 ARTICLE II 

THE COMMITMENTS AND LOANS 

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving
Facility Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Facility Loans to the applicable Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Facility Borrowing, (i) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Revolving Facility Commitments,
(ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Revolving Facility Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and (iii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Borrowing Base. Within the
limits of each Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05 and
reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Facility Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans as further provided herein. 

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or e-mail. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Parent Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six (but not more than twelve) months in duration as provided
in the definition of “Interest Period” (an “Alternate Interest Period”), the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three
Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Alternate Interest Period has been
consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic or e-mail notice by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower or any other Person designated by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent;
provided that such designation shall be accompanied by (i) a complete copy of resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors (or other 

  
 53 













 
similar governing body) of the Parent Borrower authorizing the applicable Responsible Officer to delegate his or her authority to submit such Committed Loan Notice and (ii) a certificate of
such Responsible Officer as to the incumbency and specimen signature of the Person so designated. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Parent Borrower (or any other Borrower) is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) the
aggregate amount of all Loans to be outstanding (after giving effect to the requested Borrowing), (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s
account to which such funds are due to be distributed. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Parent Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.
If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (b) Following receipt
of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Revolving Facility Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Parent
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its
Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 with respect to a Borrowing on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Parent Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Parent Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower; provided that Base Rate Loans made to finance reimbursement in respect of Letters of Credit shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable L/C
Issuer. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans at any one
time. 

  
 54 













 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of
the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of
any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect. 
 (f) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent
Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent
shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Parent Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Parent Borrower
(i) to provide to the Administrative Agent and receive from the Administrative Agent all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and (ii) to take such action as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood
that the handling of the Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of
the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. 

Each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers
to accept joint and several liability for the Finance Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor,
joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Finance Obligations (including, without limitation, any Finance Obligations arising under this
Section 2.02(f)), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Finance Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to
the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Finance Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other
Borrower’s will jointly and severally make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Finance Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Finance Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this
Section 2.02(f) constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Finance Obligations of each of the Borrowers, enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of
the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever. 

  
 55

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall issue or cause the
issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit (collectively, “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers. The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time
the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Revolving Facility Loans and shall bear interest at the applicable Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with
Section 2.08. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest. 
 (b) Issuance of
Letters of Credit. 
         (i) Subject to the terms hereof, the Parent
Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time), at least three
Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, the Administrative Agent’s form of letter of credit application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 

        (ii) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the
payment of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or acceptances of drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date
not later than twelve months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance (subject to automatic renewals) and in no event later than the date that is fifteen days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each standby Letter of Credit
shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revision thereof adhered to by the Issuer (“UCP
600”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (“ISP98 Rules”), as determined by the Administrative Agent, and each
trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to UCP 600. 
         (iii) The
Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders of the request by the Borrowers for a Letter of Credit hereunder. 

(c) Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Parent Borrower shall authorize and direct the L/C Issuer to name
one or more Borrowers as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. If the Administrative Agent is not the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall authorize and direct the L/C Issuer to
deliver to the Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the L/C Issuer pursuant to such Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Administrative Agent’s instructions and agreements with
respect to all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit or the application therefor. 

  
 56 













 (d) Disbursements, Reimbursement. 

(i) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Administrative Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata of the Maximum Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and the
amount of such drawing, respectively. 
             (ii) In the
event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower. Provided that the Parent Borrower shall have received such notice by 1:00
pm (New York time), the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender together with any interest thereon pursuant to Section 2.08 shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation”) the Administrative Agent on behalf of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such date that an amount is paid by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Administrative Agent. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the
full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 1.00 p.m. (New York time) on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that a Revolving Facility
Loan that is a Base Rate Loan be made by the Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.01 and subject to Article IV. Any notice given by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(ii) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice. 
             (iii) Each Lender shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(ii) make available to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating
Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.03(d)(iv)) each be deemed to have made a Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the
amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which
such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate on Loans that are Base Rate Loans on and
after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to
enable any Lender to 

  
 57 













 
effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.03(d)(iii), provided that such Lender shall not be
obligated to pay interest as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of a drawing. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.03(d)(iii) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Revolving Loan” from such Lender in
satisfaction of its Participation Commitment under this Section 2.03(d). 
 (iv) With respect to
any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Loan to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.03(d)(ii), because of the Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Administrative Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in
the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate on Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 

(v) Each Lender’s Participation Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events:
(i) the Administrative Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (ii) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncanceled and (iii) all Persons (other than
the Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. 
 (e) Repayment of
Participation Revolving Loans. 
 (i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for its account of
immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Revolving Loan to the Administrative Agent
or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Administrative Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of
such Lender’s pro rata share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain the amount of the pro rata share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Revolving Loan in respect of such payment by the
Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to the Borrowers, or to a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, any portion of the payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i) in
reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent the amount of its pro rata share of any amounts so returned
by the Administrative Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate. 

  
 58 













 (f) Documentation. The Borrowers agree to be bound by the terms of each
Letter of Credit Application and by the L/C Issuer’s interpretations of each Letter of Credit issued for the Borrowers’ account and by the L/C Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though
the L/C Issuer’s interpretations may be different from the Borrowers’ own. In the event of a conflict between any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the
case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment), the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or
commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or any modification, amendment or supplement thereto. 

(g) Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit
by the beneficiary thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth. 

(h) Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this
Agreement to make the Loans or Participation Revolving Loans as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Administrative Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: 

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; 
 (ii) the failure of
the Borrowers or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a
Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Revolving Loans under Section 2.03(d); 

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of

Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrowers or any other party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); 

  
 59 













 (v) the lack of power or authority of any signatory of (or any defect in or

Agent’s Affiliates has been notified thereof; 
 (vi) except as provided in Section 2.03(g),
any payment by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of
Credit in the form requested by the Borrowers, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from the Parent Borrower of such failure within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent shall have furnished Parent Borrower a copy

 Nothing contained in this Section 2.03(h) shall be deemed to
relieve the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer from any claim by the Borrowers for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, respectively, in respect of honoring or failing to honor any drawing
under any Letter of Credit or otherwise in respect of any Letter of Credit, but any such claim may not be used as a defense to the reimbursement obligation for any such drawing. 

(i) Indemnity. In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 10.04, the Borrowers hereby agree
to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, (except for the imposition or any change in rate of any Taxes for which such Person
is indemnified pursuant to Article III or the imposition or any change in the rate of, any Taxes specifically excluded under Article III), penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a
consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final nonappealable judgment) or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any of the Administrative Agent’s or L/C Issuer’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of
Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). The
obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.03(i) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

(j) Liability for Acts and Omissions. 

