 (v) If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the 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 Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing 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 a Base Rate Borrowing. 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 Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as
a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

 Section 2.06 Agreement to Repay Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.07. 

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and 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 Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section 2.06 shall be prima facie evidence 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 the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory
note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) 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 2.07 Repayment of Term

 (a) Subject to the other paragraphs of this Section, 

(i) the Borrower shall repay Term B Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth

the Borrower shall repay such Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Incremental Assumption Agreement (each such date being referred to as an “Incremental Term Loan Installment Date”); and

 (iii) to the extent not previously paid, outstanding Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Facility
Maturity Date. 

  
 - 46 -









 (b) Prepayment of the Term Loans from: 

(i) all Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.08(c) and Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.08(d) shall be
applied to the Term Loans pro rata among the Term Facilities, with the application thereof reducing in direct order the remaining installments thereof in forward order of maturity. 

(ii) any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may
direct. 
 (iii) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(f) shall be
applied in inverse order of maturity. 
 (c) Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or
(d) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term B Loans and Other Term Loans, if any, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans and Other Term Loans, if any
(unless, with respect to Other Term Loans, the Incremental Assumption Agreement relating thereto does not so require), irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that if no
Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(e), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, prior to the repayment of any Term Loan, the Borrower may select the Borrowing or
Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date
of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.
Repayments of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. 

Section 2.08 Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 2.08(b), and subject to
Section 3.05), 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, subject to prior notice in accordance with the below, which
notice shall be irrevocable except to the extent conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of the Facilities. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall be made upon notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone (and if in writing shall be appropriately signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time (x) three Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the applicable Facility and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans, and if such prepayment will be made in connection with a Change in Control. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written prepayment notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the applicable Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan under this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. 

  
 - 47 -









 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower makes any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) hereof, the Borrower shall on the date of such prepayment pay to each Lender 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term
Loans so prepaid; provided that any prepayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement of any Term Loans made in connection with a Change in Control shall not require the payment of the 1.00% premium otherwise provided for in this
Section 2.08(b). 
 (c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds (other than any
Net Proceeds from the sale or disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral) promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Term Loans in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 2.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may
retain Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof, provided, that the Total Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio on the last day of the Borrower’s then most recently completed fiscal quarter for which financial statements
are available shall be less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00. 
 (d) Not later than 95 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow
Period, the Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period and shall apply an amount equal to (x) the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow, minus (y) the sum of the amount of any voluntary prepayments
during such Excess Cash Flow Period of Indebtedness of the Borrower secured by first priority Liens, including the Loans and the ABL Loans, on property or assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (provided that, in the case of the prepayment of
Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement or other revolving loans, as applicable, the amount of such prepayments in any Excess Cash Flow Period shall be measured in the aggregate by adding all borrowings and subtracting all prepayments under the
ABL Credit Agreement or other revolving loans, as applicable, over the period commencing on the first day of such Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of such Excess Cash Flow Period), to prepay Term Loans in accordance with paragraphs
(b) and (c) of Section 2.07, provided that, for purposes of this Section 2.08(d), Discounted Voluntary Prepayments and Permitted Loan Purchases will not qualify as voluntary prepayments of Term Loans. Not later than the date on
which the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period under Section 6.04(a), the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of
the Borrower setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. 
 (e) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term
Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower elects (or is otherwise required) to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment
and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the second Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date
(it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date,
not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable
Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (each, a 

  
 - 48 -









 
“Declining Lender”), to prepay the Term Loans of such Declining Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in
accordance with Section 2.07(b) and (c)), and (ii) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option, to the Borrower. 

(f) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.08(a), 2.11(c) or 3.04, the Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay Term Loans to the Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this
Section 2.08(f), provided that the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower stating (1) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (after giving effect to any related waivers or amendments obtained in connection with such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment), (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment contained in this Section 2.08(f) has been satisfied and (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. 

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice
to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by
the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000. The
Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage)
selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans (the “Discount Range”), (C) the source of proceeds to be used to make
such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and (D) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the
Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”). 
 (iii) Upon receipt of a
Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit G
hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par
of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans held by such Lender with respect
to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans specified by the Lenders in the
applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the applicable discount for Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the
percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.08(f)(ii)) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower can pay
the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however,


  
 - 49 -









 
that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by
the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Voluntary Discounted Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with
outstanding Loans whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par
value within the Applicable Discount. 
 (iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by
prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying
Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the
Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such
Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate
proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans. 

