the part of Administrative Agent and the Lenders contained in this Amendment substantially and materially exceed any and all value of any kind or nature whatsoever of any claims or other liabilities waived or released by the Loan Parties. 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amendment, the general release set forth in this Amendment shall not extend to

not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Termination Date;
provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

 (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make a
Swingline Loan it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.7 (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) (which telephonic
notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 10:00 a.m., Central time on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during
the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 p.m., Central time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a

account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent, or as otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds. 

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), upon notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 10:00 a.m., Central time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an
amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving 

  
 40 












 Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 3:00
p.m., Central time, on the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded
Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded
Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then
outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 
 (d) Whenever, at any time
after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its
Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest
payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that
such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. 

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests
pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may
have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in

 Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of EurodollarSOFR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the EurodollarSOFR Loans comprising each
EurodollarSOFR
 Tranche shall be equal to $400,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than five (5)
EurodollarSOFR
 Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 
 2.14 Interest Rates and Payment
Dates. 
 (a) Each EurodollarSOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period
with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar
RateTerm SOFR in effect for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin for
EurodollarSOFR
 Loans from time to time in effect during such Interest Period. 
 (b) Each ABR Loan
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans, in each case as from time to time in effect. 

  
 45 












 (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section plus an additional 2% per annum, (ii) if any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) shall, upon election by the Required
Lenders and written notice thereof to the Borrower, thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus an additional 2% per
annum, and (iii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount
shall, upon election by the Required Lenders and written notice thereof to the Borrower, thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus an additional 2% per annum, in each case, with
respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to
Section 2.14(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees; Notes. 

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar RateTerm SOFR. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the ABR or the Eurodollar Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change becomes effective. 
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error 

(c) Upon receipt by an Lender of any Note under this Agreement evidencing its Loans, such Lender agrees that any promissory notes issued under
the Existing Credit Agreement in favor of such Lender with respect to the same type of Loans as such Note shall be deemed replaced by such Note (without effecting a novation with respect to any “Obligations” as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement). 
 2.16 Inability to
Determine Interest Rate. If: 

2.16
Benchmark Replacement Setting. 

  
 46 












 (a) the
Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate,
orBenchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition
of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark
settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
“Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Central
time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other
party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders
comprising the Required Lenders. 
 (b) prior to the first day of any Interest Period the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Required Lenders that they have concluded in good faith that the
Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest
Period, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption
or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to
time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice (confirmed
promptly in writing) thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been
converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period or monthly period, as the case may be, to ABR Loans. Until such
notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar
Loans 

  
 47 













(c)
 Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of
a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of
Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action
or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16. 

(d)
 Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either
(A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such
Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or
aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for
any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, noncompliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a
screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International
Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or
analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(e)
 Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of
notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

 2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee, and any reduction
of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. 

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied as set forth in
Section 2.11(g). The amount of each voluntary principal prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.10. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of (i) principal of the Revolving
Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders and (ii) interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with
the amounts of interest on the Revolving Loans then due and payable to the Revolving Lenders. 
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to
be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., Central time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in US Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders, as applicable, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the
EurodollarSOFR
 Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a EurodollarSOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such extension. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender
prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the
required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.00% and (ii) a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with current banking industry practices on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest 

  
 49 












 error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Borrower against any Lender for such Lender’s failure to fund any borrowing as required by this Agreement. 

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the
Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower on such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal
Funds Rate plus 1.00%, and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with current banking industry practices on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender against the Borrower. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.17 to the contrary, amounts received from
any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party. 
 2.18
Requirements of Law. 
 (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof
or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any EurodollarSOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.19 and Excluded Taxes); 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar RateTerm
SOFR; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other
condition; 

  
 50 












 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining
EurodollarSOFR
 Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by
reason of which it has become so entitled. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption of or any change
in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or other
obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Loan to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which shall include the certificate
described in clause (d) below), the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. 