(i) As between the Borrowers and the Agents and the Lenders, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or
misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Administrative Agent shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between
or among Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not
they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;
(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such 

  
 61 













 
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, including any
Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Administrative Agent from liability
for the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses
(i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates be liable to the Borrowers for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special
damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on
any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents
presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court
order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Administrative Agent or
its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered
separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored
under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to
an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding
that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 

(iii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or
omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents or certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment), shall not put the Administrative Agent under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Lender.

 Section 2.04 Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to one or more Borrowers from time to time on any Business
Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Revolving Facility Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Facility Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving
effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the lesser of (I) Revolving Facility Commitments and (II) the Borrowing Base (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Lender
shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, (y) the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any
obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that is has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject
to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing
Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Facility Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing
Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000 and whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of
any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Facility
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender
will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent Borrower, including at its office by crediting the account of the Parent Borrower on the
books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. 

  
 63 













 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (each of which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Facility Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans
then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to
the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall
furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall make an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Facility
Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan)
for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving
Facility Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Facility Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Facility Lenders fund its risk
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Facility Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Revolving Facility Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the
Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Revolving Facility Loans included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect
to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 64 













 (iv) Each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make Revolving
Facility Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Facility Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. 
 (d)
Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Revolving Facility Lender has purchased and funded a
risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Facility Lender its applicable Revolving Facility Percentage thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in
respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its applicable Revolving Facility Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the ABL Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line
Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Facility Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such applicable Revolving Facility Percentage shall be solely for the
account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments
of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 
 (g) Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when any Revolving Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate its risk with respect to any Defaulting Lender’s risk participations in, and all other obligations in respect of, Swing Line Loans, including by cash
collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of all Swing Line Loans outstanding or to be outstanding hereunder. 

  
 65 













 Section 2.05 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a), the Borrowers may at any
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (A) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof; (B) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (C) any
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required by Section 2.03(d) and by Section 3.05. Each
prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages. 

(b) Mandatory. 

(i) Revolving Facility Credit Exposure. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17,
the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans at any time when the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess.
If at any time after the Borrowers have complied with the first sentence of this Section 2.05(b), the aggregate L/C Obligations are greater than the then current Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral
in respect of such excess to the Administrative Agent, which Cash Collateral shall be deposited in a bank account subject to a Cash Management Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent and, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrowers at such time as the aggregate L/C Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans no longer exceeds the then current Borrowing Base (as updated by the weekly reports
to the Borrowing Base Certificate described in Section 6.01(j), when applicable) as determined by the Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Dispositions; Events of Loss. Subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, if a Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of a Loan Party shall, during a Cash Dominion Period: 
 (A) make or agree to make a Disposition of ABL Priority
Collateral not in the Ordinary Course of Business; 
 (B) or suffer an Event of Loss in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral 
 and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with such Disposition or Event
of Loss and all other such Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during the Fiscal Year exceeds $2,500,000, then (A) the Parent Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including
the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (B) within two Business Days after receipt by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or
Event of Loss, the Parent Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans without reducing the Revolving Facility Commitment. 

  
 66 













 (c) Application to the Revolving Facility. Each prepayment of Loans
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05 shall be applied first, ratably to pay accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the outstanding L/C Borrowings and the outstanding Swing Line Loans,
Overadvances and Agent Advances then being prepaid, second, ratably to prepay the principal of any outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts and any outstanding Swing Line Loans, Overadvances and Agent Advances, if any, third, ratably to the
outstanding Revolving Facility Loans (other than Overadvances and Agent Advances), and, fourth, to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; in each case, without permanent reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments, and the
amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all Unreimbursed Amounts, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Facility Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the
Borrowers for use in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided that, upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or
from any Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer or the applicable Lenders, as applicable. 
 (d)
Prepayment Notices. Unless otherwise specified in this Section 2.05, each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or e-mail (and if in writing shall be in the form of a Prepayment Notice appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent
Borrower), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (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 and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.05 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 Parent 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 Revolving Facility Percentage). If such notice is given by the Parent
Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; it being understood and agreed that, if such notice is given in connection with the
refinancing of the entire Facility, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of Indebtedness the proceeds of which are being used to refinance the Facility and such notice may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied. Any
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentage in the manner described in Section 2.05(a) or (b), as
applicable. 

  
 67 













 Section 2.06 Scheduled Repayment of Loans. 

(a) To the extent not previously paid, outstanding Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 

(b) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five Business Days after
such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (c) Prior to any repayment of any Loans, the Parent Borrower shall
select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., (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 to the Revolving Facility Loans
included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment).
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 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Facility Commitments. 

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 

(b) The Borrowers may reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans not yet made as to which a Committed Loan Notice has been given by the Parent Borrower under
Section 2.02, (C) the L/C Obligations at such time, (D) the stated amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been made and not withdrawn, (E) the Swing Line Obligations at such
time and (F) $10,000,000, unless the total Revolving Facility Commitment is reduced to zero in accordance with the preceding clauses (A) through (E) hereof. Each such reduction (1) shall be in an amount which is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 (or by the full amount of the Revolving Facility Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction if such amount at that time is less than $1,000,000) and (2) shall be made by providing not less than five Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, provided, that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Once reduced, the Revolving Facility Commitment may not be increased. Each
such reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Facility Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. 

  
 68 













 Section 2.08 Interest. 

(a) Stated Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b): (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate; (ii) each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Rate. 

(b) Default Interest. 

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the
Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such overdue amount shall bear
interest from the date when due at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law. 

(iii) During the existence of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), the Borrowers shall pay
interest on the principal amount of all outstanding ABL Credit Obligations at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law. 

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand. 
 (c) Payments of Interest. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date applicable thereto, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments, on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

Section 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Each of the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender
(other than Defaulting Lenders), in accordance with each such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the
Revolving Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the 

  
 69 













 
Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15; provided, however, that, from and after the date that the third
monthly Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered to the Collateral Agent after the Closing Date, if the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations is greater than or equal to 50.0% of the
Facility, the Commitment Fee shall be reduced to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
last day of the Availability Period. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. For the avoidance of doubt, Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Facility Loans for purposes of
determining the Commitment Fee. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in clause (ii) below) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate in effect at such time
for Eurodollar Rate Loans, times the daily balance of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Letters of Credit, for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, such fees to be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and (ii) to
the L/C Issuer, (A) a fronting fee of one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum multiplied times the Maximum Undrawn Amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the
Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and (B) any and all customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges (as per the L/C Issuer’s standard fee schedule) with respect to any Letters of Credit and all fees and
expenses as agreed upon by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Issuer, which charges and fees shall be payable on demand or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and
the Parent Borrower (all of the foregoing fees and charges in this clause (b), collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that
transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the L/C Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable
hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. 