(v) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 3.05),
upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M. Local time, three Business Days prior to
the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary
Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to
the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. 

(vi) On the date of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary (as applicable) shall
represent and warrant to all Lenders participating in such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment that, as of such date, neither it nor any of its respective directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the
Borrower or the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective securities, that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than because such Term Lenders do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the
Borrower or the Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to such Lender’s decision to
participate in such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, provided that no such representation or warranty shall be required to be made to Affiliated Loan Funds participating Discounted Voluntary Prepayment; 

  
 - 50 -









 (vii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.08(f)(iii) above) established by
the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower. 
 (viii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted
Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice. 

(ix) Lenders may not modify, revoke or terminate or cancel a Lender Participation Notice delivered to the Administrative
Agent; provided that a Lender may modify a Lender Participation Notice, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date, solely to increase the Acceptable Discount included in such Lender Participation Notice. 

Section 2.09 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Administrative Agent, the agency fees set forth in Section 5 of the Engagement Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent
Fees”). 
 (b) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Once paid, none of the Fees
shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.10 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each
Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.25% plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. 

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period and (y) 1.25% plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate (the “Default Rate”) per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section;
provided, that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date; provided, that
(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year, and in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day). The applicable Base Rate, Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or Eurodollar Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 Section 2.11 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set offs.
(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local
Time, 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 Borrower by the Administrative
Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 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 under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by
the time required if the 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 the
Administrative Agent to make such payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising
any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (i) Term Credit Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (x) the amount of such Term Credit Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Term Credit Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
at such time) of payments on account of the Term Credit Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time or (ii) Term Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Term Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (y) the
aggregate amount of the Term Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Term Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Term Credit Obligations then due and payable
to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that: 

  
 - 52 -









 (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 Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower pursuant to any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment under Section 2.08(f) or to any other payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of
funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the
Borrower unless, in the case of an assignment of Loans to the Borrower, such assignment is made in accordance with Section 10.06 hereof. 
 Borrower consents to the foregoing Section 2.11(c) and agrees, 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 any Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon Local Time on the date of such 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 Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest
paid by 

  
 - 53 -









 
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.12 Incremental Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from
time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their own
discretion. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental
Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”), (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Term B Loan Commitments
or commitments to make term loans with pricing and/or amortization terms different from the Term B Loans (“Other Term Loans”). 
 (b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided, that (i) the Other
Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Term B Loans and, except as to pricing, amortization and final maturity date, shall have (x) the same terms as the Term B Loans, as applicable, or
(y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, only with respect to Other Term Loans incurred within eighteen months after the Closing Date, if the initial yield on the Other Term
Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent as set forth below) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being herein referred to as the “Yield Differential”) the interest rate
margins then in effect for outstanding Term Loans (which shall be calculated to be the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans increased by the amount that any “Eurodollar floor” applicable to such
Eurodollar Rate Loans on such date would exceed the Eurodollar Base Rate that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date plus (B) all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid by the Borrower
generally to the Lenders who provided the outstanding Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for outstanding Term Loans shall automatically be
increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Incremental Term Loans under the Incremental Term Loan Commitment, (ii) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term B Facility Maturity
Date, and (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loans. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of
any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in
Section 10.01. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto, it being understood that such
Incremental Assumption Agreement may, without the consent of the other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the
provisions of this Section 2.12. 
 For purposes of clause (i) above, the initial yield on any Incremental Term Loan
Commitment shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the interest rate margin above the Eurodollar Rate for loans under the Incremental Term Loan Commitment that bear


  
 - 54 -









 
interest based on the Eurodollar Rate (which shall be increased by the amount that any “Eurodollar floor” applicable to such Incremental Term Loans on the date such Incremental Term
Loans are made would exceed the Eurodollar Rate that would be in effect for a three month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if the Incremental Term Loan Commitment is originally advanced at a discount or the Lenders making the
same receive a fee directly or indirectly from Holdings or the Borrower for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment, being referred to herein as “OID”), the
amount of such OID divided by four). 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become
effective under this Section 2.12 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 5.01 shall be satisfied or waived and the Administrative Agent shall have received
a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and
documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.02 and such additional customary documents
and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that the Incremental Term Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with
(or, to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the existing Term B Loans, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would
result therefrom, and (iv) before and after giving effect to any Incremental Term Loans (including any Other Term Loan), the aggregate par principal amount directly held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not, collectively, exceed 25.0% of the
aggregate par principal of the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans (including any Incremental Term Loans). 

