Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to

Administrative Agent for payment to each Lender, each Lender’s Swing Line 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 Swing Line Loans then due);

under the Existing Credit Agreement to deliver to the Borrower as soon as practicable after the Closing Date the Note issued by the Borrower to it under the Existing Credit Agreement, marked “canceled” or an affidavit that such note has

other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such
Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit
(including the amount thereof). 
 2.2.3 Letter of Credit Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay the Issuing Lender a fronting fee in an amount agreed between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender (but not
less than 0.125% per annum on the face amount of the Letter of Credit), payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, for the term of the Letter of Credit, together with the Issuing Lender’s customary letter of
credit issuance and processing fees. The fronting fee and customary letter of credit issuance and processing fees shall be retained by the Issuing Lender, which fee shall not be shared with the other Lenders. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent a fee equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate (on a per
annum basis) shown on the Pricing Schedule times the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (as reduced from time to time), payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, for the term of the Letter of
Credit and shall be shared by the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders on the basis of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share. 

2.2.4 L/C Participations. 
 (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to
accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Pro Rata Share
in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under
any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it
at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount that is not so reimbursed
(or is so returned). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount 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 L/C Participant may have against the Issuing 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


  
 - 29 -








 
failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing 

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.4(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an
amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to
Section 2.2.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans that are Floating Rate Advances. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing
under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender
has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Pro Rata Share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.2.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether
directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its Pro Rata Share thereof;
provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously
distributed by the Issuing Lender to it. 
 2.2.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under
any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not
apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds.
Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, the Floating Rate and (y) thereafter, the
rate set forth in Section 2.10. 

  
 - 30 -








 2.2.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this
Section 2.2 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.2.5 shall not be affected by, among other
things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 

2.2.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of
Credit. 
 2.2.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2, the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall apply. 
 2.2.9
Guaranty of Subsidiaries. The Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt and punctual payment of all Obligations of all Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent and Lenders arising from the issuance of any Letters of
Credit for the account of one or more Subsidiaries. 
 2.3 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then within 365 days after the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall
receive Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may use the Net Available Cash from such Asset Sale to acquire Additional Assets, If the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries do not so use any or all of such Net
Available Cash, then on the 366th day after its receipt the Net Available Cash not so used shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.3(b). The requirement in the first sentence of this
Section 2.3(a) shall be deemed to be satisfied if any agreement (including a lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to 

  
 - 31 -








 
therein is entered into by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries within the time period specified in such sentence and such Net Available Cash is subsequently applied in accordance with such
agreement within six months following the execution of such agreement. 
 (b) Amounts to be applied in connection with
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.11. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be made, first, to Floating Rate
Advances and, second, to Eurodollar Advances. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.3 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and any amounts owing pursuant to
Section 3.3. 
 2.4 Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Loan Commitments; Other Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, to be shared by the Revolving Lenders on the basis of each Revolving
Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the daily unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment during the Revolving Commitment Period, payable quarterly in arrears on last day of
each calendar quarter hereafter and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date. For the purposes hereof, “unused portion” shall mean the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, minus the aggregate principal amount outstanding on all Revolving
Loans, minus the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment for purposes of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder. 

(b) The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in whole or in part ratably among the Revolving Lenders in
integral multiples of $1,000,000, upon at least five Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loan and the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements
with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 
 2.5 Minimum Amount of Each Loan
Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than an Advance to repay a Swing Line Loan) shall be in the minimum amount
of $200,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 

2.6 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (or the full 

  
 - 32 -








 
outstanding balance of all Floating Rate Advances, if less than such minimum), upon one Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may from time to time pay,
subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.3 but otherwise without penalty or premium, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, any portion (or
the full outstanding balance of all Eurodollar Advances, if less than such minimum) of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Prepayments shall be applied as provided in
Section 2.11. 
 2.7 Method of Selecting Types and Eurodollar Interest Periods. The Borrower shall select the Type
of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the manner set forth in Section 2.13 (a
“Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least one Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each
Eurodollar Advance, specifying: 
  

	 	(a)	the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance; 

  

	 	(b)	the aggregate amount of such Advance; 

  

	 	(c)	the Type of Advance selected; and 

  

	 	(d)	in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available in New York City to the Administrative Agent at the
Funding Office. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. The Borrower shall not be entitled to more than six Eurodollar Rate tranches
and one Floating Rate tranche at any one time on the Revolving Loans and the Borrower shall not be entitled to more than two Eurodollar Rate tranches and one Floating Rate tranche at any one time on the Term Loans. 