(c) Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective
accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

  
 70 













 (d) Each of the Borrowers acknowledge that pursuant to
Section 6.09, representatives of the Administrative Agent may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations, appraisals, environmental site assessments and/or
examinations of any or all of the Loan Parties at any time and from time to time. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally pay (i) $1,100 per day for any examiner that is an employee of an Agent or its Affiliates plus any third party
examiner’s out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with all such visits, inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations, appraisals,
environmental site assessments and/or examinations and (ii) the cost of all visits, inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations, appraisals, environmental site assessments and/or examinations conducted by each third party on behalf of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including any Field Survey and Audit); provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for more than (A) one Field Survey and Audit and collateral inspection during any Fiscal Year, and (B) one appraisal of all or any portion of the Collateral during any Fiscal Year, which, in the first
Field Survey and Audit, shall be conducted within 60 days of the Closing Date; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
(1) the Borrowers shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Administrative Agent for each Field Survey and Audit conducted by them in connection with (and with respect to the assets and/or entities acquired in) any Permitted
Acquisition as contemplated by Section 7.04, and (2) any such Field Survey and Audit shall not be counted against the limitations set forth in the preceding clauses (A) and (B). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) during an Inspection Trigger Period, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent for more than (A) two Field Survey and Audit and collateral inspections during any Fiscal Year, and (B) two
appraisals of all or any portion of the Collateral and (ii) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, such collateral audits, any Field Survey and Audit and inventory appraisals may be conducted at
the Borrowers’ expense as many times as the Administrative Agent may require. 
 (e) Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally,
shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans
(including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall, to the extent based upon the Prime Rate, be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees
and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

  
 71 













 Section 2.11 Evidence of Debt. The extension of
Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the ABL Credit Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally,
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. 

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made jointly and severally, and without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified herein, except payments to be made directly to the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Revolving Facility Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to
such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 PM shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by
the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(b) Funding and Payments; Presumptions. 

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. 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 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 Borrowers a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and each of the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds 

  
 72 













 
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (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 Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If any 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 such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such 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 any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by the Borrowers;
Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Parent Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers haves not in fact made such payment, then each of the 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. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any
Lender or the Parent Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Borrowings set forth in
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender without interest. 

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 

  
 73 













 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, toward payment of principal of unreimbursed L/C Obligations then due from the Borrowers hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Obligations then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties. 
 Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender
shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (i) ABL 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 ABL Credit Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the ABL Credit Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the ABL Credit Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) ABL 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 ABL Credit Obligations owing (but not due
and payable) to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the ABL Credit Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the ABL Credit
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders 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 and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line 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 ABL 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: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

  
 74 













 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.16, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing
Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof not otherwise permitted by this Agreement (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

Each of the Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirement of Law, that
any Lender acquiring a participation or subparticipation 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. 
 Section 2.14 Incremental Loans.

 (a) Requests for Incremental Loans. Upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may request one or more incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (each an “Incremental Commitment” and all of them,
collectively, the “Incremental Commitments” and any such loans, “Incremental Loans”), each of which Incremental Commitment shall be in minimum increments of $ 1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $ 10,000,000;
provided that after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed $25,000,000. 

(b) Ranking and Other Provisions. The Incremental Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and in
respect of lien priority as to the Collateral with the ABL Credit Obligations in respect of the outstanding Loans and otherwise have terms identical to the Revolving Facility Loans (other than with respect to any fees paid in connection with any
Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loans and it being understood that the Borrowers, at their option, may increase the Applicable Rate and fees payable in respect of the Facility to be identical to those paid in connection with any Incremental
Commitment or Incremental Loans). 
 (c) Notices; Lender Elections. Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to
this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the Incremental Commitments. At the time of the sending of such notice, the Parent Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period
within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Incremental Loans (or any portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by
any other bank or investing entity satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer (but in no case (i) by any Borrower or any Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) by any Defaulting Lender or any of its
Subsidiaries, (iii) by any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in clause (ii) or (iv) by any natural person) (each, except to the extent excluded
pursuant to the foregoing parenthetical, an “Incremental Lender”), in each case on terms permitted in this Section and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, provided that
the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Parent 

  
 75 













 
Borrower shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s, as the case may be, making such Incremental Loans if such consent would be
required under Section 10.06 for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Incremental Lender, as the case may be. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans, unless it so agrees. Each Lender shall notify
the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Revolving Facility Percentage of such requested increase (which
shall be calculated on the basis of the amount of the funded and unfunded exposure under the Facility). Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide an Incremental Commitment. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Parent Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders
pursuant to an accession agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. 
 (d)
Incremental Commitments Amendment. Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of any Incremental Commitments shall become Revolving Facility Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Commitments Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, each Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Facility Commitment, if any, each Incremental Lender, if any, and
the Administrative Agent. An Incremental Commitments Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the
provisions of this Section. 
 (e) Effective Date and Allocations. If any Incremental Commitments are added in
accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Commitments Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such
addition. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such addition, the Incremental Commitments Effective Date and the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of
Loans after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments. 
 (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. The
effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, each Lender party thereto, if any, and the Incremental Lenders, if any, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the
Administrative Agent on the date thereof of each of the following conditions: 
 (i) the Administrative Agent shall have
received on or prior to the Incremental Commitments Effective Date each of the following, each dated the applicable Incremental Commitments Effective Date unless otherwise indicated or agreed to by the Administrative Agent and each in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (A) the applicable Incremental Commitments Amendment; (B) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of each Loan Party
approving the execution, delivery and performance of the Incremental Commitments Amendment; and (C) a favorable opinion of counsel for the Loan Parties dated the Incremental Commitments Effective Date, to the extent requested by the
Administrative Agent addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; 

  
 76 













 (ii) (A) such increase shall be made on the terms and conditions provided
for above, (B) both at the time of any request for Incremental Commitments and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Loan is made
(and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (C) the conditions specified in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied, (D) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the incurrence of the Incremental Loans (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and
correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be), before and after giving effect to such incurrence, as though made on and as of such date, and (E) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
would not be less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the most recently completed Measurement Period on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Loans or Incremental Commitments (assuming that the full amount of such
Incremental Commitments would be drawn as Incremental Loans); and 
 (iii) there shall have been paid to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including any Person becoming a Lender as part of such Incremental Commitments Amendment on the related Incremental Commitments Effective Date), as applicable, all reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) that are due and payable on or before the Incremental Commitments Effective Date. 
 (g) Effect of
Incremental Commitments Amendment. On each Incremental Commitments Effective Date, each Lender or Eligible Assignee which is providing an Incremental Commitment (i) shall become a “Lender” for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) shall have an Incremental Commitment which shall be a “Revolving Facility Commitment” hereunder and (iii) shall make an Incremental Loan to the Borrowers in a principal amount equal to
such Incremental Commitment, and such Incremental Loan shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provision of
Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
 Section 2.15
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 Requirements of Law: 

  
 77 













 (i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01. 