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to
ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans) in the form of additional Term B Loans, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term B Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that
Section 3.05 shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. 
 Section 2.13 Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a)
Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion 

  
 - 55 -









 
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and
released pro-rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro-rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion agree in writing that a
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent
applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro-rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with
their percentages (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower 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
Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

Section 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 
 (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.
For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Laws” includes FATCA. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or Loan Party) require the deduction or withholding of any
Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered
pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

  
 - 56 -









 (ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the
Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined
by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the
applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been made. 
 (iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the
Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan
Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws and (C) to the extent that the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including
deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been
made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above,
the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications. 
 (i) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.01(a), each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or
paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender. 
 (ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment
in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and 

  
 - 57 -









 
without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each
case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply
any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment
of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case
may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under
any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B), (ii)(C) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the
legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner
for U.S. Federal tax purposes, is owned by a U.S. Person) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or such U.S. Person, as applicable, is
exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; 

  
 - 58 -









 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for
U.S. Federal tax purposes, the person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes) eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document,
duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable
payments under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty; 
 (2) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to such Foreign
Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes, with respect to the person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes); 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for
U.S. Federal tax purposes, the person treated as its owner for Federal tax purposes) entitled to the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender (or, if such Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for
U.S. Federal tax purposes, the person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes) is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more
direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and
indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender 

  
 - 59 -









 
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed
by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made
to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly
(x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower, Holdings and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction,
and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable
Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower, Holdings or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or
have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect
to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party
under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required
to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party 

  
 - 60 -









 
in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other person. 
 (g) Survival. Each
party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Term Credit Obligations. 
 Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender
determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Base Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate, the
interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for
such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent prior to a
Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, or a conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (iii) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will as promptly as 

  
 - 61 -









 
practicable so notify the Borrower (by telephone and/or facsimile) and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Base Rate Loan to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or the continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be ineffective, (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (z) in the event of
a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Base Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Rate
Borrowing, conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified
therein. 
 Section 3.04 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) (except any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate hereunder); or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or the London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result
of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its applicable Lending
Office or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration

compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the

 (d) Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except 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). 
 (e) The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not apply with
respect to Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 3.01. 
 Section 3.05 Compensation for
Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 (i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other
than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (ii) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the
amount notified by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; or 
 (iii) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.14; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or, other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any event gives rise to the operation of Section 3.02,
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as
applicable, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined

Agreement or the relevant Security Document and subject to such limitations and restrictions as are set forth herein and therein) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or
priority results from the limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they apply to pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries or the application thereof, or from the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain possession of

Section 2.13, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 
 FIRST, to payment of that
portion of the Finance Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as such; 
 SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Finance Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders or any Hedge Bank (including amounts payable under Article III and fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the
Loan Documents or any Secured Hedge Agreement, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Hedge Bank. Each Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the
terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. 
 ARTICLE IX

 THE AGENCY PROVISIONS 
 Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article IX, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent, and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as
a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except as expressly provided in Section 9.06). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “Agent” or “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other
similar term) with reference to an Agent, is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between the contracting parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including
releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the 

  
 - 107 -









 
Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents, and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim,
action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. 

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of,
act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01), provided that no Agent shall be
required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation
of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents,
neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary or as such Agent shall in good faith believe to be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01, or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or
a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Each
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have 

  
 - 108 -









 
received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and
other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more subagents appointed by it. Each
Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such subagent and to the
Related Parties of each Agent and any such subagent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility as well as activities as Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any subagents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such subagents. 

Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the
“Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such
bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the Resignation Effective Date, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of
such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The
Administrative Agent Fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as
Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Engagement Parties are named as such
for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Engagement
Parties shall be entitled to all indemnification and 

  
 - 109 -









 
reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Engagement Parties, in their respective capacities as
such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other person. 
 Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of
any Loan or Term Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated)
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Term Credit Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and each Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and each Agent under Sections 2.09 and
10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; 
 (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and 
 (iii) and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 Section 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Collateral
Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion: 
 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to, or held
by, the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) on or after the date that the Term Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations as to which no claim has been made) have been paid in full and the Commitments have been
terminated, (y) with respect to any property that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents or (z) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as shall be required hereunder); 
 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to, or held by, the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.02(a), (c),
(i) or (j); 
 (iii) to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, and any other intercreditor
agreement necessary or desirable to permit the incurrence by the Loan Parties of secured indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder with the priority permitted hereunder, and perform its obligations and duties, and exercise its rights and
remedies, thereunder; and 

  
 - 110 -









 (iv) to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents
if such person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or otherwise is not required to remain a Loan Party. 
 In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Subsidiary Loan
Party from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10. 
 (b) Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing, the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or
items of property, or to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.10. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for, or have a duty to, ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of any Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor
or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Finance Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including any sale or
disposition conducted under a plan of reorganization), any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties
(but not any Lender or Hedge Bank in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to
use and apply any of the Finance Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a
party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and the Guarantees of the Finance Obligations provided under the Guaranty Agreement, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are
for the sole benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party. 
 Section 9.11 Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any Guaranty or any Security Document, no Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of
Section 8.01, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of
the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to
the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Finance Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent
has received written notice of such Finance Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.

 ARTICLE X 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing
signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent or ratification of the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be specified herein) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the
case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that (x) the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower may, with the consent of the other, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, typographical error, mistake, defect or inconsistency if such amendment, modification or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights of any Agent or any Lender, to comply with local law or the advice of local counsel or to cause one or more Loan Documents to be consistent with other Loan Documents and (y) no such amendment, waiver or
consent shall: 
 (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated
pursuant to Section 8.01) without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (ii) postpone any date fixed by
this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal, interest or fees due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender
directly and adversely affected thereby; 
 (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified
herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (ii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate; 

(iv) change Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the
written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 
 (v) change any provision of this
Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant
any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (vi) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(vii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, except to
the extent the release of any Subsidiary from the Guaranty is permitted pursuant to Section 9.10 (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone); 

  
 - 112 -









 and provided, further, that: (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing
and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent which would require
the consent of a Lender but for the fact that it is a Defaulting Lender shall be enforced against it without its consent; and (iii) Section 5 of the Engagement Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing
executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its
terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or
extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately more adversely relative to
other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional term loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit the Lenders providing such additional credit facilities to
participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Required Lenders or by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification
Offer”) to all the Lenders under one or more of the Facilities (each Facility subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Facility”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to
procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted
Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice) (or such shorter periods as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments
shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Lenders under the Affected Facility that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender,
only with respect to such Lender’s Loans under such Affected Facility as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent giving effect to the Permitted Amendment (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the
acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon
the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to
the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders under the Affected Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this paragraph unless the Administrative Agent shall have received any corporate
documents, officers’ certificates or legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.02 reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. As used in this paragraph, “Permitted Amendments”
shall be limited to (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders (provided that such extension may not result in having more than two additional final maturity dates in any year, or more
than 

  
 - 113 -









 
three additional final maturity dates at any time, under this Agreement without the consent of the Administrative Agent), (ii) a reduction, elimination or extension, of the scheduled
amortization of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) a change in rate of interest (including a change to the Applicable Rate and any provision establishing a minimum rate), premium, or other amount with respect to the applicable
Loans of the Accepting Lenders and/or a change in the payment of fees to the Accepting Lenders (such change and/or payments to be in the form of cash, Equity Interests or other property to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement) and
(iv) any other amendment to a Loan Document required to give effect to the Permitted Amendments described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this sentence. 
 If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent, release, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that, pursuant to
the terms of this Section 10.01, requires the consent of each Lender (or each affected Lender) and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.14.