(c) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any
EurodollarSOFR
 Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make
EurodollarSOFR
 Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into EurodollarSOFR Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar borrowingSOFR
Loan, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan as part of the same borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected EurodollarSOFR Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such EurodollarSOFR Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such EurodollarSOFR Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different lending office if such designation would avoid the need
for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion. 

(d) A certificate in reasonable detail as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any amounts incurred more than six months 

  
 51 












 
prior to the date such Lender notifies the Borrower of its intention to seek such compensation, provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then
such six-month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 2.19 Taxes. 

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding any
Excluded Taxes. If any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings other than Excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes
and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 2.19 or (ii) that
are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to
receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (b) In addition, the
Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof or other documentation evidencing such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 
 (d) Each Lender (or
Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender
from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Service 

  
 52 












 
Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or
881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19(d) and a Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, as applicable, Form W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender (including a Non-U.S. Lender who becomes a party by assignment under Section 10.6) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender
hereunder or under any Notes would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code,
as applicable), such Lender, upon request by either the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (A) a certification signed by an appropriate officer and (B) other documentation
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting
requirements. 
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided
that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 

(f) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender (each such Lender, a “U.S. Lender”) and which is not an “exempt
recipient” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) and (A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement shall (w) on or prior to the
date such U.S. Lender becomes a party hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or
certification previously delivered by it, and (z) from time to time if requested by Borrower, provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from
U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. 

  
 53 












 (g) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to cooperate with the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with any application or other request to, or proceeding with, the applicable Governmental Authority for a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes that are subject to the indemnity pursuant to this
Section 2.19. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.19 with
respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(h) The agreements in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.20 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from,
any loss (other than the loss of anticipated profits) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of EurodollarSOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from EurodollarSOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of EurodollarSOFR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein)
over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar
market. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any payments pursuant to this
Section 2.20 shall be due within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certificate. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


  
 54 












 2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to (or, if
reasonably requested by the Borrower, to file any certificate or document to) designate another lending office for any Commitment or Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such
designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section shall
affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a). 

2.22 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests payment of, or reimbursement
for, amounts under Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans under
Section 2.7(c), or (c) fails to consent to any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver with respect to any of the provisions of the Loan Documents as contemplated in Section 10.1 where such amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders in accordance with such Section, but the consent of each Lender is required with respect thereto, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does
not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under
Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans, interest, fees,
and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any EurodollarSOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as
the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

2.23 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender
will not be entitled to any commitment fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.8(a) (but without prejudice to the rights of the Revolving Lenders other than any Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), and the
pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.17 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.23(a).

 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with the prior written approval of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender on not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
(which will promptly notify the other Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.23(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of any such Defaulting Lender in respect of its
Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, or any other Revolving Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) If any Revolving
Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding
(such Defaulting Lender’s “Swingline Exposure”): 
 (i) The Swingline Lender is hereby authorized by
the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, a borrowing notice pursuant to Section 2.5 in such amounts and at such times as may be required
to repay an outstanding Swingline Loan, as applicable; 
 (ii) The Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days
after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Swingline Lender) (x) Cash Collateralize a portion of the obligations of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, (y) in
the case of such Swingline Exposure, prepay all Swingline Loans, or (z) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of
non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; provided that no such Cash Collateralization will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and 
 (iii) Any amount paid by the
Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender in respect of its Revolving Commitment or its Revolving Extensions of Credit (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to
such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Revolving Commitments, at which time the funds in such account will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the following order of priority: first, to the 

  
 56 












 
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Swingline Lender under this Agreement; third, to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and
payable to them; fourth, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; fifth, to pay principal then due
and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them; sixth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders; and
seventh, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

2.24 Eurodollar Replacement
Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time: 

(a) (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, or
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.14(a) for any requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as
conclusively certified by such Lenders) of funding such Loan and in either event, such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 