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a
non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s
future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach
of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that 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 or Letter of Credit Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or the related Letters of Credit
were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01(i) or (k) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro-rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v). 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be
deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) That
Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fee pursuant to Section 2.09(d) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 

  
 78 













 (iv) Certain Fees. 

(A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under Section 2.09(a) for any
period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Facility Loans funded by it, and (2) its Revolving Facility Percentage of the stated amount
of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16. 
 (B)
Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its applicable percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it
has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16. 
 (C) With respect to any fee payable under
Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Parent Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been
reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) below, (y) pay to the applicable L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuers’ or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(v) Reallocation of Revolving Facility Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Lien Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages
(calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and,
unless the Parent Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation
does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment.
No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(vi) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(v)
above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line
Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16. 

  
 79 













 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Swing Line Lender and one or more applicable L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), 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 and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata
basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages, whereupon that 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 Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.16 Cash Collateral. 

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash
Collateral pursuant to Section 8.02, or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases)
following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause
(iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(b) Grant of Security Interest. Each Loan Party and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting
Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit
accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to clause
(c) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more Controlled Accounts at Bank of America. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay on demand therefor from time to time
all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral. 

  
 80 













 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16, 2.03, 2.15 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations,
obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 
 (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the
appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by
the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the
applicable L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any
other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead
held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
 Section 2.17 Agent
Advances; Overadvances. 
 (a) Agent Advances. Any Agent may from time to time make such
disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) which such Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the
likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrowers of the Loans, L/C Obligations and other ABL Credit Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.04. The Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then
applicable to Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The Agent Advances shall constitute ABL Credit Obligations hereunder. The Agent making the Agent Advance shall notify the other Agent and each Lender and the Parent Borrower in writing of each such Agent
Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Agent making
the Agent Advance, upon such Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of each such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Agent making such Agent
Advance by such Lender, such Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to such Agent, at the Federal
Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. 

  
 81 













 (b) Overadvances. If the aggregate Outstanding Amounts exceed the
Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable jointly and severally by Borrowers within one (1) Business Day after demand by the Administrative Agent, but all such Loans shall nevertheless
constitute ABL Credit Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests
for Overadvances and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Default or Event of Default is known to the Administrative Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 45
consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvances are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by the Administrative Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base at any
time while such Overadvance is outstanding; and (b) regardless of whether Default or an Event of Default exists, if the Administrative Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such
discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $1,000,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than 45 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvances be required that would cause the outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations to
exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or Lenders of the Default or Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or
other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this clause (b) nor authorized to enforce any of its terms. 

Section 2.18 Settlement. Except as may be specifically provided otherwise herein, it is agreed that
each Lender’s funded portion of the Loans is intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s applicable pro rata share of the outstanding Loans of such Type. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Loans, including the
Agent Advances and Overadvances, shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (a) The Administrative
Agent shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders at least twice a month, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent, (i) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance and
Overadvance, as applicable, and (ii) with respect to Collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other means of written electronic communication, no later than 12:00 noon
on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Revolving Facility Lender (other than the Administrative Agent, in the case of Agent Advances and Overadvances) shall make the amount of such Lender’s pro
rata share of the outstanding principal amount of Agent Advances and Overadvances, as applicable, with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
3:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article IV have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Agent Advance or Overadvances, as applicable, and shall constitute
Revolving Facility Loans of the Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Administrative Agent shall, for itself with respect to each Agent Advance and
Overadvance, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to
Revolving Facility Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 

  
 82 













 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one Business Day after demand is made by
the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to an Agent Advance or Overadvance), each Lender
(i) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Agent Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, equal to such Lender’s
pro rata share of such Agent Advance and (ii) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Agent Advances, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, shall pay to the Administrative Agent as the purchase price of such
participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Agent Advances or Overadvance, as applicable. If such amount is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days from and after such demand and
thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans. 
 (c) From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an
undivided interest and participation in any Agent Advance or Overadvance pursuant to clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of all payments of principal and
interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Agent Advance or Overadvance, as applicable. 

(d) During the period between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent with respect to Agent Advances or Overadvances, as applicable, and
each Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility Loans other than Agent Advances or Overadvances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will not exceed Availability on any date for funding a Revolving Facility
Loan. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Revolving Facility Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

  
 83 













 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 the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Requirements of Law require any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or
deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Requirements of Law as determined by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be
delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 
 (ii) If any Borrower 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) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are
determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) 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 or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be
increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other
Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirement
of Law. 
 (c) Tax Indemnifications. 

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Borrower shall,
and does hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) withheld or deducted by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental 

  
 84 













 
Authority. Each Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after written demand therefor, for any amount
which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection (c). A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims,
liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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). The agreements in this clause
(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all other Finance Obligations. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Parent 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
Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Requirements of Law or when reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or by the Taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are
subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. 

  
 85 













 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or
reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements; and 
 (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent 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 request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; 

(2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; 

(3) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required
supporting documentation; 
 (4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or 
 (5) executed originals of any other form
prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to
permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

  
 86 













 (iii) If a payment made to any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan
Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, (A) two accurate, complete and signed certifications prescribed by applicable law and/or reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent that establish that such payment is exempt from
United States federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA and (B) any other documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that a Lender has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA. 

(iv) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent Borrower 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 Requirements of Law of any jurisdiction that the Parent Borrower 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 Requirements of
Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from
funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agree to jointly and severally repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other
Person. 