 Section 10.02 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication. 

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone
(and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
facsimile as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the Borrower). 
 Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications
sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient).
Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such
Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications
to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

  
 - 114 -









 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause
(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the
normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. 

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES
IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON
STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING 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 SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet. 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to
notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other
communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side
Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United
States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect
to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

  
 - 115 -









 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic or electronic Borrowing Request) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such person on any notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent in relying on any notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower, such Lender or Related Party, as applicable, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or by the Administrative Agent to
exercise, and no delay by any such person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided and provided under each other Loan Document are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively
in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11) or (iii) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its
own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, then (x) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding
proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

Section 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and,
if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the


  
 - 116 -









 
reasonable prior approval of the Borrower) or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of any special counsel (limited to one firm for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders unless, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent or any such Lender seeking reimbursement, such joint representation would be inappropriate due to the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the
case may be, shall inform the Borrower of such conflict and the Borrower shall reimburse the legal fees and expenses of no more than such number of additional outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as is necessary to avoid any
actual or potential conflict of interest) and local counsel (limited to one firm for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction unless, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender seeking
reimbursement, such joint representation would be inappropriate due to the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as the case may be, shall inform the Borrower of such
conflict and the Borrower shall reimburse the legal fees and expenses of no more than such number of additional outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as is necessary to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest) for
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection
with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 

(b) Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Agents, the
Joint Lead Arrangers, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel) unless, in the
reasonable opinion of any such Indemnitee seeking indemnity, such joint representation would be inappropriate due to the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case such Indemnitee or Indemnitees, as the case may be,
shall inform the Borrower of such conflict and the Borrower shall reimburse the legal fees and expenses of no more than such number of additional outside counsel for the Indemnitees as is necessary to avoid any actual or potential conflict of
interest), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties, the administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01)), (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its
respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee) or (y) any material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing


  
 - 117 -









 
sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any claim related in any way to Environmental Laws and Holdings, the Borrower 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 Property; 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 by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the (1) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (2) any material breach of any Loan Document by such
Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related
Parties shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any
other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim). The provisions of this Section 10.04 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 Term Credit Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any
reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that
Holdings and the Borrower for any reason fail indefeasibly to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it or them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be
made severally among them based on such Lenders’ percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Facility (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided that, the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of
any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(a). 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Loan Party shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to
in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic


  
 - 118 -









 
or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an
indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 10.04. 

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 10.02(e) shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments of all the Lenders and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Term Credit Obligations. 

Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment
in full of the Term Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.06 Successors and
Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(e). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer, shall be construed to confer, or shall confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided
in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) (x) any assignment of any Loans or Commitments
to an Affiliated Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 10.06(f) and (y) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

  
 - 119 -









 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any
Facility and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate
or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
 (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing under Section 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i), the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities and any facilities provided pursuant the second
paragraph of Section 10.01 on a non-pro rata basis. 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent
shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.01(b),
(c), (h) or (i) at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary
syndication of the Term B Facility. 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Term B Commitment if such assignment is to a person that is not a Lender with a Term B Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term B Loan to a person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, the Borrower or an Affiliated Lender. 

  
 - 120 -









 (iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) except in compliance with
the requirements of Section 10.06(g), to any Loan Party, (B) except in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.06(f), to an Affiliated Lender, (C) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, (D) to any
natural person or (E) absent the consent of the Borrower, to an Ineligible Institution. 
 (vi)
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth
herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of
participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting
Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest
accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then
the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this
Section 10.06. 
 (c) Register. (i) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent
of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each 

  
 - 121 -









 
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, (i) any Lender may
request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register and (ii) upon request of the Administrative Agent and receipt of a list of the names of each person named as a Lender in the then current Register, the Borrowers and
Holdings will identify to the Administrative Agent each such Lender which is an Affiliated Lender. 
 (ii) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax
forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 10.06 (unless waived in accordance with such paragraph) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(iii) of this
Section 10.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (c)(ii). 
 (d)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any person (other than a natural person, a known Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or
any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender
shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. 
 Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant and requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall
be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.14 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate


  
 - 122 -









 
the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it
were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans
or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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. 