2.8 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as
Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.8 or are repaid. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then
applicable Eurodollar Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.6 or
(y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Eurodollar Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same
or another Eurodollar Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance, provided that no Floating Rate Advance may be


  
 - 33 -








 
converted into a Eurodollar Advance when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their reasonable
discretion not to permit such conversions. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the manner set forth in Section 2.13 (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate
Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: 

(a) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, 

(b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and 

(c) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Eurodollar
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 2.9 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing
Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to
Section 2.8, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any
Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of
the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Eurodollar Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the
Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.7 and 2.8 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Eurodollar Interest Period with respect to any Revolving Loan may end after the Revolving Loan Termination Date and no Eurodollar Interest
Period with respect to any Term Loan may end after the maturity date thereof. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to select Eurodollar Interest Periods so that it is not necessary to repay any portion of a Eurodollar Advance prior
to the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period in order to make a mandatory or scheduled repayment required by this Agreement. 
 2.10 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 or 2.8, during the continuance of an Event of Default or Default the Required Lenders
may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.12 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare
that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.2, 7.6 or 7.7 (i) each Eurodollar Advance (in the case of an Event of Default under
Section 7.2, with respect to which such Event of Default shall exist) shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Eurodollar Interest Period plus 2% per annum
and (ii) each Floating Rate 

  
 - 34 -








 
Advance (in the case of an Event of Default under Section 7.2, with respect to which such Event of Default shall exist) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in
effect from time to time plus 2% per annum. 
 2.11 Method of Payment. 

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any fees (except as set forth in
any agreement governing the payment thereof) and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Pro Rata Shares, 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 Loans shall be made pro
rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. 
 (c) The amount of
each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce then remaining installments of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof.

 (d) All payments of the Secured Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in
immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due and, shall (except with respect to repayment of the Swing Line Loan) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the
Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at the Funding Office or at any Lending Installation specified
in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and bank fees as
they become due hereunder; all other fees due hereunder shall be paid by Borrower upon the receipt of an invoice at Borrower’s address. 
 2.12 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Obligations. 
 (a) Each Lender shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it
will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Eurodollar Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

  
 - 35 -








 (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and
(b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any
error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 
 (d) Any Lender may request that its Loans or the Swing Line Lender may request that its Swing Line Loan, be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
for such Loans payable to such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to
Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and
requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
 2.13 Borrowing
Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on email, facsimile or telephonic notices made by any
person or persons the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to
be given in such manner. If the Borrower elects to provide telephonic notice as set forth herein, the Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative
Agent, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation of the telephonic notice differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the
Administrative Agent shall govern absent manifest error. 
 2.14 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest
accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof and at maturity. Interest at the Floating Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis
of a 365-day (366-day in leap year) basis. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Eurodollar Interest Period (or if the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period is greater than three months, on
the last day of the third month of such Eurodollar Interest Period), on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest at the Eurodollar Rate and fees shall be calculated for
actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any
payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included
in computing interest in connection with such payment. 

  
 - 36 -








 2.15 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.
Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it
hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate and Eurodollar Interest Period applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each
change in the Alternate Base Rate. 
 2.16 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending
Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender
for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be
made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. 
 2.17 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in
the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal or interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to
the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing
on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for
such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. 

2.18 Collateral and Guarantees. 
 (a) On the Closing Date, subject to Section 6.21, the Secured Obligations shall be secured by the following on a pari passu basis: 

(i) first priority perfected security interest in all inventory, accounts, equipment, instruments, chattel paper,
documents, general intangibles (and proceeds thereof and in the case of inventory, all products thereof) of the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary having a total Book Value exceeding $35,000,000 as of the date hereof; 

(ii) first priority perfected ship mortgage on the liftboats owned by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary as of the
date hereof; 

  
 - 37 -








 (iii) first priority perfected security interest in all outstanding shares
of stock or partnership or membership interests, as the case may be, of each Domestic Subsidiary having a total Book Value exceeding $35,000,000 as of the date hereof; 