  
 87 













 Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines
that any Requirement of 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 Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar 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, after consultation by such Lender with the Parent Borrower and 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 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 Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. After such consultation, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon written demand from such Lender to the Parent Borrower (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 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 (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative
Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar 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 Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If (a) the Required Lenders determine for any reason
in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest
Period of such Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar 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 (in each case with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”) or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter,
(i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the
utilization of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate 

  
 88 













 
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. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or 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. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause
(a) of the first sentence of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate
of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any
Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by
reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower written notice thereof. 
 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 Lending Office) (except any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
hereunder) or any L/C Issuer; 
 (ii) subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any participation interest in any Letter of Credit, or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of Taxation of payments to such Lender or L/C Issuer in respect
thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or L/C Issuer); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; 

  
 89 













 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office)
of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or any L/C Issuer
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C
Issuer for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If (x) any Lender or
an L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Facility
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy) and (y) such Lender or L/C Issuer is, as a policy, seeking compensation in respect of such reduction from other similarly-situated customers, then, subject to
subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 3.04 and Section 3.06, then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Parent Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a
Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 90 













 Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of
any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in no event more than ten days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of notice thereof from such Lender) 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 any 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 any Borrower; 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 Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; 

including any loss of anticipated profits (other than Applicable Rate) and 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 and after giving effect to such Lender’s commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages. The Borrowers shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers 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 Rate used in determining the Adjusted Eurodollar 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 the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or L/C Issuer, 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) in
each case, would not subject such Lender or L/C Issuer to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 91 













 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Parent Borrower may replace such Lender or L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 10.13.

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

action the Parent Borrower or other Person proposes to take with respect thereto and at what time. Each notice under Section 6.03(a) shall describe with particularity any and all clauses or provisions of this Agreement or
other Loan Document that have been breached or violated. 
 Section 6.04 Preservation of Corporate
Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, other than Non-Material Subsidiaries, to: 

(a) preserve and maintain in full force and effect its organizational existence and good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, except, with respect to the Parent Borrower’s Subsidiaries, in connection with transactions permitted by Section 7.03; 

(b) preserve and maintain in full force and effect all rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and franchises necessary in the
normal conduct of its business except in connection with transactions permitted by Section 7.03 and sales of assets permitted by Section 5.02 and except as would not reasonably be expected to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; 

  
 114 













 (c) preserve or renew all of its registered Trademarks, the
non-preservation of which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(d) conduct its business and affairs without infringement of or interference with any Intellectual Property of any other Person in any respect
and shall comply in all respects with the terms of its IP Licenses except, in each case, as would not be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 6.05 Maintenance of Property. Each Loan Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its Property which is necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and fire, casualty or condemnation excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and
renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 6.06 Insurance. 

(a) Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect
all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the Property and businesses of the Loan Parties and such Subsidiaries (including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other
casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the
Borrowers) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by businesses of the size and character of the business of the Loan Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance relating to any Property or business
of any Loan Party to name the Administrative Agent as additional insured or lenders loss payee as agent for the Lenders, as appropriate. All policies of insurance on real and personal Property of the Loan Parties will contain an endorsement, in form
and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, showing loss payable to the Administrative Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent and naming the Administrative Agent as lenders loss payee as agent for the Lenders) and extra expense and
business interruption endorsements. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to the Administrative Agent, will provide that the insurance companies or the Parent Borrower’s insurance broker will give the Administrative Agent at
least 30 (or 10 in case of non-payment) days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be canceled and that no act or default of the Loan Parties or any other Person
shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Loan Party shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property
insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and the Administrative Agent jointly, the Administrative Agent
may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. The Administrative Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of each Loan Party’s risk
profile, to require additional forms and limits of insurance. Notwithstanding the requirement in clause (i) above, Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or
(y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. 

  
 115 













 (b) Unless the Loan Parties provide the Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance
coverage required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, Flood Insurance), the Administrative Agent may purchase insurance (including, without limitation, Flood Insurance) at the Loan Parties’ expense to protect the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that the
Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party makes or any claim that is made against such Loan Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Loan Parties may later
cancel any insurance purchased by the Administrative Agent, but only after providing the Administrative Agent with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent purchases insurance, the
Loan Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges the Administrative Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration
of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the Finance Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Loan Parties may be able to obtain on their own. 

(c) Subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, the Loan Parties appoint the Administrative Agent as their
attorney-in-fact to settle or adjust all property damage claims under its casualty insurance policies; provided, that such power of attorney shall only be
exercised so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the casualty claim exceeds $1,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise such power of attorney, but may do so at its discretion. 

Section 6.07 Payment of Obligations. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed: 
 (a) all federal and other material
Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its Property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which
stay the filing or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person. 

(b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person: 

(c) the performance of all obligations under any Contractual Obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it
or any of its Property is subject, including the Related Agreements, except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and 

  
 116 













 (d) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien on assets of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to, or the involuntary termination of, any underfunded Benefit Plan that is described in Section 3(2) of ERISA. 

Section 6.08 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
comply with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 Section 6.09 Inspection of Property and Books and Records; Quarterly Management Calls.

 (a) Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, proper books of record and account, in which full, true
and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of such Person. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with
respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be required and the
Administrative Agent shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof): (a) provide access to such property to the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, as frequently as the Administrative Agent reasonably
determines to be appropriate; and (b) permit the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties to conduct field examinations (including any Field Survey and Audit), audit, inspect and make extracts and copies (or take originals if
reasonably necessary) from all of such Loan Party’s books and records, and evaluate and make physical verifications of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that the Administrative Agent reasonably considers
advisable, in each instance, at the Loan Parties’ expense; provided, that excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, (x) only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may
exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 6.09(a), and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year and (y) inventory
appraisals may only be performed during an Inspection Trigger Period; provided, further, that when (A) a Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the
Borrowers at any time and (B) during an Inspection Trigger Period, the Administrative Agent may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrowers up to one additional time during such calendar year. 

