with a term equivalent to one month), determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the date at which the Alternate Base Rate is being
determined, plus 1%. The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate that the Administrative Agent is charging to any corporate customer. 
 “Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage” shall mean, for any day, the applicable percentage set forth below under the caption “Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage” based upon the
Quarterly Average Unused Revolving Facility Balance as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter: 
  

			
	 Quarterly Average Unused Revolving Facility Balance
	 	 Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage

	 Category 1
 > 50% of the Total Commitments
	 	0.50% per annum
	 Category 2
 < 50% of the Total Commitment
	 	0.375% per annum

 (i) the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be calculated once each fiscal quarter, as of the last day of each
such fiscal quarter, based upon the Quarterly Average Unused Revolving Facility Balance for such fiscal quarter, (ii) the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the first fiscal quarter
to end following the Closing Date shall be the applicable percentage set forth in Category 1 above and thereafter shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iii) in the event that the Borrowers fail to provide any Borrowing
Base Certificate required hereunder with respect thereto for any period on the date required hereunder, effective as of the date on which such Borrowing Base Certificate was otherwise required, the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be
deemed to be Category 1 above for all purposes until the date on which such required Borrowing Base Certificate is provided and (iv) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
Section 7.01(b), (c), (i) or (j) is continuing the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall be deemed to be Category 1 above. 
 In the event that the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered is inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such


  
 7 







 
inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable
Commitment Fee Percentage applied for such Applicable Period, then (a) the Borrowers shall as promptly as practicable deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, (b) the Applicable
Commitment Fee Percentage shall be determined based on the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, and (c) the Borrowers shall as promptly as practicable pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders
during the Applicable Period or their successors and assigns) the accrued additional Commitment Fee owing as a result of such increased Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for such Applicable Period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Section 2.13 and Article VII hereof, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default
described in Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(j) has not occurred with respect to any Borrower, such shortfall shall be due and payable five (5) Business Days following the determination described above. 

All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 

“Applicable Margin” shall mean for any day with respect to any LIBOR Loan or any ABR Loan, the applicable margin per
annum set forth below under the caption “LIBOR Loan Spread,” “ABR Loan Spread,” as the case may be, based upon the Quarterly Average Excess Availability Percentage as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter:

  

									
	 Quarterly Average Excess

Availability Percentage
	  	 LIBOR Loan Spread
	 	 	 ABR Loan Spread
	 
	 Category 1
 < 33%
	  	 	2.00	% 	 	 	1.00	% 
	 Category 2
 > 33%
 < 66%
	  	 	1.75	% 	 	 	0.75	% 
	 Category 3
 > 66%
	  	 	1.50	% 	 	 	0.50	% 

 (i) the Applicable Margin shall be calculated and established once each fiscal quarter, as of the last day of each such
fiscal quarter, and shall remain in effect until adjusted thereafter after the end of each such fiscal quarter, (ii) each adjustment of the Applicable Margin shall be effective as of the first day of a fiscal quarter based on the Quarterly
Average Excess Availability Percentage for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, (iii) the Applicable Margin from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the first fiscal quarter to end following the Closing Date shall be the
applicable percentage set forth in Category 2 above and thereafter shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) in the event that Borrower fails to provide any Borrowing Base Certificate required hereunder with respect
thereto for any period on the date required hereunder, effective as of the date on which such Borrowing Base Certificate was otherwise required, the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to be Category 1


  
 8 







 
above for all purposes until the date on which such required Borrowing Base Certificate is provided and (v) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default

respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolving Facility Loans shall take place on a date determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent (but at least weekly), in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Administrative Agent
to the Revolving Facility Lenders. Between settlement dates, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolving Facility Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by the Borrowers or any provision herein to the
contrary. Each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make settlements with the Administrative Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Total


  
 76 








 
Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 4.01 are satisfied. If, due to any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding with
respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Revolving Facility Lenders hereunder, then each Revolving Facility Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Administrative Agent a pro rata participation in
each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s request therefor. Swingline Loans shall be
comprised entirely of ABR Loans. 
 (c) Provisions Related to Incremental Facility and Extended Commitments with Respect
to Swingline Loans. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Commitments occurs at a time when another tranche or tranches of Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date
all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); provided, however, that if on the
occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Facility Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.05), there shall exist sufficient
unutilized Extended Commitments or New Revolving Facility Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Commitments or New Revolving Facility Commitments which will remain in effect after the
occurrence of such maturity date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Commitments or New
Revolving Facility Commitments, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date. 
 Section 2.05. Revolving Letters of Credit. 
 (a) General.
Issuing Banks shall issue Revolving Letters of Credit from time to time until 5 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, on the terms set forth herein, including the following: 

(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing
Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Revolving Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as an Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and
amount. Issuing Banks shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is
satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Defaulting Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure (if any) associated with such Defaulting Lender.
Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions. 
 (ii) Revolving Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement. The renewal


  
 77 








 
or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Revolving Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the
discretion of Issuing Bank. 
 (iii) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any
Revolving Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Revolving Letter of Credit, none of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Revolving Facility Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality,
quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in
any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure
to ship, any goods referred to in a Revolving Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a
shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Facility Lender, including any act or
omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are
discharged with proceeds of any Revolving Letter of Credit (to the extent so discharged). 
 (iv) In connection
with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Revolving Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and except in the case of it or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct
or material breach of a Loan Document, shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any
action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Revolving Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and except in the case of it or
its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of a Loan Document, shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact. 