(b) the circumstances set forth in (a) above have not
arisen, but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Base Rates or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Rate shall
no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or that the Eurodollar Rate will no longer be representative, 

then, in either event, reasonably promptly thereafter the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such event and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to designate an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Base Rates that gives due consideration to any evolving or
then-existing convention for the use of alternative benchmarks and adjustments in the context of similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities (such rate being referred to as the “Eurodollar Replacement
Rate”) and, notwithstanding
anything in Section 10.1
to the contrary or any other provision of this Agreement, shall enter into an amendment amending this Agreement and any other relevant Loan Documents (the “Amendment”), to reflect such alternate rate of interest and
such other related changes (including without limitation changes with respect to the Applicable Margin) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of this paragraph and to
achieve a final all-in interest rate substantially similar as of the effective date of the Amendment to that in effect prior to the occurrence of the event set forth above (collectively, “Eurodollar Replacement Rate Conforming
Changes”). The Amendment shall become effective upon the date specified in the notice. No replacement of the Eurodollar Rates with a Eurodollar Replacement Rate pursuant to this paragraph shall occur prior to the effective date for
such Amendment. 

  
 57 












 The
Eurodollar Replacement Rate shall specify that in no event shall such Eurodollar Replacement Rate be less than 0.50%. Such Eurodollar Replacement Rate and Eurodollar Replacement Rate Conforming Changes shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the
extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Eurodollar Replacement Rate and Eurodollar Replacement Rate Conforming Changes shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower. 
 SECTION 3. RESERVED 

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, each of Holdings and the Borrower
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte, (ii) the unaudited balance sheet of Trean and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2020 and
the related statements of income and of cash flows for the period ended on such date, and (iii) the pro forma balance sheet balance sheet of Trean and its Subsidiaries reflecting the closing of the Existing Credit Agreement, presented fairly in all
material respects the financial position of Trean and its Subsidiaries, as at such dates, and the results of operations and cash flows of Trean and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the respective fiscal periods then ended. All such financial
statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except, in the case of the audited financial statements, as approved by the aforementioned
firm of accountants and disclosed therein, and except, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, for the absence of customary year-end adjustments and notes thereto). As of December 31, 2019, Trean and its Subsidiaries, had no material
Guarantee Obligations or other material contingent liabilities or liabilities for taxes or long term leases, including any interest rate swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that were not reflected in the most
recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or in the notes thereto that otherwise would be required to be disclosed as liabilities in accordance with GAAP. 

  
 58 












 (b) The Projections were prepared by Trean based upon estimates and assumptions that Trean
believes to be reasonable and fair on the First Amended and Restated Closing Date in light of current conditions and facts known to Trean and, as of the First Amended and Restated Closing Date, reflected Trean’s good faith estimates of the
future financial performance of Trean and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and of the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that such Projections were and
remain subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Group Members, and that no assurance can be given that such Projections will actually be realized. 

(c) The pro forma unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Trean and its Subsidiaries, a copy of which was delivered to each Lender, was
prepared as of March 31, 2020 (which was prepared using the March 31, 2020 balance sheet referred to in clause (a) above) and presented fairly in all material respects as of such date, on a pro forma basis, the consolidated
financial position of Trean and its Subsidiaries after giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). 

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2019, there has been no development, event or change in condition that has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each

Effect. 
 (b) None of the Group Members (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary) (i) has been, is or will be in violation of any
applicable Requirement of Law, including any building, zoning, occupational safety, products warranty or liability, fair employment, equal opportunity, pension, or similar federal, state or local law, statute, ordinance or regulation, relating to
the ownership or operation of its business or assets, (ii) has failed to obtain any license, permit, certificate, consent, qualification, waiver, approval, registration or other governmental authorization necessary for the conduct of its
business or the ownership and operation of its assets, (iii) to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, has received any notice from any Governmental Authority, and no such notice is pending or threatened, alleging that any Group Member has
violated, or has not complied with, any Requirement of Law, condition or standard applicable with respect to any of the foregoing, or (iv) is subject to any judgment, order, or writ, except to the extent that any violation, noncompliance,
failure, judgment, etc. as described in this Section 4.3(b), either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 59 