(iv) first priority perfected security interest in 66% of the outstanding equity interests of each first tier Foreign
Subsidiary owned directly by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary as of the date hereof (or if the Borrower or the Domestic Subsidiaries shall own less than 66% of the outstanding equity interests, then all of the equity interests owned by them)
and having a total Book Value exceeding $35,000,000; 
 (v) first priority perfected security interest in the
Parent’s entire membership interest of the Borrower; 
 (vi) joint and several guaranties by each of the
Domestic Subsidiaries having a total Book Value exceeding $35,000,000 as of the date hereof; and 
 (vii) joint
and several guaranty by the Parent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Book Value of all Domestic Subsidiaries not
subject to the guaranty and collateral requirements of this Section 2.18 shall at no time exceed $250,000,000. 
 (b) In the
case of any Domestic Subsidiary that is not previously subject to the collateral requirements set forth in Section 2.18(a) but which has a total Book Value exceeding $35,000,000 at the end of any fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, the
Borrower covenants and agrees to execute or cause to be executed, within 60 days after the end of such fiscal quarter, Collateral Documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to subject such Domestic Subsidiary to the
collateral requirements set forth in Section 2.18(a). The Borrower shall also, if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent certificates and legal opinions relating to the matters described above, which opinions
shall be in form and substance, and from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Once a Domestic Subsidiary has executed Collateral Documents, the Collateral Documents for that Domestic Subsidiary shall remain in effect
irrespective of its total Book Value. 
 (c) On the Closing Date, the amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit that will be
secured by the Collateral will be limited to the lowest maximum principal amount permitted to be secured under (x) the Indenture dated as of April 27, 2011 relating to the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2011 Notes”)
and (y) the Indenture dated as of May 22, 2006 relating to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2006 Notes”) without triggering the equal and ratable provisions thereof, provided that upon delivery of consolidated
financial statements after the Closing Date to the trustee for the holders of the 2011 Notes and the 2006 Notes, such limitations on the principal amount of the Obligations secured by the Collateral set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above
shall be eliminated. 
 2.19 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

  
 - 38 -








 (a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) The Commitment amounts outstanding on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.12); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the
vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of any waiver, amendment or modification (i) requiring the consent of all Lenders or (ii) described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first proviso in Section 9.12. 

(c) If any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure does
not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitment; 
 (ii) if the reallocation
described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash
collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if
the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the
L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized. 
 (d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and any Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any
Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower. 

  
 - 39 -








 (e) Any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative
Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the cash collateralization of any participating interest
in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit (in which case any cash collateral posted by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be released to the Borrower in an equal amount), (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the funding of any Revolving
Loan for the account of the Defaulting Lender, and (vii) seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender
to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the
other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 

(g) The Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require that the Defaulting
Lender assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Article XII of this Agreement in the case of voluntary assignments by a Lender) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) such assignee shall have received the prior written approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Obligations owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). 
 (h) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Lender or
the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to 

  
 - 40 -








 
extend credit, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the
Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect
of such Lender hereunder. 
 2.20 Incremental Facilities. 

(a) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may, from time to time after delivery of its financial statements
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an
Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such increase and the Facility or Facilities involved, (ii) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) the
amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, which shall comply with Section 2.1.3(d) and (y) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans; provided, that if the total yield (calculated for both the Incremental
Term Loans and the Term Loans, including the upfront fees and any interest rate floors) in respect of any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Term Loans, the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans shall be increased so that
the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is no higher than the total yield for the existing Term Loans. All Incremental Term Loans will mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the
consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of borrowings of Incremental Term Loans and the aggregate amount of incremental Revolving Commitments obtained after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed $200,000,000 and
(ii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (x) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000 and (y) no more than four Increased Facility Closing Dates may be
selected by the Borrower after the Closing Date. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.20(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender
Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party
hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 
 (c) Unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date with respect to Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Commitment from each Lender participating in the relevant increase
in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Loan (and, in the case of Eurodollar Advances, of each Eurodollar tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Eurodollar tranche
had been borrowed or effected on such Increased Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount 