(b) Reimbursement; Participations: 
 (i) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, within one Business Day


  
 78 








 
(“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Revolving Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for ABR Loans from the Reimbursement
Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Revolving Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Lead Borrower submits a Borrowing
Request, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Loan in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Revolving Facility Lender agrees to fund its pro rata share of such ABR Loan whether
or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Article IV are satisfied. 
 (ii) Upon issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit, each Revolving Facility Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided pro rata interest and participation in all Revolving L/C Exposure relating to the Revolving Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the
Reimbursement Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Facility Lenders and each Revolving Facility Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Issuing Bank, the Revolving Facility Lender’s pro rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Revolving Facility Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Revolving Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

 (iii) The obligation of each Revolving Facility Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the
account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be
made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Revolving Letter of Credit having been
determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations.
Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Revolving Facility Lenders any express or
implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Loan Party. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Revolving Facility Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any
Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party. 

  
 79 








 (iv) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Revolving Facility
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Revolving Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank may refrain from taking any action with respect to a
Revolving Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders. 
 (c) Cash Collateral. If any
Revolving L/C Exposure, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than zero, or (c) after the Maturity Date, then Borrowers
shall, at Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit and pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all other Revolving L/C Exposure. Borrowers shall, on
demand by Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender. If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Revolving Facility Lenders may (and
shall upon direction of the Administrative Agent) advance, as Revolving Facility Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Article IV are satisfied).

 (d) Resignation/Replacement of an Issuing Bank. 

(i) Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Issuing Bank may resign at any time if it has resigned in its capacity as
Administrative Agent. On and after the effective date of such resignation, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Revolving Letter of Credit, but shall continue to have all rights and other
obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Revolving Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. 
 (ii) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit issued by it prior to
such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Revolving Letters of Credit. 

  
 80 








 (e) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Lead Borrower may by notice to
the Administrative Agent designate up to four Lenders that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a
counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes. 

(f) Reporting. Each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any LC Request no later than the
next Business Day after receipt thereof, (ii) provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of the Revolving Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal or extension of the Revolving Letter of Credit, as applicable, on the Business Day on which
such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Revolving Letter of Credit, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any Revolving L/C Disbursement, advise the Administrative Agent of the date of such Revolving L/C
Disbursement and the amount of such Revolving L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, furnish the Administrative Agent with such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. If requested by any Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall provide copies to such Lender of the documents referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. 
 Section 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it to the Borrowers hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the time specified by the Administrative Agent. Swingline Loans shall not be governed by this Section 2.06
but shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account of the Lead Borrower as is designated
in the Borrowing Request; provided that (i) Loans (other than Swingline Loans) made to finance the reimbursement of a Revolving L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05 shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Revolving L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05 shall be remitted by the Swingline
Lender to the applicable Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall promptly confirm receipt to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without
duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers the interest rate applicable to
LIBOR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 81 








 Section 2.07. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Lead Borrower may elect, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election in writing (by hand delivery or telecopy) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Lead Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the
effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and signed by such Borrower. 
 (c)
Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
and 
 (iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election. 

If any such Interest Election Request made by the Lead Borrower does not specify an Interest Period, then the Lead Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest
Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If the Lead Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to one of its LIBOR Borrowings prior to the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing
(i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 82 








 Section 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Revolver Facility Loans shall be due and payable
in full on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolving Facility Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. 
 (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under any Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be in
an amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$500,000 and not less than U.S.$2.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitments), and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to
any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments. 

(c) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph
(b) of this Section 2.08 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments delivered by the Lead Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other Indebtedness or credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility. 
 Section 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of
Debt. 
 (a) The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount (and other amounts owing hereunder, including interest, in respect) of each Revolving Facility Loan to the Borrowers on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount (and other amounts owing hereunder, including interest, in respect) of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower in accordance with Section 2.04. 

(b) The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lenders on the relevant maturity date for any Extended Revolving Facility Loans, all then outstanding Extended Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  
 83 








 (d) The Administrative Agent (or its agents or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain the
Register, as set forth in Section 9.04(b)(iii), in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the 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 Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) any amount received by such Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

 (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 2.09
shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not
in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans made to the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrowers be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including, to the extent requested by any assignee, after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of
the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

Section 2.10. Application of Payment in the Dominion Accounts. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Lead Borrower from
the Administrative Agent that specifies that “cash dominion” is being instituted, the ledger balance in the Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Secured Obligations at the beginning of
the next Business Day during a Cash Dominion Event. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall accrue interest in favor of the Borrowers and shall be made available to the Borrowers as long as no Event of Default
under Section 7.01(b), (c), (i) or (j) is continuing. During a Cash Dominion Event, each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds in the Dominion Account or any
Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply the same against the outstanding Secured Obligations, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Borrowings by such Borrower in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, in accordance
with Section 2.08. 

  
 84 








 (b) If at any time, the sum of aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Facility Loans
plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Letters of Credit then outstanding has exceeded Availability, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within one Business Day, prepay the outstanding principal amount
of any Revolving Facility Loans owing by the Borrowers such that the aggregate amount so prepaid by the Borrowers and cash collateral deposited in an account with the Administrative Agent (or an account in the name of the Administrative Agent with
another institution designated by the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of Availability on such date together with any interest accrued to the date of
such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility Loans prepaid. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders.

 (c) If during the Cash Dominion Period, Holdings or a Borrower receives proceeds of any business interruption insurance, the
Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within one Business Day of receipt, prepay with any net cash proceeds of such business interruption insurance, Revolving Facility Loans owing by the Borrowers without any permanent reduction
in commitments under the Revolving Facility. 
 (d) [reserved]. 