(b) Promptly after the time of delivery of financial statements with respect to the preceding Fiscal Quarter pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b), as applicable, (and in no event more than ten days after the time such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b), as applicable), the Parent Borrower shall, and shall cause its Responsible Officers to, conduct a conference call with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
to discuss such financial statements. 
 Section 6.10 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the
proceeds of the Loans solely as follows: (a) first, to refinance on the Closing Date Prior Indebtedness and then to pay on the Closing Date a portion of the purchase price for the Acquired Business, (b) to pay costs and expenses of the
Related Transactions and costs and expenses required to be paid pursuant to Article IV, and (c) after the Closing Date, for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes not in contravention of any
Requirement of Law and not in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

  
 117 













 Section 6.11 Collection of Accounts; Management of
Collateral. 
 (a) Within 90 days of the Closing Date (or such later date, subject to Section 6.15), the
Loan Parties shall have established and thereafter shall maintain cash management services and Cash Management Accounts of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, which Cash Management Accounts are in each case subject
to a Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement (i) in favor of the Collateral Agent and (ii) which provides that all amounts on deposit in each such Cash Management Account be automatically transferred each
Business Day during a Cash Dominion Period (as defined below) to at least one Cash Management Account (as designated by the Collateral Agent) at the Administrative Agent or a Cash Management Bank designated by the Collateral Agent, to be used as a
collections account (such account, together with any other collections accounts (including any “lockbox accounts”) established by the Loan Parties with the Administrative Agent or Cash Management Bank so designated, the “Cash
Management Collections Accounts”). 
 (b) If (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
(ii) Availability is less than 17.5% of the Revolving Facility Commitment for five consecutive Business Days (each a “Cash Management Triggering Event”) and until such Cash Management Triggering Event no longer exists for a 30
consecutive calendar day period (such period, a “Cash Dominion Period”), then (A) the Loan Parties shall deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the next Business Day after the occurrence of a
Cash Management Triggering Event, all proceeds in respect of any Collateral, all collections of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account and all other amounts received by any Loan Party (including payments made by Account Debtors directly
to any Loan Party and remittances on credit card sales) into the Cash Management Collections Accounts, and (B) subject to the conditions set forth in a Cash Management Agreement with respect to a Cash Management Account, pursuant to each
applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement (or otherwise at the instruction of the Collateral Agent) all amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Accounts each Business Day to the Cash Management
Collections Accounts. At all times prior to and after a Cash Dominion Period, the Loan Parties shall have full dominion and control over the Cash Management Accounts, and the Collateral Agent agrees not to deliver a control notice or take any other
action to control the Cash Managements Accounts unless and until a Cash Management Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing. The Collateral Agent further agrees that upon the termination of a Cash Dominion Period, the Collateral Agent shall
provide notice to the banks with Cash Management Accounts and take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary to revert control of such Cash Managements Accounts to the Loan Parties. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided for in Section 8.03, all amounts received or deposited into the Cash Management
Collections Accounts during a Cash Dominion Period (whether under this Section 6.11 or otherwise) shall be applied to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and the L/C Obligations (or, to the extent
such L/C Obligations are contingent, to provide Cash Collateral in respect of such L/C Obligations). 

  
 118 













 (d) The Loan Parties shall not maintain cash, Cash Equivalents or other amounts in either
(i) any Deposit Account, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received a Deposit Account Control Agreement in respect of such Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts) or (ii) any securities account, unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received a Securities Account Control Agreement in respect of such securities account (other than Excluded Accounts). 
 (e) Each
Loan Party shall close any of its Cash Management Accounts maintained with a bank or depositary institution promptly and in any event within forty-five days (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent is
willing, in its sole discretion, to accommodate from time to time) of notice from the Collateral Agent that the creditworthiness of such bank or depositary institution is no longer acceptable in the Collateral Agent’s Credit Judgment, or that
the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of such bank or depositary institution with respect to Cash Management Accounts or the Collateral Agent’s liability under any Cash Management Agreement with
such bank or depositary institution is no longer acceptable in the Collateral Agent’s Credit Judgment. 
 (f) The Cash Management
Accounts with Cash Management Banks shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Finance Obligations, and in which the Loan Parties are hereby deemed to have granted a
Lien to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness received during a Cash Dominion Period directly by any Loan Party from any of its
Account Debtors, as proceeds from Accounts of such Loan Party or as proceeds of any other Collateral shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Secured Parties and if of a nature susceptible to a deposit in a bank account, upon receipt be
deposited by such Loan Party in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof into a Cash Management Account in accordance with Section 6.11(b). Each Loan Party shall not commingle such
collections with the proceeds of any Property not included in the Collateral. No checks, drafts or other instrument received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such instruments
have actually been collected. 
 (g) The Loan Parties shall take all reasonable steps to enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on
the Accounts of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Secured Parties’ security
interest to any and all Account Debtors or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral, and thereafter the Collateral Agent or its designee shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts and/or take possession of the
Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. 
 (h) Each Loan Party hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such
Agent as the Loan Parties’ attorney-in-fact with power to endorse any Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other
evidences of payment relating to the Accounts, to sign any Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of 

  
 119 













 
the Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts, assignments of Accounts, verification of Accounts of any Account Debtor with an outstanding balance of Accounts owing to the
Loan Parties in excess of $1,000,000 and notices to such Account Debtors with respect to Accounts. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and such attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or
commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power
being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the date on which all Finance Obligations are paid in full and all of the Loan Documents are terminated. Each Agent agrees not to deliver any such notice or take any such actions unless and until a
Cash Management Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing. 
 (i) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent
as agent of any Loan Party for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the
cause thereof (other than from acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance or in any event
whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than
acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the
obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 

(j) If any Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event
obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Loan Parties’ account and to charge the Loan Parties therefor. The Loan Parties shall notify the Agents if any Account includes any taxes due to any
such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of such Account and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery creating such
Account. 
 Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein
provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as
provided by law 
 Section 6.12 Landlord Agreements. Each Loan Party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement, from the lessor of each leased property, bailee in possession of any Collateral or mortgagee of any owned property with respect to each location where any Collateral having a value in
excess of $500,000 is stored or located, which agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent. 

  
 120 













 Section 6.13 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party
shall ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any
fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and correct any defect or error that may be
discovered therein or in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof. 
 (a) Promptly upon request by any
Agent, the Loan Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents and the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such
documents as such Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents
any of the Properties, rights or interests covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) subject to customary “Certain Funds Provisions” with respect to perfection of Liens on assets acquired in a Permitted Acquisition or other
Investment permitted hereunder, to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer,
preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in
writing by Required Lenders, the Loan Parties shall cause each of their Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries), promptly after formation or acquisition thereof, to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent the Accession Agreement
pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guaranty the Finance Obligations and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents
(including the Intercreditor Agreements), all of such Subsidiary’s Property to secure such guaranty. Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, each Loan Party shall pledge, and shall cause each of its Domestic
Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to pledge, (i) all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) and (ii) sixty-five
percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents and one hundred percent (100%) of outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of each Foreign Subsidiary directly owned by a Loan
Party and each Excluded Domestic Holdco directly owned by a Loan Party, in each instance, to the Term Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement), to secure the Finance Obligations,
promptly after formation or acquisition of such Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collateral Documents to the contrary, (i) no Foreign Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary will guaranty the Finance
Obligations or grant a Lien on any of its assets to secure payment of the Finance Obligations and (ii) no more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of any
Foreign Subsidiary directly owned by a Loan Party or any Excluded Domestic Holdco directly owned by a Loan Party will be pledged to secure the Finance Obligations. The Loan Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Administrative
Agent, appropriate resolutions, secretary certificates, certified Organization Documents and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 6.13 (which opinions
shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent applicable, substantially similar to the opinions delivered on the Effective Date), 

