subsidiary of the Borrower (the “Purchaser”), of all the capital stock of the Target from the Seller, after which the Target and its subsidiaries will be direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Borrower. 

You have further advised us that the total funds needed to (a) finance the Acquisition, (b) refinance certain existing indebtedness

Agreement, as described in the Summary of Terms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Incremental Term Loan Facility Term Sheet”); 

(ii) if the Required Amendments are not obtained prior to the Launch Date, senior secured first lien credit facilities in the
amount of up to $1,125 million for the Borrower consisting of (A) a first lien term loan facility in the amount of up to $1,025 million (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), and (B) a first lien revolving credit
facility in the amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “First Lien Credit Facilities” and together with the Incremental
Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”), each as described in the Summary of Terms attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “First Lien Credit Facilities Term Sheet”); and 

(iii) cash on hand. 

In connection with the Acquisition, it is intended that the Borrower will seek an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the

payment of fees, commissions and expenses in connection with each of the foregoing. This letter, including the Term Sheets and the Conditions Annex attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Conditions Annex”), is hereinafter

with respect to the Facilities in consultation with you and the other Lead Arrangers, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final
allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. Subject to clause (c) below and effective only upon the funding of the 

  
 -5- 








 
Facilities on the Closing Date, in connection with the syndication of each of the Facilities, as each new Lender is added to any Facility, the commitments of each Initial Lender to such Facility
shall be reduced pro rata based on their respective commitments to such Facility. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Facilities will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained
herein and in the applicable Term Sheet. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lead Arrangers. 

(c) Notwithstanding the right of the Lead Arrangers to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto or to assign
their respective commitments hereunder, (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder, including its obligation to fund its commitment to the respective applicable Facilities on the Closing Date, in
connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of any of such Facilities, including its commitment in respect thereof, until funding of such Facilities on the Closing Date and (ii) each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive
control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the respective applicable Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has
occurred, in each case unless you otherwise agree in writing. Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder are not conditioned
upon the syndication of the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of the syndication of the Facilities, nor your compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 or any other provision of this
Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (in each case, other than the provisions of the Conditions Annex), constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date. 

(d) The provisions of this Section 4 shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (i) 90 days following the Closing
Date, (ii) the completion of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) on or after the Closing Date and (iii) the termination of this Commitment Letter pursuant to the last paragraph hereof other than as a result of the

and resources that the Commitment Parties will devote to the Facilities, you agree that, until the occurrence of the Syndication Assistance Termination Date (but in any event, not prior to the Acquisition Closing Date if the commitments hereunder
are still outstanding), you will not, and will cause your subsidiaries not to (and will use your commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and in all instances subject to, and not in contravention of, the Purchase Agreement as in
effect on the date hereof, to cause the Target and its subsidiaries not to), solicit, initiate, entertain or permit, or enter into any discussions in respect of, any offering, placement or arrangement of any competing indebtedness or bank financing

its subsidiaries, this representation, warranty and covenant is made only to your knowledge), it being understood and agreed that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the

all material respects on the Closing Date and, if applicable, on such later date on which the syndication of the Facilities is completed as if the Information were being furnished, and such representations, warranties and covenants were being made,
on such date. In issuing this commitment, and in soliciting consents to the Amendment and arranging and syndicating the Facilities, each Commitment Party is and will be using and relying on the Information without independent verification thereof.

“MNPI”) with respect to you, the Target or any of your 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
entities’ securities. If requested, you will assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information and Information Materials not containing MNPI (the “Public Information Materials”) to be distributed to
Existing Lenders and prospective Public Lenders. 
 (ii) Before distribution of any Information and Information Materials (A) to
Existing Lenders and prospective Private Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of such Information or Information Materials and (B) to Existing Lenders and prospective Public Lenders, you shall
provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of MNPI therefrom. In addition, at our request, you shall identify Public Information Materials by clearly and
conspicuously marking the same as “PUBLIC”. 
 (iii) You agree that the Commitment Parties, on your behalf, may distribute the
following documents to all Existing Lenders and prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Commitment Parties in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should only be
distributed to Private Lenders: (A) administrative materials for Existing Lenders and prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (B) notifications of changes to the Facilities’ terms and
(C) other materials intended for Existing Lenders and/or prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of the Information and Information Materials, including drafts and final versions of definitive documents with respect to the

litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party,

	Incremental Term Loans:	  	After the Closing Date, the Borrower will be permitted to increase the commitments under the Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans or add additional tranches of term loans as permitted under the Amended Credit
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Term Loans will have the benefit of the MFN provision (i.e. 50 bps MFN with no sunset) set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and applicable to Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement).
		
	Security:	  	Subject to the Limited Conditionality Provision, as security for the Incremental Term Loan Facility, valid and perfected first priority (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement) liens and security

	Optional Prepayments:	  	The Incremental Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in the section entitled “Call Protection” below), subject to reimbursement of the Incremental

	Call Protection:	  	Notwithstanding the foregoing section, if on or prior to the day that is six months after the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), a Repricing Event (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement) occurs, the Borrower will pay a premium (the “Call Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan that is subject to such Repricing Event. To

	Maturity:	  	The First Lien Term Loans shall be subject to repayment according to the Scheduled Amortization (as defined below), with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, being due seven (7) years after the

2.50x, and 0% when the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50x), provided that voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Term Loan Facility made during such fiscal year shall reduce Excess Cash Flow payments on a
dollar-for-dollar basis for such applicable fiscal year (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any voluntary prepayments funded with indebtedness), (b) 100% of all net cash proceeds from sales of property and assets and insurance and condemnation
events of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (excluding asset sales in the ordinary course of business and other thresholds and exceptions to be agreed upon in the loan documentation), subject to reinvestment in other assets useful in the business of
the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries within 365 days of such sale or insurance and condemnation event or, if so committed to reinvestment pursuant to a legally binding contract within such 365-day period, reinvested within 180 days after the end

be applied first, to the next four scheduled amortization payments of Incremental Term Loan Facility and the First Lien Term Loan Facility in direct order and thereafter to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Incremental Term Loan
Facility and the First Lien Term Loan Facility on a pro rata basis and then to the Revolving Credit Facility (without a permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder).
		
		  	In addition, if for any reason the outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall, no later than the next business day, prepay the loans outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
		
	Optional Prepayments:	  	The First Lien Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in the section entitled “Call Protection” below), subject to reimbursement of the Term Loan
Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in the case of prepayment of LIBOR borrowings. Each such prepayment of the First Lien Term Loans shall be applied to the principal installments thereof as directed by the Borrower.
		
		  	The Borrower may voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Revolving Credit Facility without premium, subject to concurrent payments of any applicable LIBOR or interest rate breakage costs.
		
	Call Protection:	  	Notwithstanding the foregoing section, if on or prior to the day that is six months after the Closing Date, a Repricing Event (to be defined in a manner substantially consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement) occurs, the
Borrower will pay a premium (the “Call Premium”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan that is subject to such Repricing Event.
		
	Conditions Precedent to Closing:	  	As set forth in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter.
		
	Conditions Precedent to All Borrowings After The Closing Date:	  	The conditions to all revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Letters of Credit after the Closing Date will consist

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.77 to 1.00, respectively, to the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio on the date hereof after giving pro forma effect to the consummation of the Transactions and to permit such ratio to be tested at the time the

	 	8.	Modify Section 7.03(b)(vii) of the Existing Credit Agreement to permit the consummation of the Acquisition without requiring compliance with the Pro Forma Leverage Test (as defined in the Existing Credit
Agreement).