(e) In the event of any termination of all the Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its
outstanding Revolving Loans and all outstanding Swingline Loans and terminate all its outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit and/or Cash Collateralize such Revolving Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(c). If as a result
of any partial reduction of the Commitments, the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments of all Revolving Facility Lenders after giving effect thereto, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction,
repay or prepay their respective Borrowings under Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or Cash Collateralize Revolving Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 

Section 2.12. Fees. 
 (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender, without duplication of any other amounts paid to such Lender, (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, in arrears, on the first
day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, in an amount equal to
the product of (i) the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage and (ii) Quarterly Average Unused Facility Balance for such immediately preceding fiscal quarter. 
 All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline
Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall begin to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of
the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. 

  
 85 








 (b) The Borrowers from time to time agree to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender, (other
than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated, a fee (a “Revolving L/C
Participation Fee”) for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Revolving L/C
Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date and ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin
for LIBOR Revolving Facility Borrowings effective for each day in such period. 
 (c) The Borrowers from time to time agree to
pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) on the first day of each January, April, July and October for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and on the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated, a
fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or such other amount as the Lead Borrower and any Issuing Bank shall,
in their sole discretion, agree in writing), in respect of each Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such
Revolving Letter of Credit, plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Revolving Letter of Credit or any Revolving L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and
processing charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All Revolving L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable pursuant to (ii) above on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Issuing Bank Fees that are customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit shall be paid as and when incurred
on demand. 
 (d) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for the account of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Agent Fees”). 

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as
appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

Section 2.13. Interest. 
 (a) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan made to the Borrowers at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to the Borrowers at the LIBOR Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin. 

  
 86 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees
or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Borrowers shall pay interest on such overdue amount, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (y) in the case of any other amount, 2%
plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Default or Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08. 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the
case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan (other than Swingline Loans), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 
 (e) All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to this
Section 2.13, on the basis of a year of 360 days (or in the case of any interest payable in respect of the Alternate Base Rate (other than clause (iii) thereof), 365 or 366 days, as applicable). 

Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. 

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their
Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and
the Lenders by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the rate of
interest per annum on each Lender’s share of the affected Borrowings shall be the rate per annum which is the aggregate of (x) the Applicable Margin and (y) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by such Lender as
soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Borrowing from
whatever source it may reasonably select. 
 (b) If any of the circumstances described in paragraph (a) occur and the
Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower so requests, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to 

  
 87 








 
agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the appropriate rate of interest applicable to affected Borrowings. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the foregoing sentence will, subject to
the consent of the Majority Lenders under each affected Facility, be binding on all Lenders and the Loan Parties. 

Section 2.15. Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR) or Issuing Bank; or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Revolving Letter of Credit or participation therein (except, in each case (A) for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes (B) for changes in the rate of tax on the overall rate of net income of such
Lender); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to a Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Revolving Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (except, in each case (A) for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes and (B) for changes in the rate of tax on the overall rate of net income
of such Lender), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any
such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and 

  
 88 








 
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Lead Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.16. Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBOR Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable law. If a Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the
applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all 

  
 89 








 
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) any Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes been made, (ii) such Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party or other
applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (other than any penalty resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank and without duplication of any amounts
indemnified under Section 2.17(a)) paid or payable by such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation for
such payment or liability is delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Administrative Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, which certificate
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) As soon as
practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any
documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Issuing Bank to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any
payments to be made to such Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material
respect, deliver promptly to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the
Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. 

  
 90 








 (i) Without limiting the foregoing: 

(A) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall
deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or
Issuing Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 
 (B) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the
Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is
applicable: 
  

	 	(1)	two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code, 

  

	 	(2)	two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 


 

	 	(3)	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or
any successor forms), 

  

	 	(4)	to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) or any other required information from each
beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such beneficial
owner), or 

  

	 	(5)	two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a
basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents. 


  
 91 








 (C) If a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document
would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable
successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Lead
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any
time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(e), a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not legally eligible to
deliver. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that
it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such
refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in good faith and in its sole discretion,
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative


  
 92 








 
Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f), the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Loan Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. 
 Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Revolving L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time reasonably specified by the
Administrative Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment,
set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such
payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan or (ii) Revolving L/C Reimbursement
Obligations shall in each case be made in the currency in which such Loan was made or such Revolving Letter of Credit was issued. All payments of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment
required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the
regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Administrative Agent to make such payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed Revolving L/C Disbursements, interest
and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such 

  
 93 








 
funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of any Agent Fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto, (ii) second towards
payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed Revolving L/C Disbursements then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed Revolving L/C Disbursements then due to such parties.

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off, consolidation, banker’s lien or counterclaim, through the
application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or Revolving Facility Loans or participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans;
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Loan Party (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation. 

  
 94 








 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04, 2.05 or (e), 2.06 or 2.18, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as applicable, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers
may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04,
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment)); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Loan Party
(in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Loan Party may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of
Default then exists, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non- Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or
more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan 

  
 95 








 
Documents owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall
purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non- Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest or fees thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such
Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04. 
 (d) If any Swingline
Loans or LC Exposure exists or Protective Advance is outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such Swingline Loans, Revolving L/C Exposure, Protective Advances and Overadvance shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Credit Exposures plus the amount of the Applicable Percentage of the Defaulting Lender (determined immediately prior to its being a
Defaulting Lender) of Swingline Loans, Overadvance and Protective Advances that it has funded and are outstanding as of the date that it became a Defaulting Lender plus the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of
all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; or 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in paragraph
(i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash
collateralize 100.0% of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure and any obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loan, Overadvance or Protective Advance (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline
Lender with respect to such Revolving L/C Exposure and obligations to fund participations. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Revolving L/C Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following
(A) the elimination of the applicable Revolving L/C Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with
clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral. 

(iii) if the Revolving L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this
Section 2.19(d), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or 

(iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is not cash collateralized, prepaid or reallocated pursuant to
this Section 2.19(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12 with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is Cash collateralized. 