  
 121 













 
in each instance with respect to each Loan Party formed or acquired after the Effective Date. In connection with each pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Loan Parties shall deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to the Term Collateral Agent (subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement), irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event any Loan Party acquires any fee
interest in Real Estate located in the United States (it being understood and agreed that any Real Estate owned by a Governmental Authority in connection with a tax exempt financing and leased by such Governmental Authority to such Loan Party shall
be deemed to be owned in fee by such Loan Party) having a fair value exceeding $2,500,000, simultaneously with (or such later date as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion)
such acquisition, such Person shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to the Collateral Agent, (w) a fully executed Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent together with an
A.L.T.A. lender’s title insurance policy (any such policy, a “Mortgage Policy”) issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens other than Permitted Liens and any title exceptions referred to in the
title insurance policies reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and (x) then current A.L.T.A. surveys, certified to the Collateral Agent by a licensed surveyor sufficient to allow the issuer of the lender’s title insurance policy
to issue such policy without a survey exception. In the event any Loan Party acquires any Real Estate located in the United States having a fair value exceeding $2,500,000, at the Collateral Agent’s request, the Loan Parties shall cause to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days after such acquisition, an environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6.06(a), within 90 days after written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Loan Parties that any Real Estate is located in a Special Flood
Hazard Area, the Loan Parties shall satisfy the Flood Insurance requirements of Section 6.06(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements.

 (b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collateral Documents to the contrary, on the Effective Date,
Conn-Selmer shall pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of Steinway and Sons to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Finance Obligations. 

(c) The Parent Borrower shall, promptly following receipt of the acknowledgment copy of any financing statements filed under the UCC in any
jurisdiction by or on behalf of the Secured Parties, deliver to the Administrative Agent completed requests for information listing such financing statement and all other effective financing statements filed in such jurisdiction that name any Loan
Party as debtor, together with copies of such other financing statements. 
 Section 6.14 Environmental
Matters. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with, and maintain its Real Estate, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws
(including by implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance) or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority, except in each case where 

  
 122 













 
the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Environmental Liability. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default
is continuing or if the Administrative Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist material violations of Environmental Laws by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or that there exist any material

declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; 
 (iii)
require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto); and 

(iv) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders
under the Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
any Borrower or any other Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of
all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender. 

Section 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in
Section 8.02 (or after the Loans and L/C Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the

arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 

  
 140 













 FOURTH, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.16; 

FIFTH, to payment of that portion of the Finance Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Obligations and other
ABL Credit Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and L/C Issuer(s) in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them; 

SIXTH, to payment of that portion of the Finance Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Obligations and amounts then

 SEVENTH, to the Term Finance Obligations, if any, as and to the extent required by the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement; and

 LAST, the balance, if any, after all of the Finance Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise
required by law. 
 Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either
been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Finance Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Finance Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be
excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge
Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or 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. 

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or its assets, but
appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Finance Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section. 

  
 141

Loan Parties fail to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.19 as of the last day of any applicable Fiscal Quarter, any cash equity contribution to the Parent Borrower (funded with proceeds of common
equity issued by Holdings or other equity issued by Holdings having terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and in any case, not constituting Disqualified Stock) on or prior to the day that is fifteen Business Days after the day on
which financial statements are required to be delivered for that Fiscal Quarter (such fifteen Business Day period, the “Standstill Period”) will, at the irrevocable election of the Parent Borrower, be included in the calculation of
Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the relevant Measurement Period and any portion of subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter (any such equity contribution so
included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) notice of the Parent Borrower’s intent to make a Specified Equity Contribution shall be delivered no later
than the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for the applicable Fiscal Quarter, (b) in each consecutive four Fiscal Quarter period, there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution
is made and there shall be no more than five Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate after the Effective Date, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Loan
Parties to be in pro forma compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (d) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for all other purposes, including calculating basket
levels, pricing and other items governed by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, (e) any Indebtedness prepaid with the proceeds of Specified Equity Contributions shall be deemed outstanding for purposes of determining compliance with the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio for the current Fiscal Quarter and the next three Fiscal Quarters thereafter and (f) during the Standstill Period, no Borrowing shall be permitted to be made, and no Letter of Credit may be issued, amended, extended or
renewed. 
 (b) If, after giving effect to the adjustment referred to in clause (a) above, the Borrowers shall then be in
compliance with the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.19, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirements as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though
there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.19 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX 

AGENCY PROVISIONS 

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority. 

(a) Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and L/C Issuer(s) hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its
behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto including, without limitation, the making of one or more Agent Advances or Overadvances; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent agrees, solely for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights and privileges under the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement after, and in 

  
 142 













 
accordance with, any direction to do so given by the Required Lenders and (ii) the Administrative Agent will not amend, waive or otherwise modify any provision of the ABL/Term Intercreditor
Agreement without the prior consent of the Required Lenders. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer(s) and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirement of Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties. 
 (b) Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral
agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank, Cash Management Bank and L/C Issuer) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of
such Lender and L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Finance Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and
Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, to
the extent holding Revolving Facility Commitments or Loans hereunder, 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 the Administrative Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity as a holder of Revolving
Facility Commitments or Loans hereunder. Such Person 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
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 

  
 143 













 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may
expose the Administrative 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 

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not
be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) 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 the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01
and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of, and (in the case of items referred to in Section 4.01) whether or not it is reasonably satisfied with, items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone or e-mail
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or the issuance,


  
 144 













 
extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition
is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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 9.06 Resignation of
Administrative Agent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, the Lenders and

in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring

that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and
(i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
and each L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender or L/C issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above
in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder 

  
 145 













 
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to

of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties 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, any other Loan Document or any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 No Other Duties,

 Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, in each case, subject to the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other ABL 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, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Finance Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in
any such proceeding.

Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be specified herein) and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers may, with the consent of the other, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan

reinstate any Revolving Facility Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.02) without the written consent of such Lender;

Rate; 
 (v) change Section 2.13 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender (it being agreed that fees in connection with Permitted Amendments do not constitute non-pro rata payments
under Sections 2.13 or 8.03); 
 (vi) 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

 149 













 (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction

 and
provided, further, that: (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each applicable L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer under this

(y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting

 150 













 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrowers may, by written notice
by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to procedures
reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Parent 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 those Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”). Each 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 Revolving Facility Commitment of the Accepting Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this paragraph unless the
Administrative Agent, to the extent so reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received corporate documents, officers’ certificates or legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under
Section 4.01. As used in this paragraph, “Permitted Amendments” shall be limited to (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the 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 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 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, Stock 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 does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that
requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Parent Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13;
provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Parent Borrower to be made pursuant thereto).

 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

 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 delivered; notices and other communications sent by telecopier 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 and L/C Issuers 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 or L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or
L/C Issuer has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Parent 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. 

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); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to
have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, 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.

Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except for direct or “economic” (as such term is used in Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030(g))
(as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final an nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or (y) result from a claim brought by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for material breach
of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document in respect of Borrower Materials made available through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, if Holdings, such Borrower or such Loan
Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings any Borrower,
any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to such direct or “economic” damages).

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 Requirement of Law, including United States Federal and state securities Requirements of Law, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. 

  
 153 













 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuer. The
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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 Borrowers
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, 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 each notice

Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, L/C Issuer or by
the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder 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 are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Requirement of Law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, 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 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; 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 L/C Issuer or
the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) subject in all cases to
the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10), (iv) subject in all cases to the ABL/Term

under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, 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. 

  
 154 













 Section 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 (a) Costs and Expenses. Holdings and each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay (i) all
reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent), 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 or any
amendments, modifications or waivers (including any proposed amendments, modifications or waivers) of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for
payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Lender or any L/C
Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), 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 10.04, or (B) in connection with the Loans and Letters of Credit made hereunder, including all such invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that Holdings and the Borrowers shall not be required to
reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to any special counsel and up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Persons indemnified under this
subsection (a) unless, in the reasonable opinion of those indemnified Persons seeking reimbursement of such legal fees and expenses under this subsection (a), representation of all such indemnified
persons would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case Holdings and the Borrowers shall only be required to reimburse the invoiced out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses of no more than such minimum number of additional outside counsel for the indemnified persons as is necessary to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest. 

(b) Indemnification. Holdings and each Borrower, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), the Lead Arranger, each Lender, each L/C Issuer 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 actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket charges and
disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party 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 contemplated hereby or thereby or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability
under Environmental Laws related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any
Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be


  
 155 













 
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 the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided further that Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall not be
required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to any reasonably necessary special counsel and up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees unless, in the
reasonable opinion of such indemnified Persons seeking indemnity under this subsection (b) representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest,
in which case Holdings and the Borrowers shall only be required to reimburse the invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of no more than such minimum number of
additional outside counsel for the Indemnitees as is necessary to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest. 
 (c)
Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Holdings and the Borrowers for any reason fail indefeasibly to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section 10.04 to be paid by it or them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each
Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Facility
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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), an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender 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 2.12(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, Holdings and the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person 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 Letter of Credit 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 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 nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than fifteen
Business Days after written demand therefor, including a reasonable detail of such amount to be paid. 

  
 156 













 (f) Survival. The agreements in this
Section 10.04 and the indemnity provisions of Section 10.02(e) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any
Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other ABL Credit Obligations. 

Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer 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,
such L/C Issuer 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 and L/C
Issuer 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 ABL 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 Borrowers 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) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to 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 10.06 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 Revolving Facility Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to
it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

  
 157 













         (i) Minimum
Amounts. 
             (A) in the case of an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it 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 10.06, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Facility
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 Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, 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, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 

        (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 Revolving Facility Loans or the Revolving Facility Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) 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 10.06 and, in addition: 

            (A) the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing 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 Parent 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 Parent Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facility; 

  
 158 













             (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 Revolving Facility Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with
a Revolving Facility Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

            (C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line
Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Facility. 

        (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments within an Assignee Group as a single
assignment); 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. 
         (v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (i) to any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries (other than as set forth in Section 10.06(g)), (ii) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) to a natural person. 

        (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 Parent 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 (x) 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) and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Requirement of 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. 

  
 159 













 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 to the Parent Borrower, the Borrowers (at their 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 Section 10.06(d). 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency
being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption 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 L/C Issuers, and the Revolving Facility Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Borrowings owing to, each Lender and L/C Issuer pursuant to the terms hereof from time
to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the
designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ 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 Revolving Facility Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line 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 Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a
Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement 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 (v) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (c) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the 

  
 160 













 
benefits and subject to the requirements 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 Section 10.06(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and
10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Parent Borrower to effectuate 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 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided 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 Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the 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, loans, letters of credit 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, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and 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) Limitation Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with
the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Parent Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) 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. 
 (g)
Resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Facility Commitment and Loans pursuant to
Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower, resign as Swing
Line Lender. In 

  
 161 













 
the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it
shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it which remain outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations
with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as the Swing Line Lender,
it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (ii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
issued by the retiring L/C Issuer and remaining outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information (as defined below) may be disclosed: (i) to its Affiliates and to it and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (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 regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners) in which case the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts ((x) to the extent legally permissible but (y) not in the case of any such requests which are
part of, or arise out of, normal reporting or review procedures to, or examination by, any such regulatory authority) to notify the Parent Borrower prior to such disclosure; (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process in which case the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (to the extent permitted) to notify the Parent Borrower prior to such disclosure; (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 provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their
obligations, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any ratings agency in connection with rating Holdings, the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (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, 

  
 162 













 
(viii) with the consent of the Parent Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 10.07 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis (to their knowledge) from a source other than the Borrowers. For purposes
of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any of them 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 Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Lender may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for
dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise
describing the names of the Loan Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense. 

Each of the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include MNPI concerning Holdings,
the Borrowers or one or more Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and (iii) it will handle such MNPI in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, including federal
and state securities Requirements of Law. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law (subject to the
provisions of the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable) 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 L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or L/C Issuer 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 2.15 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, the L/C Issuers 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


  
 163 













 
such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Parent 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 10.09 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 Requirements of 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
Borrowers. 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 Requirement of 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 ABL Credit Obligations hereunder. 
 Section 10.10
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 and the other Loan Documents 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 4.01, 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 telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.11 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, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or on
their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any
Loan or any other ABL Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 

Section 10.12 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 

  
 164 













 
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 10.12, 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 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Sections 3.06 or 3.01, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Parent Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Parent 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, and consents required by,
Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) 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) the Parent Borrower 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 100% of the
outstanding 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 Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(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 Requirements of Law. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrowers elect to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment
and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and
such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts incurred by or on behalf of the