 4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and
authority to make, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of a Loan Party in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other

Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution and delivery will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan
Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable
principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the borrowings hereunder will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Group Member or any material Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, and will not result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law
or Contractual Obligation applicable to any of the Loan Parties could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.6
Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against any Group Members (other than
Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or against any of their respective properties or revenues (i) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 60 












 4.7 No Default. No Group Members (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) are in
default under or with respect to any of their Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

leasehold interest in, or otherwise has rights to use, all its personal Property, in each case where such personal Property is used or contemplated for use in the Business or reflected in such Group Member’s financial statements, and none of

by Sections 7.3(a), (b), (e) or (h). As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9 contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Material Real Estate Assets and (ii) all leases, subleases or
assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting each leasehold interests in Real Estate Assets, regardless of whether such Loan Party is the landlord or tenant
(whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence is in full force and effect, the Borrower does not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan
Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by
equitable principles. 
 4.10 Intellectual Property. Each Group Member (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary) owns, or is licensed
to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted, except where the failure to own or possess any licenses to use such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member (other than any Unrestricted Subsidiary) does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except where, individually or in the aggregate, any such infringement could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claims have been asserted and are pending by any Persons challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property owned by such Group Member,
nor does the Borrower or Holdings know of any valid basis for any such claim, except where, individually or in the aggregate, any such claims could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 61 












 4.11 Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and
material state tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid prior to delinquency thereof all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property with respect to such Federal and
material state tax returns (other than any taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the
relevant Group Member). 
 4.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit
hereunder, will be used (a) for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect, of the Board

4.14 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the minimum funding standard applicable to any Plan for any plan year
(as described in Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied
with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except where, individually or in the aggregate, such occurrence or non-compliance has not resulted and could not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Group Members
taken as a whole. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period, except where, individually or in the aggregate, such termination or Lien has not resulted
and could not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Group Members taken as a whole. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as
of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither Holdings nor the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither Holdings nor


  
 62 












 
the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if Holdings, the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 

4.15 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company” required to be registered as such, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law that limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness. 
 4.16 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, (a) Schedule 4.16 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of
organization or formation of each Subsidiary of Holdings and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or
other agreements or commitments (other than those granted to current or former officers, employees or directors and current or former directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of Holdings or any other Group
Member, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.16. 
 4.17 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the First Amended
and Restated Closing Date (which shall not be deemed to include, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) were, and have been or will be, required to be used (i) for Borrower to pay a
one-time distribution to Holdings (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) in an amount not to exceed $18,153,897, which in turn paid a one-time distribution to its equity holders (the “First Amended and Restated Closing Date
Distribution”), and (ii) to pay transaction costs and expenses arising in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), or in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. The proceeds of all Revolving Loans made after the Closing Date shall be used to finance Permitted Acquisitions, to provide for working capital, to fund capital expenditures, and for other lawful general corporate

(b) to refinance any commercial paper, (c) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, or
(d) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country. The proceeds of any Qualified Initial Public Offering of Holdings shall be used
(x) first, to make the Restricted Payment permitted by Section 7.6(j)(i), second to repay the Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.2(o) in full and thereby discharge the liens and security interests
permitted by Sections 7.3(n) and (o), third to make the Investment permitted by Section 7.7(n)(i) and fourth to make the Restricted Payment permitted by Section


  
 63 












 
7.6(j)(ii) and (y) subsequently to pay transaction costs and expenses arising in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and such Qualified Initial Public Offering
and/or to provide for working capital, to fund capital expenditures, to make investments in the Benchmark entitiesEntities in accordance with Section 7.7(n)(ii) and for other
lawful general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) the facilities and Real Estate
Assets owned, leased or operated by any Group Members (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or
constituted a violation of, or would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law;

of their facilities in violation of, or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law; 

(d) no judicial proceedings or governmental or administrative actions are pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Responsible Officers,
threatened, under any Environmental Laws to which any Group Members (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) are or will be named as parties with respect to their facilities or their businesses, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees,
consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial determinations outstanding under any Environmental Law to which any Group Members (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) are or would reasonably be expected
to be named as parties with respect to their facilities or businesses; 
 (e) there have been no releases or threats of releases of Hazardous
Materials at or from any Group Members’ (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries’) facilities or businesses, or arising from or related to the operations of any Group Members in connection with their facilities or businesses, or otherwise in

 64

 (b) As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership
Certification (if applicable) is true and correct in all respects.