  
 96 








 (e) So long as any Lender is Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Revolving Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100.0% covered by the Commitments
of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.19(d), and participating interests in any such newly issued, extended or created Revolving Letter of Credit or newly made
Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(d)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender each agree that a Defaulting
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Percentage of Swingline Loans, Overadvance and Protective Advances and Revolving L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to
reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) or participations in Loans as the Administrative Agent shall determine may
be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.20. Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) New Commitments. At any time following the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Commitments (any such
increase, whether or not implemented through a separate tranche, a “Incremental Facility” and commitments thereunder, the “New Revolving Facility Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of $150,000,000 in the
aggregate (the “Maximum Incremental Amount”) or a lesser amount in integral multiples of $5,000,000. Such notice shall specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Lead Borrower proposes that the New
Revolving Facility Commitments shall be made available, which shall be a date not less than 5 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as reasonably approved by the
Administrative Agent). The New Revolving Facility Commitments shall be provided by Revolving Facility Lenders, or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “New Revolving Facility
Lender”) to whom the New Revolving Facility Commitments have been (in accordance with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New
Revolving Facility Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Facility Commitment. Such New Revolving Facility Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date;


  
 97 








 
provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Facility Commitments and Loans;
(ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increased Amount Date, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (iii) the New Revolving Facility Commitments if drawn shall count against the Borrowing

Revolving Facility, (vii) the guarantors under any Incremental Facility shall be limited to the Guarantors under the Revolving Facility and (viii) such increase in the Commitments shall be evidenced by one or more joinder agreements
executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each New Revolving Facility Lender; provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Revolving Facility (except to the extent permitted by the proviso
below), such other terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that in the event that the interest rate margins for any Incremental Facility are more than 0.50% per annum greater than the
applicable interest rate margin under the Revolving Facility, the applicable interest rate margin under the Revolving Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest rate margins under the Revolving Facility are equal to the
interest rate margins for such Incremental Facility minus 0.50% per annum. 
 (b) On any Increased Amount
Date on which New Revolving Facility Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Revolving Facility Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Facility Lenders,
and each of the New Revolving Facility Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Facility Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving Letters
of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date that will result in, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving Letters of Credit and Swingline
Loans being held by existing Revolving Facility Lenders and New Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Facility Commitments to the
Revolving Facility Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Facility Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Facility Loan and have the
same terms as any existing Revolving Facility Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Facility Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitments and all matters relating thereto.

 Section 2.21. Designated Borrowers; Lead Borrower. 

(a) (i) The Subsidiaries of the Lead Borrower listed on Schedule I (effective as of the Closing Date) and (ii) any other
Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower that executes a counterpart to this Agreement and to any other Loan Document as a Borrower, shall be “Designated Borrowers” hereunder. 

(b) Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents,
including requests for Revolver Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of
Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Revolving
Facility Lender. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, any notice or communication (including any Borrowing Request) delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of
any Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have the
right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the
Lead Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. 
 Section 2.22. Illegality. If any Lender
reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans, then,
on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender, prepay all such LIBOR Borrowings of such Lender on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid. 
 Section 2.23. Extensions of Revolving Facility Loans and Commitments.

 (a) The Lead Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments (and, in each
case, including any previously extended Commitments) existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Facility
Loans”) be exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Facility Loans related to such
Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Revolving Facility Loans”) and to provide for other terms
consistent with this Section 2.23. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to 

  
 99 








 
any Extended Commitments, the Lead 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 Class of Existing
Commitments) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified
Existing Commitment Class”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment
Class, (y) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for
the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class; and (z) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for Existing
Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.23 or otherwise, (1) the
borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Facility Loans under any Extended Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and
repayments of the Existing Revolving Facility Loans (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Revolving Credit
Facility), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Revolving Facility Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.04 and (3) no termination of
Extended Commitments and no repayment of Extended Revolving Facility Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is
accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Facility Loans and Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing
Commitment Class (or all Existing Commitments of such Class and related Existing Revolving Facility Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full). Any Extended Revolving Facility Loans shall constitute a separate Class of revolving
credit commitments from Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Facility Loans so established on such date); provided that in no event shall
there be more than three Classes of revolving credit commitments outstanding at any one time. 
 (b) Extended Loans/Commitments
shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.23(b) and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.08, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.25 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 9.08 to any Section 2.25 Additional
Agreements, any Extension Agreement may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.25 Additional Agreement”) to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.25 Additional 

  
 100








 
Agreements do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.25 Additional Agreements have been contested to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents
applicable to holders of Term Loans and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans/Commitments provided for in any Extension Agreement) by such of the Lenders. Loan Parties
and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.25 Additional Agreements to become effective in accordance with Section 9.08. In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Lead Borrower shall
deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby
(in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including without limitation, the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not
conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 9.08 and (iii) as to any other matter reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.24. Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to and consultation with the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make ABR Loans
(“Protective Advances”) (a) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans, not to exceed, at the time made, 10% of Availability, if the Administrative Agent deems such Protective Advances
necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and
expenses; provided that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the outstanding amount of Revolving Facility Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Total Commitments. Each Revolving Facility
Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a pro rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to the
Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, the Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Administrative Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to
(i) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (ii) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Collateral Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse
charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower after paying any such amount or taking any such action and, unless
an Event of Default exists, shall not make payment of any item that is being properly contested. 
 Section 2.25.
Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolver Facility Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure outstanding exceed the Borrowing Base (an “Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the Borrowers on demand by the
Administrative Agent, but all such Revolver Facility Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure shall nevertheless constitute Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may
require the Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does
not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), 