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (f)
Affiliated Lender Assignments. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 10.06(b);
provided that: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result
therefrom; 
 (ii) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance”) in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance; and

 (iii) no Term Loan may be assigned to a Affiliated Lender pursuant to this
Section 10.06(b)(i), if after giving effect to such assignment, Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) in the aggregate would own in excess of 25.0 % of all Term Loans then outstanding. 

Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of
determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom,
(B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan
Document or (D) voted on any plan of reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code, that in any case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender
disproportionately in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter. Furthermore, each Affiliated Lender
hereby acknowledges, 

  
 - 123 -









 
agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code is not deemed to have been voted as set above, then such vote
will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of Title 11 of the United States Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or
rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code. Affiliated Loan Funds shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph, and shall be entitled to vote as any other Lender;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Affiliated Loan Funds may not in the aggregate account for more than 50.0% of the amounts set forth in the calculation of Required Lenders, and any amount in
excess of 50.0% will be subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 
 No Affiliated Lender will have any right
(i) to attend (including by telephone) or receive notice of any meeting, conference call, correspondence or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not
invited or to have access to the Platform (including, without limitation, that portion of the Platform that has been designated for “private-side” Lenders), or (ii) to receive any information or material provided solely to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in
any case, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders), or (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a
passive participant in or recipient of its pro-rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent
under the Loan Documents. 
 (g) Permitted Loan Purchases. The Borrower may purchase by way of assignment and
become an Assignee with respect to Term Loans at any time, from Lenders in accordance with Section 10.06(b) hereof (“Permitted Loan Purchases”) provided that (A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower stating (1) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Permitted Loan Purchase, (2) that each of the conditions contained
in this Section 10.06(g) has been satisfied and (3) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be purchased (and the purchase price(s) paid therefore), (B) upon consummation of any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Loans
purchased pursuant thereto shall be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and extinguished in accordance with Section 10.06(h) and (C) in connection with any such Permitted Loan Purchase, the Borrower and such Lender that is
the Assignor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
Section 10.06(b)) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to Assignments under this Section 10.06. 
 (h) Each
Permitted Loan Purchase shall, for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Term Loans and the Borrower shall, upon consummation of any Permitted Loan Purchase, notify the
Administrative Agent that the Register should be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans. 

Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (i) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any applicable regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such person or its Related Parties


  
 - 124 -









 
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially the same (and at least as restrictive) as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related
Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the obligations under this Agreement, (vii) (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the
credit facilities provided hereunder, (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder or
(C) any settlement or administrative service providers, in each case on a confidential basis, (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Parent Entity, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Parent Entity, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Parent Entity, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Parent Entity, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 10.07 supersede the confidentiality provisions set forth in the second sentence of Section 11 of the Engagement Letter.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Assignment and Acceptance, the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall survive with respect to the Administrative Agent and each Lender until the second
anniversary of the Administrative Agent or Lender ceasing to be the Administrative Agent or a Lender, respectively. 
 Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning any Parent Entity, Holdings, the Borrower or one or more Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws. 

Section 10.08 Platform; Borrower Materials. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the
Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Holdings and the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may
have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities
with respect to such persons’ securities. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and
that: (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have 

  
 - 125 -









 
authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and
proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or any Parent Entity’s securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be
treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information:
(A) the Loan Documents, (B) notifications of changes in the terms of this Agreement and (C) financial statements and accompanying information and certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 6.04(a) through (c), excluding the
certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.04(c)(x)(i). 
 Section 10.09 Right of Setoff. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall
be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Finance Obligations owing to such Defaulting
Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application. 
 Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Term Credit
Obligations hereunder.

 Section 10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means
(e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any
other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default at the time of any Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Term Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

Section 10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

Section 10.14 Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06), all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(i) unless waived, the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified
in Section 10.06(b); 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
par principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 3.05 and (solely in the case of Non-Consenting Lenders)
2.08(b)) from such assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 - 127 -









 (iii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent, as
applicable, by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 10.14 may be effected
pursuant to, and recorded on the Register after execution of, an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto. Each Lender
agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment
and Acceptance. Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