  
 - 41 -








 
of each such Type or Eurodollar tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected had been proportionately increased. The Eurodollar Base Rate applicable to any Eurodollar Advance borrowed pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall equal the Eurodollar Base Rate then applicable to the Eurodollar Advance of the other Lenders in the same Eurodollar tranche or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be
agreed upon between the Borrower and the relevant Lender. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Increased Facility Activation Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans evidenced
thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 

ARTICLE III 

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES 
 3.1 Yield Protection; Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. 
 (a)
Subject to Section 3.1(b), if, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending
Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) subjects any Lender to any Taxes with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any
Eurodollar Advance, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect thereof, or (ii) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate
applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Advances (or in the case of (i), any of its Loans or Letters of
Credit), or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender in connection with its Eurodollar Advances (or in the case of (i), any of its Loans or Letters of Credit), or requires any Lender to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
Eurodollar Advances (or in the case of (i), any Loans or Letters of Credit) held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining its Eurodollar Advances, Commitment or Loans or participating in Letters of Credit, as applicable, or to reduce the return received by such Lender, in connection with such Eurodollar Advances, Commitment, Loans or Letters of Credit, as
applicable, then within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. For purposes of this
Section 3.1, “Lender” includes an Issuing Lender and a Lending Installation. 

  
 - 42 -








 (b) If a Lender determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to
compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its Commitment to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such
Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by
the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a Change, regardless of the date
enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
 (d) A certificate as to 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 three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such 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. 
 3.2 Availability of Types of Advances.
If any Lender reasonably determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Advances at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders
determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining
Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding
indemnification amounts required by Section 3.3. 

  
 - 43 -








 3.3 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date
which is not the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise (but excluding a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.3), or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified
by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits
acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance. 
 3.4 Taxes. 

(a) All payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes; provided if any Taxes or Other Taxes are required by applicable law (as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent) to be
withheld from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.4) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (b) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (c) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any interest, additions to tax or
penalties applicable thereto (“Other Taxes”) to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Loan Party, 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. If (i) such Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority,
(ii) the Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) and
(ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii). Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.5. A certificate as
to the amount of such payments delivered to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 - 44 -








 (d) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 3.4(d)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall,
to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan
Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower 

  
 - 45 -








 
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) to the extent a Non-U.S.
Lender is not the beneficial owner of the Loans, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS
Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 - 46 -








 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.4(e). 
 (f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 (g)
For purposes of this Section 3.4, the term “Lender” includes an Issuing Lender. 
 3.5 Lender Statements;
Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Advances to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and
3.4 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall
be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Advance shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Advance
through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the
amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement. 

  
 - 47 -








 3.6 Replacement of Lender. If (a) the Borrower is required pursuant to
Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (b) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3,
(c) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) any Lender does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent
of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders (with the percentage in such definition being deemed to be 80% for this purpose) has been obtained), then the Borrower may elect upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender (the “Affected Lender”) as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date,
to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of
the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.2 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement
(A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1,
3.2 and 3.4, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the
replacement Lender. 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.

(o) Accuracy of Purchase Agreement Representations and Specified Representations. The representations made by the Target in the
Purchase Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the accuracy of any such representation is a condition to the Parent’s and the Borrower’s obligations to close under the Merger Documentation
or the Parent and the Borrower have the right to terminate their obligations under the Purchase Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Representations”) and the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.12, 5.15 and 5.17 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Representations”), shall be true and correct in all material respects; provided that
(i) notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or any letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, a failure of any Purchase Agreement Representation to be true and correct in
all material respects shall not result in a failure of a condition to the initial availability of the Loans on the Closing Date, unless such failure results in a failure of a condition precedent to the Parent’s and the Borrower’s
obligation to consummate the Merger or such failure gives the Parent and the Borrower the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate the Parent’s and the Borrower’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and
(ii) to the extent any of the Specified Representations is qualified or subject to “Material Adverse Effect” (or an equivalent term), for purposes of the making of such Specified Representation as of the Closing Date (or a date prior
thereto), the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” (or such equivalent terms) shall be “Buyer Material Adverse Effect”. 
 (p) No Change. Since January 1, 2011, (i) except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (each schedule of which corresponds to a numbered