  
 101








 
and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances and Protective Advances not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of Availability and (b) regardless of whether an Event of
Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $5 million and (ii) does not continue
for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the aggregate outstanding Revolver Facility Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure to exceed the aggregate Total Commitments. The making of any Overadvance
shall not create nor constitute a Default or Event of Default; it being understood that the making or continuance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the then existing Event of Default. In no
event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be permitted to require any Overadvance Loan to be made. 
 Section 2.26.
Application of Payment in the Dominion Accounts. 
 (a) During the existence of a Cash Dominion Period, the Collateral
Agent shall give notice to any depositary bank or securities intermediary that is party to a Control Agreement that it is exercising sole dominion over the account subject to such Control Agreement (such accounts, the “Dominion
Accounts”) (it being agreed that, if no Cash Dominion Period exists, Collateral Agent shall not give such notice and each Loan Party may direct the utilization of funds in each of its Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, investment
accounts, other bank accounts and commodities accounts) and each Borrower agrees that, upon the giving of such notice, during the existence of a Cash Dominion Period, the Collateral Agent shall exercise sole dominion over such account. At the
direction of Collateral Agent, after giving the notice specified above, all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire ledger balance of any such account, shall be transferred by the end of each Business
Day by ACH or wire transfer into an account (the “Loan Account”) maintained by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.26(b). Upon a Cash Dominion Event ceasing to exist, the
Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable banks or intermediaries notice that it has ceased to exercise control pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement. 
 (b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 2.26(c) or Section 7.01 (or after the Loans have automatically become due and
payable in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(j)) or the sale or other disposition of the Collateral through an enforcement action, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent
for distribution hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, be distributed in the following order and, if to Lenders, according to each Lender’s
pro rata share with respect to each category set forth below: 
 (i) first, to all fees, indemnification,
costs and expenses, owing to the Administrative Agent, including Extraordinary Expenses; 
 (ii) second,
to all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent on Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and any Loans or Revolving L/C Exposure that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund; 

  
 102








 (iii) third, to all amounts owing to the Issuing Bank; 

(iv) fourth, to all Secured Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees,
indemnification, costs and expenses owing to the Revolving Facility Lenders; 
 (v) fifth, to all Secured
Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest; 
 (vi) sixth, to Cash
Collateralization of Revolving L/C Exposure; 
 (vii) seventh, to all Loans and to Secured Bank Product
Obligations (including cash collateralization thereof) up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserves existing therefor; 
 (viii) eighth, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations; 
 (ix) ninth, to all remaining Secured Obligations; and 
 (x)
last, any remaining balance to the Person entitled to receive such amounts under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and if no such agreement exists, to the Borrowers or their successors or assigns or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 Amounts shall be applied to
payment of each category of Secured Obligations only after Full Payment of all amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among Secured Obligations
in such category. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider. If the
provider fails to deliver the calculation within five days following request, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount is zero.

Holdings, the Borrower and their Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties
on a consolidated basis, respectively, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted

forth on Schedule 3.19, consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective bargaining agreements that, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to Holdings and

the Borrowers) with respect to any Collateral comprising the Borrowing Base per 12-month period; provided further, that if at any time Excess Availability is less than the greater of (i) 30% of Availability and (ii) $ 60.0 million for

limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers specifically agree to pay the Administrative Agent’s then standard charges for examination activities, including the standard charges of the Administrative Agent’s internal appraisal group. This

request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents. 

(b) Schedule 5.10 lists all of the Loan Parties’ owned Real Property as of the Closing Date. Each Borrower or Loan Party

effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within any statutory period, under the UCC, or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to
have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral for the benefit of, among potentially other Secured Parties, the Finance Parties and (D) promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any material portion of the
Collateral is damaged or destroyed.

the Administrative Agent; it being understood that (i) Inventory amounts shown in the Borrowing Base Certificates delivered on a weekly basis will be based on the Inventory amount (a) set forth in the most recent weekly report, where
possible, and (b) for the most recently ended month for which such information is available with regard to locations where it is impracticable to report Inventory more frequently, and (ii) the amount of Eligible Accounts shown in such

trust for the Administrative Agent and promptly deposit the same into any such Deposit Account or Dominion Account.

Agreement, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred or assumed by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; and

the greater of $100 million or 7.5% of Total Assets (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity incurred pursuant to this clause (xiv) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this
covenant from and after the date on which the Lead Borrower could have incurred such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred equity under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance upon this clause (xiv)); provided to the extent
such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien, such Liens either (A) do not extend to any Revolving Facility Priority Collateral or (B) are secured on a junior basis to the Liens securing the Obligations on any Revolving Facility Priority
Collateral and, in the case of this clause (B) relating to Indebtedness for borrowed money, are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable; 

(xv) Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that are not Guarantors in an amount not to exceed, in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 10.0% of Total Non-Guarantor Assets (it being understood that any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xv) shall cease to be deemed
incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xv) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of the first paragraph of this covenant from and after the first date on which such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such
Indebtedness under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance on this clause (xv)); 
 (xvi)
any “bad boy”, or springing recourse, guarantee by the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower that is the parent company of an MTBE Subsidiary or Permitted MTBE Joint Venture of Indebtedness of an MTBE Subsidiary
or Permitted MTBE Joint Venture so long as such Indebtedness (x) is incurred by such MTBE Subsidiary or Permitted MTBE Joint Venture in connection with its ownership, development, use or operation of its MTBE Assets and (y) such
Indebtedness is otherwise non-recourse to the Lead Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any MTBE Subsidiary): 
 (xvii) the incurrence by the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in connection with the MLP Formation Transactions to the extent such Indebtedness is extinguished in

of insurance premiums or (y) take or pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business. 