Stock (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), when any certificates representing any such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement or other governmental filing, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.20 in appropriate form are filed in the offices
specified on Schedule 4.20, the security interest granted by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds
thereof, as security for the respective Grantors’ Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock,

Unrestricted Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary or a combination of an Unrestricted Subsidiary with a Restricted Subsidiary in which the Restricted Subsidiary survives), the Loan Parties shall be deemed to continue to have a permanent Investment

of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation, combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the

be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

expense of the Loan Parties.

 SECTION 7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS 

Each of Holdings and each other Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as any Commitments remain in effect or any Loan or other amount (other
than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) is owing to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall, or shall permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly: 
 7.1 Financial Condition Covenants. 

(a) Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio. Permit the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio as at the end of any fiscal quarter of Holdings
ending on or after June 30, 2020 to exceed the applicable ratio set forth below opposite such fiscal quarter: 
  

			
	 Fiscal Quarter Ending
	  	Consolidated
Senior Leverage Ratio
	 December 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021
	  	4.00 to 1.00
	 June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022
	  	3.75 to 1.00
	 June 30, 2022 through March 31, 2023
	  	3.50 to 1.00
	 June 30, 2023 through March 31, 2024
	  	3.25 to 1.00
	 June 30, 2024 and each fiscal quarter thereafter
	  	3.00 to 1.00

 (b) Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as at
the end of any fiscal quarter of Holdings ending on or after September 30, 2020 to be less than 1.20:1.00. 
 (c) Cure Right. In
the event that the Borrower fails to comply with one or both of the financial covenants set forth in this Section 7.1 for any fiscal quarter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower shall have the right (the
“Cure Right”), until the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day subsequent to the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal
quarter, to obtain an equity contribution, in cash, in an aggregate amount equal to, but not in excess of, the amount necessary to cure the breach, Default or Event of Default in connection with the relevant financial covenant (the
“Specified Equity Contribution”) if such Specified Equity Contribution constituted Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenants, and upon the receipt by the Borrower of the cash proceeds
thereof, the financial covenants shall then be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: (i) Consolidated EBITDA shall be deemed to be increased for the applicable fiscal quarter and for the subsequent three consecutive
fiscal quarters by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution and paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.11; (ii) the mandatory prepayment of the Obligations
made with respect to such Specified Equity Contribution shall not serve as: (A) a reduction or increase to Excess Cash Flow or (B) a reduction to Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio or