Disclosure Letter to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure is responsive or applicable), (ii) except as set forth in the Company SEC Reports (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) filed with the SEC between
January 1, 2010 and the date of the Purchase Agreement (including information set forth in any exhibit thereto, but excluding any disclosure set forth in any risk factor section, any disclosure in any section relating to forward looking
statements or any other statements that are predictive or primarily cautionary in nature other than any historical facts included therein, the “Specified Company SEC Disclosure”), to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that
the 

  
 - 51 -








 disclosure in the Specified Company SEC Disclosure is responsive to the matters set forth in Article 4 of
the Purchase Agreement, (iii) except as disclosed in the Specified Company SEC Disclosure filed after January 1, 2011 but before the date of the Purchase Agreement, (iv) except as set forth in the Parent Disclosure Letter (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) (each schedule of which corresponds to a numbered and/or lettered section of the Purchase Agreement and of which disclosure made in any section of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed for all
purposes of the Purchase Agreement and all other sections of the Parent Disclosure Letter to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure is responsive or applicable), (v) except as set forth in the Parent SEC Reports (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) filed with the SEC between January 1, 2010 and the date of the Purchase Agreement (including information set forth in any exhibit thereto, but excluding any disclosure set forth in any risk factor section, any
disclosure in any section relating to forward looking statements or any other statements that are predictive or primarily cautionary in nature other than any historical facts included therein, the “Specified Parent SEC Disclosure”),
to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that the disclosure in the Specified Parent SEC Disclosure is responsive to the matters set forth in Article 5 of the Purchase Agreement, (vi) except as disclosed in the Specified Parent SEC
Disclosure filed after January 1, 2011 but before the date of the Purchase Agreement or (vii) contemplated by, or as disclosed pursuant to, the Purchase Agreement, there has not been a Buyer Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of
doubt, on the Closing Date, the representations and warranties contained in Article V or in any other Loan Documents shall be made only with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries as existing prior to the effectiveness of the Merger. 

4.2 Each Advance After the Closing Date. The Lenders shall not (except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.1.4 with respect
to Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying Swing Line Loans) be required to make any Advance after the Closing Date (for the sake of clarity, this Section 4.2 shall not apply to the initial Advances to be made on the Closing Date) unless on
the applicable Borrowing Date: 
 (a) There exists no Event of Default or Default. 

(b) The representations and warranties contained in Article V or in any other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects as of such Borrowing Date except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and
as of such earlier date (provided that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representation or warranty that already is qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof). 

(c) No Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the Closing Date or the date of any consolidated financial statements of the Parent
submitted subsequent to the Closing Date. 
 Each Borrowing Notice with respect to each such Advance (or, in the case of Swing
Line Borrowings made pursuant to an AutoBorrow Agreement, each borrowing pursuant to such AutoBorrow Agreement) shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Parent and Borrower that the conditions contained in Section 4.2 have been
satisfied.

liability company, and each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to

Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated (including any Advances made to the Borrower on the date this representation is made), nor compliance with the provisions
thereof will violate (a) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Parent, the Borrower, or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or (b) the Parent’s, the Borrower’s, or any

any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Advances under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Secured Obligations or the legality, validity, binding

 5.4 Financial Statements. 

(a) The audited December 31, 2010 and the unaudited September 30, 2011 consolidated financial statement of the Parent and its
consolidated Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the Lenders fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results operations of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for
such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the unaudited statements. 
 (b) The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2011 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Financial
Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect to (i) the consummation of the Merger, (ii) the Loans to be made and the Senior Notes to be issued on the Closing Date
and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Financial Statements (i) have been prepared in good faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare the pro
forma financial statements included in the confidential information memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Parent to be reasonable), (ii) are based on information available to the Parent after due inquiry, (iii) accurately
reflect all adjustments necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) present fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma financial position of the Parent and the Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011.

 5.5 Material Adverse Change. Since January 1, 2011 there has been no change in the business, Property, prospects,
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.6 Taxes. The Parent, the Borrower, and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all United States
federal tax returns or extensions relating thereto and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Parent, the Borrower, or any of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries, except (a) such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not

 - 54 -








 
Effect, none of the Parent, the Borrower or the Borrower’s Subsidiaries has any material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in
Section 5.4, except for Additional Contingent Consideration that may be payable in connection with an Acquisition. 
 5.8
Subsidiaries. The Borrower is the sole Subsidiary of the Parent, and the Parent owns all of the membership interest of the Borrower. Schedule 3 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Parent and the Borrower (as of the Closing
Date), setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. 