  
 131








 (c) The Lead Borrower will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any
Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the
Revolving Facility on substantially identical terms (or terms more favorable to the Lenders under the Revolving Facility); provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 
 (d)
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.02, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described
in Section 6.02(b) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, Holdings will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its
incurrence and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one of the above clauses, although Holdings may divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
preferred equity in one or more of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity, in any manner that complies with
this covenant. The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred
equity as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and unrealized losses or
charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of Standards Codification No. 815—Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS 133)) or any comparable standard relating to hedge accounting) will not be
deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case (other than preferred stock that is not Disqualified Stock), that the amount of any
such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Lead Borrower as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur
pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 
 (e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount
of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the establishment of the facility or instrument under which such Indebtedness was incurred; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness denominated in a
different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in
such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that
(i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with 

  
 132








 
the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, will be determined on the date such refinancing Indebtedness is incurred. 
 (f) The
amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 
 (i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in
the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; 
 (ii) the principal amount of the
Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 
 (iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person
secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 
 (A) the Fair Market Value of such
assets at the date of determination; and 
 (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

Section 6.03. Asset Sales. 
 (a) The Lead Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless the Lead Borrower (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives
consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
disposed of; and 
 (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Lead Borrower (or the
applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may: 
 (i) apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

 (A) (1) to the extent the Net Proceeds constitute proceeds of Revolving Facility Priority Collateral
repay Loans (other than Swingline Loans) pursuant to Section 2.11(e) (and, in the case of repayment of Revolving Facility Loans, correspondingly and permanently reduce commitments under the Revolving Facility) or (2) to the extent
the Net Proceeds constitute proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral redeem or purchase Senior Notes, by way of optional redemption, open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or an
“Asset Sale Offer” in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes Indenture; or 
 (B) in
reinvestment in the business of the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries by (1) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business (provided, that in the case of any such acquisition of
Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower), (2) acquiring other short- or long-term assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, or
(3) investing in Additional Assets; or 

  
 133








 (ii) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to
paragraph (i) above, provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or
expenditure is consummated, and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period. 

Section 6.04. Liens. The Lead Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secures Indebtedness of the Lead Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on any asset or property of the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits
therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom in each such case to the extent such asset, property, income or profits constitute Collateral, except that, the foregoing shall not apply to Permitted Liens. 

Section 6.05. Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries 

(a) The Lead Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Loan Party to, directly or
indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to: 

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(ii) make loans or advances to the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

(iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

 (i) agreements governing Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date, this Agreement and Credit Facilities as
in effect on the Closing Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals,

as applicable (to the extent they remain secured by Liens), and in each case the security documents or similar agreements related thereto; 
 (iii) applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction; 
 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the

or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred; 

(v) non-assignment provisions or subletting restrictions in contracts, leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (vi) purchase money obligations for property (including Capital Stock) acquired in the

restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending closing of the sale or other disposition;

governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

Section 6.04 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 

(x) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property or transfer of Capital Stock in joint
venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements, limited liability company organizational documents, and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practice or with the approval of the Lead Borrower’s or Holdings’ Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets, property or Capital Stock that are the subject of such agreements; 

(xi) restrictions on cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or

restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Closing Date; 
 (xv) any encumbrance or restriction
with respect to an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to or by reason of an agreement that the Unrestricted Subsidiary is a party to or entered into before the date on which such Unrestricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary; provided

Revolving Facility or the Senior Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower whose determination shall be conclusive; 
 (xvii) provisions with respect to the receipt of a rebate on an operating lease until all obligations due to a lessor on other operating leases are satisfied or other customary restrictions in respect of

the Lead Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to realize such value, or to make any distributions relating to such property or assets in each case in any material respect;

 For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions
being paid on ordinary shares shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Lead Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE
AGENTS 
 Section 8.01. Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent Appointment. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Administrative Agent” shall include Bank of America, N.A.
in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement), and each such Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except 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 the Administrative Agent.

 Section 8.02. Joint Lead Arrangers, etc. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank recognizes and agrees that the Joint
Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Manager, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender of Issuing Bank, and shall have no functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as such hereunder. 
 Section 8.03. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any
applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby,


  
 145








 
indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities
and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the
failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly
executed, or because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.03. The agreements in this Section 8.03 shall survive the
resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

 Section 8.04. Lien Release; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize the Agents to release any Lien with
respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrowers certify in writing is an Asset Sale permitted under Section 6.03 or a Permitted Lien entitled
to priority over the Collateral Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry) and (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral. The Agents shall have no obligation to
assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular
priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the
Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.04. 
 Section 8.05. Additional Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereby with respect to
Indebtedness that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens and which Indebtedness contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such other intercreditor
agreement, an “Additional Agreement”), and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on
the Collateral other than the “Revolving Facility Priority Collateral” securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the
Collateral securing the obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrowers and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such
provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and/or any Additional Agreement. 

  
 146








 Section 8.06. Reliance by Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person. The Agents shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting. 

Section 8.07. Action Upon Default. The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of
any failure to satisfy any conditions in Article IV, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure
of such conditions, it shall promptly notify the Agents and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and Required
Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate any Secured Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales
or other dispositions of Collateral, or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral. 
 Section 8.08.
Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE AGENTS AND THE ISSUING BANK, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE LOAN PARTIES, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH
PERSON, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT). If the Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or
fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by the Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be
promptly reimbursed to the Administrative Agent by each Lender to the extent of its pro rata share. 
 Section 8.09.
Successor Agent and Co-Agents. 
 (a) Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (and Collateral Agent) which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no
Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (i) or (j) exists) Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the Administrative Agent’s (and the Collateral Agent’s)
resignation, then the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it, which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of its
appointment hereunder, 

  
 147








 
such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) without further act, and the
retiring the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 (b) Co-Collateral Agent. If necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent (and the
Collateral Agent) may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right and remedy intended to be available to the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) under the Loan
Document shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) may request to effect such appointment. If an agent shall dissolve, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) until appointment of a new
agent. 
 (c) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its
resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all Revolving L/C Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Fronting Exposure. If Bank of America
resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans. Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a
Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline
Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Revolving Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Revolving Letters of Credit. 