  
 82 












 
the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the applicable fiscal quarter and the subsequent three consecutive fiscal quarters; (iii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing
recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of all financial covenants in this Section 7.1, the Borrower shall be deemed to have been in compliance with such financial covenants 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, Default or Event of Default in connection with such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed not to
have occurred for this purpose of this Agreement; and (iv) the deemed increase in Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to clause (i) above shall be for the sole purpose of measuring the financial covenants and not for any other purpose under this
Agreement including determining availability under any covenant basket or determining any ability to consummate any Permitted Acquisition. In the event that: (i) no Default or Event of Default exists other than that arising due to failure of
the Borrower to comply with the financial covenants set forth in this Section 7.1, and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice of its intention to exercise the Cure Right (which notice shall be
delivered no earlier than fifteen (15) days prior to, and no later than the fifth (5th) day subsequent to, the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered for
the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder), which exercise if fully consummated would be sufficient in accordance with the terms hereof to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenants as of the relevant date of determination,
then from and following receipt by Administrative Agent of any such notice and until the date that is the earlier of: (x) the tenth (10th) Business Day subsequent to the date the applicable financial statements are required to be delivered
and (y) the date, if any, on which the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that such Cure Right shall not be exercised (such period referred to herein as the “Financial Covenant Standstill Period”), then
neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any remedies set forth in Section 8, exercise any rights with respect to the Collateral or exercise any other remedies available to such parties under the Loan Documents or
otherwise during such period; provided that (A) there shall be no limitation upon the ability of Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise remedies if a Default or Event of Default other than one arising by reason of the breach of
the financial covenants has occurred and is continuing during the Financial Covenant Standstill Period and (B) during the Financial Covenant Standstill Period, the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow Loans hereunder or otherwise take actions
hereunder that may only be taken when no Default or Event of Default then exists. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Borrower be permitted to exercise the Cure Right hereunder (x) more than two (2) times
in any four consecutive fiscal quarters, (y) in any two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, or (z) more than four (4) times in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 
 9.1
Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent,
in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 

  
 98 












 9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of
any Loan Party. 
 9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and other Obligations. 

  
 99 












 9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is
a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a
Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates. 
 9.7 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.5 and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate
Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, 

  
 100 












 
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity. 
 9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten
(10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor agent
for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent
shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s
rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor
agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders and, if applicable, the Borrower, appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After
any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

  
 101

supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of Required Lenders) and
(y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of
any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of mandatory
reduction of Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this
Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (or otherwise modify the definition of Required Lender), consent to the assignment or transfer by
the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release all or any substantial portion of the Guarantors from their obligations under
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders unless otherwise expressly permitted herein or in any other Loan Document; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.17(a),
2.17(b) or 2.17(c), or of the first two sentences of Section 2.17(d), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; (vii) eliminate or
reduce the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans or Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11 without the written consent of all of the Lenders; or (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of
the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans or other Obligations. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 102 












 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to
include appropriately Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of Required Lenders, provided, that, in no event shall this provision be construed to imply that any Lender shall have any obligation of provide such additional credit
facilities or extensions of credit.

 104 












 10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and
filing and recording fees and expenses, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative
Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying any Non-Excluded Taxes or any Other Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in
connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, trustees, advisors and controlling persons (each,
an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance
with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee
against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee
with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee, or from the breach by such Indemnitee of its material obligations to the Borrower, Holdings or another Indemnitee under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable
law, each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all
claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due
under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 (ten) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder,
the termination of any Commitments hereunder, and the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Group Member shall be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of
(i) more than one outside counsel (in addition to special counsel and up to one local outside counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all the Indemnitees, unless, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, representation
of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest or (ii) the in-house counsel of any Lender or the Administrative Agent. 

  
 105 












 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an
“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender who is under common control with such Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of (I) all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (II) all or any portion of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment to a Lender that is a Revolving
Lender immediately prior to such assignment. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender who is under common control with such Lender or an Approved
Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Facility) or $3,000,000 (in the case of the Term Facility) unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 106 












 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender,
(b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.18 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5); provided that the
assignment of a Revolving Commitment by any Lender to an Approved Fund shall not relieve the assigning Lender of any of its obligations to fund a Loan under such Revolving Commitment if, for any reason, its Approved Fund fails to fund any such Loan,
unless the Borrower has given its prior written consent to such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 10.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy
of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

  
 107 












 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section
and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall
be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. This Section 10.6(b) shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form”
within the meanings of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to
the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18, 2.19 or
2.20 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 Borrower’s prior written consent.
Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.19(d). 

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
commitments, 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 

  
 108 












 Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code. 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. 

(d) Any Lender may (without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans and any Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement) to secure obligations or securities of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, and any
pledge or assignment to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued by such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate
transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
 10.7 Adjustments; Setoff. 