5.9 ERISA. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable
Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan. Neither the Parent nor the Borrower
is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of
Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. No Plan is in at
risk, endangered, or critical status (within the meaning of Sections 303 or 305 of ERISA) or insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA). Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to pay when due (after expiration of
any applicable grace period) any installment with respect to liability imposed in connection with a withdrawal under Section 4201 of ERISA. 
 5.10 Accuracy of Information. All written or formally presented information, other than the Projections and information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the
“Information”), that has been or will be made available to the Lenders by the Parent or the Borrower or any of their respective representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, does not or
will not, when furnished to us and taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances
under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto). The financial projections and other forward-looking information (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made available to the Lenders by the
Parent or the Borrower or any of their respective representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Parent and the Borrower to be reasonable at
the time furnished (it being recognized by the Lenders that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such
differences may be material and such Projections should not be regarded as a representation that the projected results will be achieved). 

  
 - 55 -








 5.11 Material Agreements. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Parent, the Borrower or the Borrower’s
Subsidiaries complies with the terms thereof. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in
(a) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Funded Indebtedness. 

5.12 Compliance With Laws. To the best of the knowledge of the officers of the Parent and the Borrower, the Parent, the Borrower
and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries have complied with all laws, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective
businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, including, without limitation, Regulation U, T and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and all Environmental Laws, except for any failure to comply with any of the
foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Parent, the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries
which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. 
 5.13 Ownership of Properties. On
the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, the Parent, the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries will have good title, free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the Parent’s
most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent as owned by the Parent, the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, excluding sales in the ordinary course since that date. 

5.14 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of the Borrower consider the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business of the Parent, the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this
consideration, the Parent and the Borrower have concluded that they are aware of no non-compliance with the Environmental Laws that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Subsidiaries has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating
whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.15 Investment Company Act. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

  
 - 56 -








 5.16 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Loan
Party have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Loan Party on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued
as a liability on the books of the relevant Loan Party. 
 5.17 Solvency. On the date hereof and immediately following the
making of each Loan, if any, made on the date hereof and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the sum of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Parent and its subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, does not exceed the fair value of the present assets of the Parent and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Parent and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis,
is greater than the total amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Parent and its subsidiaries as they become absolute and matured; (c) the capital of the Parent and its
subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business as contemplated on the date hereof; (d) the Parent and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or
believe that they will incur, debts or other liabilities, including current obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts or other liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise); and (e) the Parent and its subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis, are “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries,
to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries, will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary, and the timing of
the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Funded Indebtedness or the indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.

ARTICLE VIII 

ACCELERATION AND REMEDIES 
 8.1 Acceleration. If any Event of Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Parent or the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall
automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the
Administrative Agent with the 

  
 - 68 -








 
consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. 
 With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit
in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent
to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all reimbursement obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). 

If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans
hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Parent or the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have
been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 

8.2 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan
Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the
conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or
other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.12, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set
forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. 

ARTICLE IX

 - 69 -








 9.2 Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation. 
 9.3 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents. 

9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Parent, 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. 
 9.5 Several Obligations; Benefits of this
Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as an agent). The
failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the
parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.7 to
the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement. 

9.6 Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for any costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative
Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification,
and administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders for any costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the
collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees (each, an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto) which any of them may pay


  
 - 70 -








 
or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, 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 the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries or any of the Properties of the
Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries 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 except to the
extent that they are determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 9.7 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged hereunder, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term is defined below).
It is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate,
then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower. As used in this paragraph, the term
“Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the
extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow. 
 9.8 [Reserved]. 
 9.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in
any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the
operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 
 9.10 Acknowledgements. Each of the Parent and 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; (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Parent or 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 Lenders, on one hand, and the Parent 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 exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Parent, the Borrower and the Lenders.

confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential; provided that
nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any 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 any direct or indirect counterparty to any Rate Management Obligation, Specified Cash Management Obligation or other swap agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty),
(c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates who need to know such information, (d) upon the request or demand of any governmental authority or
quasi-governmental authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any requirement of law, (f) if requested or required to do
so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
(j) if agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that information
furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

 All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material
non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 9.12 Amendments and Waivers. None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 9.12. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the 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 the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the


  
 - 72 -








 
requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any 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 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 Commitment, 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 9.12 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of all Lenders; (iv) release all or any Substantial Portion of the Collateral or release any Domestic Subsidiary from its guaranty, in each case without the written consent of all
Lenders; provided, however, that without the consent of any Lender, the Administrative Agent may release any Collateral in order to give effect to, or otherwise in connection with, any asset sale, transfer or other disposition of such
Collateral permitted by this Agreement; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.11 or Section 11.2 without the written consent of all of the Lenders; (vi) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the
Administrative Agent; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.1.4 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; or (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.2 without the written consent
of the Issuing Lender. 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, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the
Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be
cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the 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 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 the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Term Loans (“Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement
term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal 

  
 - 73 -








 
amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be
higher than the Applicable Margin for such Replaced Term Loans and (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at the time
of such refinancing. 
 9.13 The PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Parent, Borrower and Subsidiaries that
pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Title III of P.L. No. 107-56) (known as “the PATRIOT Act”), each Lender is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Parent, Borrower and Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Parent, Borrower and Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
the Parent, Borrower and Subsidiaries in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. 
 ARTICLE X 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 10.1 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. 
 10.2
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. 

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, 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


  
 - 74 -








 
or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents 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, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents 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. 
 10.4 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 or email 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 the Parent or the Borrower), 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 the 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 the 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
the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 10.5 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, the Parent 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 the 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.


  
 - 75 -








 10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that none of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to
it and that no act by the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent or any Documentation 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, any Syndication Agent or any Documentation Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation 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, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation 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, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Syndication Agent and each Documentation Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates,
agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Parent or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Parent or 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, 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 such Agent Indemnitee 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 such Agent Indemnitee 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 such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 - 76 -








 10.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, each
Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or
Documentation Agent were not an agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent, each Syndication Agent and each Documentation 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 an Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent, each Syndication Agent and each Documentation Agent in its individual capacity. 
 10.9 Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 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 the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.2 or Section 7.6 with respect to the Borrower 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 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 the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and of Section 9.6
shall continue to inure to its benefit. 
 10.10 Arrangers, Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. None of the
Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacities as such. 
 10.11 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 9.12) 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 not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been
consented to in accordance with Section 9.12 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. 

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in
full, the Commitments have been 

  
 - 77 -








 
terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Documents and all obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Collateral Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

 ARTICLE XI 
 SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 
 11.1 Setoff. 

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or
to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to
Section 12.1), or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.6, 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 Benefitted 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 Benefitted 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line
Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application. 

  
 - 78 -








 11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment
made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by
the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives Collateral or other protection for its
Secured Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such Collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro
Rata Share, as applicable. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. 
 If an amount to be set off is to be applied to permitted Funded Indebtedness of the Borrower to a Lender other than Secured Obligations under this Agreement, such amount shall be applied ratably to such
other Funded Indebtedness and to the Secured Obligations. 
 ARTICLE XII 

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 12.1 Successors and Assigns. 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
(including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (a) 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 (b) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 

12.2 Permitted Assignments and Participations. 
 (a) [Reserved]. 
 (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, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 7.2 or 7.6 has occurred and is
continuing, any Person; 
 (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 all or any portion of a Loan to an existing Lender, an affiliate of an existing Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

  
 - 79 -








 (C) the Issuing Lender, in the case of any assignment of any Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. 
 (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 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 $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower
shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 

(B) (1) 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 (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; 

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire
in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities)
will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and 

(D) no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

 For the purposes of this Section 12.2, “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 of its business 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 

  
 - 80 -








 
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 9.6). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.2 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 (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(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. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, assignments may be
non-ratable among the Facilities. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the 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 Agent, the Issuing Lender 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


  
 - 81 -








 the second sentence of Section 8.2 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, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 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 Sections 11.1 and 11.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject
to Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 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. No Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.4 unless such Participant complies with Section 3.4(d) as if it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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.