Section 8.10. Individual Capacities. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. The Agents, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, 

  
 148








 
provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if they were not Agent or Lenders

Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent) in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations and Hedging Obligations.

Full Payment of the Obligations. Other than as set forth herein this Article VIII does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between Borrowers and the Agents, any action that any Agents may take under any Loan

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any
administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in
this paragraph.

L/C Disbursements owing to it); provided that (H) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (I) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (J) the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement
or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other
agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree that each


  
 153








 
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were the
Lender from whom it obtained its participation (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirement to provide documentation under Section 2.17(e)) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Revolver Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Revolving
Facility Loans, Revolving Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Revolving Facility Loans, Revolving Letters of Credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register 
 (i) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with Holdings’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and Holdings may withhold its consent if a Participant would be entitled to require greater payment than the applicable
Lender under such Sections. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement and its promissory note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 9.04, (i) guarantees, collateral security agreements, pledge agreements and related documents (if any) executed by the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and/or waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers (or the Lead Borrower 

  
 154








 
on behalf of Borrowers) without the input or need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders to (x) comply with local law or advice of local counsel or (y) to cause such guarantees,
collateral security agreements, pledge agreement or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Revolving
Facility Lender (other than, in the case of Section 2.20, each applicable New Revolving Facility Lender), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Sections 2.20 or 2.23 and (iii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error
or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision solely to address such
matter as reasonably determined by them acting jointly. 
 Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. 

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Agents in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and
ongoing Collateral examination, appraisals and field examinations and the preparation of reports based thereon and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or
in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not such transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or
protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the reasonable and documented expenses of Paul Hastings LLP and the reasonable and documented allocated costs of internal counsel for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender); provided that, absent any conflict of interest, the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall not be entitled to indemnification for the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one counsel in each jurisdiction. 

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective
directors, trustees, officers, employees, investment advisors, agents, affiliates and assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of the Commitment Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Revolving Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to
any of the foregoing, whether or 

  
 155








 
not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of contract or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, an Indemnitee and its Related
Parties as a single Indemnitee) as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of
Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Real Property, any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any property at which Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries has sent Hazardous Wastes for treatment, storage or disposal, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of contract or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or would have
arisen as against the Indemnitee regardless of this Agreement or any Borrowings hereunder. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable to any Loan Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages. The provisions of this
Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations under the Loan
Documents, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of the Commitment Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under
this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action,
claim or other proceeding for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of their choice at its expense (in which case the Borrowers shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an
Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding a Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding,
each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, claim or proceeding, and such Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use
of counsel chosen by such Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action, claim or proceeding include both such Borrower
and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to such Borrower (in which case such Borrower shall not have the right
to assume the defense or such action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) such Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably 

  
 156








 
satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, claim or proceeding; or (iv) such Borrower shall authorize in writing
such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at such Borrower’s expense. Such Borrower will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims, actions or proceedings if the settlement is entered into
without such Borrower’s consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims, actions or proceedings against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee; provided, that such
Borrower will have no such consent right if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (d) This
Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from non-Tax claims (and taking into account any associated Tax benefits in determining such losses or damages). 

Section 9.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary incorporated in the United States of America of any jurisdiction therein, against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties,
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan
Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such
Issuing Bank may have. 
 Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. No failure or delay of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. 

  
 157








 (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof
may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Collateral Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders (or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Loan Document); provided, however, that no
such agreement shall 
 (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or
decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any Revolving L/C Disbursement without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions or
“most favored nation” provisions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i), 
 (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or Revolving L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it
being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender), 

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan, Revolving L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the
prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, 
 (iv) amend or modify the
provisions of Section 2.26(b), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, 
 (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “Super-Majority Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby, or 
 (vi) subject to Section 9.18, release all or substantially all of
the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Document Guarantee of the Subsidiary Loan Parties, taken as a whole, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby; 
 provided, further; that (x) the consent of Super-Majority Lenders shall be required to amend, modify,
supplement, waive or otherwise change, as applicable (A) the definition of “Availability” and “Excess Availability,” or (B) definition of Borrowing Base (including any applicable advance rates) and any defined terms
which appear in the definition of “Borrowing Base” and would have the effect of increasing Availability or the Borrowing Base (it being understood that the establishment, modification or elimination of reserves and adjustment,
establishment and elimination of criteria for Eligible Accounts Receivable and 

  
 158








 
Eligible Inventory, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof will not be deemed to require the consent of the Super-Majority Lenders); and (y) that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as
applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 

(b) Without the consent of any Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the
granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Finance Parties (and potentially other Secured Parties), or as required by local
law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Finance Parties (and potentially other Secured Parties), in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers (ii) 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 there to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in
any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 (d) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming
modification to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any New Term Commitments, New Commitments or facilities provided pursuant to
Section 9.08(d) or Section 9.08(e) on substantially the same basis as the Loans and any then existing Term Loans, or on customary terms for term loans, as applicable. 

Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable
interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise
contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender
or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 

  
 159








 Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. 
 Section 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 

Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall
endeavour in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or an electronic
transmission of a PDF copy thereof shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original; provided, however, that any such delivery shall be followed promptly by delivery of the manually signed original. 