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a
particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8, receive any payment of all
or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest
in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

  
 109 












 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such
Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such
Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 10.8
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts or copies, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof for all purposes. One or more counterparts or copies of this Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties hereto, and some different counterparts or copies executed by one or more of the other parties. Each counterpart or copy hereof executed by any party hereto shall be binding upon the party executing same even though other parties may execute
one or more different counterparts or copies, and all counterparts or copies hereof so executed shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Each party hereto, by execution of one or more counterparts or copies hereof, expressly authorizes the
Administrative Agent to detach the signature pages from any such counterpart or copy hereof executed by the authorizing party and affix same to one or more other identical counterparts or copies hereof so that upon execution of multiple counterparts
or copies hereof by all parties hereto, there shall be one or more counterparts or copies hereof to which is(are) attached signature pages containing signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to
the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

  
 111 












 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or
duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith
or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise

 10.14 Termination;
Releases of Guarantees and Liens. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect
of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction expressly permitted by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or
(ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) At such time as the Loans and the other obligations
under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and the
obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements shall have been cash collateralized, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security
Documents and all obligations (other than those stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any
Person. 
 10.15 Interest and Loan Charges. Anything in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds of the Loans, acceleration of the maturity of the unpaid balance of the Loans or otherwise, shall the interest and loan charges agreed to be paid to any Lender for
the use of money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time. It is understood and agreed by the parties that, if for any reason whatsoever the interest or loan
charges paid or contracted to be paid by the Borrower in respect of the Loans or any of the other Obligations shall exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time, then ipso facto, the obligation to
pay such interest or loan charges shall be reduced to the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by any Lender that exceed such maximum amounts shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal balance of the Obligations or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the Loans and the other Obligations exceed the maximum amounts permitted from time to time by
applicable law. 

  
 112

Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or

reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to use information related to the arrangement of
the Facilities in connection with marketing, press releases and other transactional announcements and updates provided to investor or trade publications, including the placement of “tombstone” advertisements in publications of their
choice, and the Borrower grants to the Administrative Agent permission to use the logos and marks of the Sponsor and the Borrower, as well as the names of the Sponsor and the Borrower (together, the “Client Mark”), in such press
releases and transactional announcements. The Administrative Agent acknowledges that the Client Mark shall remain the sole property of the Sponsor and the Borrower and that all references to the Sponsor, the Borrower or the Client Mark by
Administrative Agent will be truthful and not misleading in any way. This Section 10.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

10.17 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 10.18 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender (for itself and not on behalf of any other
party) hereby notifies each of the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act. 

10.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan
Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by
an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or
a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

10.20 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, to which the obligations of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties are subject. 

10.21 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or
otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect
to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the
“U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by
the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
 (a) In the event a Covered Entity
that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and
obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in 

  
 114 












 
property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of
a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered
Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of
the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC
or any QFC Credit Support. 
 (b) As used in this Section 10.21, the following terms have the following meanings: 

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and
interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 
 (ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the
following: 
 (A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

 (B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or 

(C) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.
§ § 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1 as applicable. 
 (iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term
“qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). 
 10.22 Amendment and
Restatement. 
 (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be dated on or before the
Closing Date and not already in effect do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and that all such obligations are in all respects continued
and outstanding as Obligations under this Agreement except to the extent such Obligations are modified from and after the Closing Date as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender that was a Lender (as defined in the
Existing Credit Agreement) party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby agrees that this Agreement amends 

  
 115 












 and restates the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety effective as of the Closing Date; provided that
for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower hereby reaffirms that the Collateral and the Loan Documents shall continue to secure, guarantee, support and otherwise benefit the Obligations on the same terms as prior to the effectiveness hereof. Upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement, each Loan Document (other than the Existing Credit Agreement) that was in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement shall continue to be effective on its terms unless otherwise expressly stated herein.

 (b) The Borrower, the other Loan Parties and Administrative Agent agree that all principal, interest, fees, costs, reimbursable expenses
and indemnification obligations accruing or arising under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement which remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Closing Date shall be and remain outstanding and payable as an obligation under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