Section 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 
 (a) Each
of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction 

  
 160








 
of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any
parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at the address specified for the Loan Parties in Section 9.01, or in accordance with the following sentence. Each Borrower appoints Lead Borrower (the
“Process Agent”) as its agent for service of process in relation to any action or proceeding in such courts and agrees that failure by the Process Agent to notify the relevant Borrower of any process will not invalidate the
proceedings concerned. In the event the Process Agent is unable to act as a Borrower’s agent for service of process for any reason, the relevant Borrower will immediately appoint another process agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect any right that any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or any Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in
any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

Section 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in
confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers and their other Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (other
than information that (x) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Agreement, (y) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent
without violating this Section 9.16 or (z) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s actual knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Borrowers
or any other Subsidiary or any such Affiliate) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender
or Issuing Bank (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the
regulatory or supervisory requirements of any Governmental Authority (including bank examiners), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the
disclosing party are listed or traded, 

  
 161








 
(ii) as part of reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities (including bank examiners) or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (iii) to its parent
companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (iv) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal
proceeding, (v) to any actual or prospective assignee of, or actual or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this
Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16) and (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedge Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this
Section 9.16). If a Lender, an Issuing Bank or an Agent is requested or required to disclose any such information (other than to its bank examiners and similar regulators, internal or external auditors) pursuant to or as required by law
or legal process or subpoena to the extent reasonably practicable, it shall give prompt notice thereof to Holdings so that Holdings may seek an appropriate protective order and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent will cooperate with Holdings (or the
applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate) in seeking such protective order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and
advertising purposes, and with the Lead Borrower’s written consent, may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials for such purposes . 

Section 9.17. Communications. Delivery. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to provide to
the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all notices, requests,
financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of
credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m. (CST) on the scheduled date therefor,
(C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit
hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address
referenced in Section 9.01(a)(ii). Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Loan Party to give any notice or
other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (i) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of
the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e mail address to which
the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e mail address. 

  
 162








 (b) Posting. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make
the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on an electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 
 (c) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the
Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any
kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission
of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.18. Release of Liens and Guarantees. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, automatically and without the need for any
further action by any person (or, if automatic release is not permitted in accordance with any applicable law, upon request to the Collateral Agent by Holdings or the relevant Loan Party): 

(i) the Liens on the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured
Party) be released: (A) in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any portion of the Collateral which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances, at the time of such event; (B) in part, as to any
property that is sold, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of by any Loan Party (other than to any other Loan Party) in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.03 or Section 6.06, at the time of such sale, transfer or
disposition (which, in connection with sale and leaseback transactions and novations and any refinancings thereof shall include the assets which are the subject of such sale and leaseback transactions, novations and/or refinancings, assets and

 (c) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents
as may be reasonably requested by the applicable Loan Party and at such Loan Party’s expense to evidence or effect any release or termination provided for in this Section 9.18. 

(d) Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any Equity Interests or assets shall no longer be
deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of. 

Section 9.19. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and Similar Legislation. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby notifies each Loan Party that
pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “U.S.A. PATRIOT
Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify such Loan Party in
accordance with such legislation. Each Loan Party agrees to furnish such information promptly upon request of a Lender. Each Lender shall be responsible for satisfying its own requirements in respect of obtaining all such information. 

Section 9.20. Judgment. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder
in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent


  
 164








 
could purchase the first mentioned currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is
given. 
 Section 9.21. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for
purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Each Borrower hereby agrees that subject to applicable law, nothing in the Loan Documents
or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and Borrower, their stockholders or their Affiliates. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to
such transaction none of the Lenders is acting as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan
Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising such Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to
any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) each Borrower and other Loan party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Borrower further
acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. 
 Section 9.22. Joint and Several Obligations.  
 (a) Each of the
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents with respect to all Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers actually receives the proceeds of the Loans or the benefit of any other
extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of the Issuing Banks account therefore in their respective books and records. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, (i) each Borrower’s obligations and liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans which it receives or Letters of Credit issued for its account, and related fees, costs and expenses, and (ii) each Borrower’s
obligations and liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to proceeds of Loans received by, or Letters of Credit issued for the account of, any of the other Borrowers, together with
the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be separate and distinct obligations, both of which are primary obligations of such Borrower. Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, the joint and several liability of any of the Borrowers
shall not be impaired or released by (A) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank, any successors or assigns thereof, or any holder of any Note or any of the Obligations to assert any claim
or demand or to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy against the Lead Borrower, any Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral or otherwise; (B) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not
longer than the original period) or exchange of any of the Obligations or the release or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with respect thereto; (C) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any property
(including without 

  
 165








 
limitation the Collateral) securing payment, performance and/or observance of any of the Obligations or the compromise or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the
original period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with respect to any such property; (D) any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any other event or
condition with respect to any other Borrower, including any such action or inaction or other event or condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or all
of the Obligations; and (E) any other act, matter or thing (other than payment or performance of the Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release, discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the
obligations of such Borrower or any other Borrower. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in
any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law) then the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under
applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code). 
 (c) To the extent that any
Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 9.22 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other
Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same
proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of
such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each
other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower
shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 9.22 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. This Section 9.22 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in
this Section 9.22(c) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Section 9.22 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and Expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be
primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers
against other Credit Parties under this Section 9.22 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. 

  
 166








 (d) The liability of Borrowers under this Section 9.22 is in addition to and
shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party, without any limitation as to amount. 

Section 9.23. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of
perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative
Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof; and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise
deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 

  
 167








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Credit Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer or other representative as of the day and year first above written.
