 EXECUTION VERSION 
 SECOND AMENDMENT 

SECOND AMENDMENT, dated as of December 20, 2010 (this “Second Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement, dated as of
April 20, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of May 16, 2007 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other parties party thereto. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to amend the Existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity of certain of the Term Loans and make certain
other changes set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below); 
 WHEREAS, each Lender holding Term
Loans who executes and delivers this Second Amendment has agreed to extend the maturity of all or a portion of such Lender’s Term Loans in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 

WHEREAS, each Lender who executes and delivers this Second Amendment has agreed to amend the Loan Documents to reflect the terms set
forth herein, subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined. 
 2. Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed by the Required Lenders to enter into
such Loan Documents and to take such other actions as may be required to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the effectiveness of such amendment and restatement, the terms “Agreement”, “this
Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import, as used in the Amended Credit Agreement, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Existing Credit
Agreement as amended and restated in the form of the Amended Credit Agreement, and the term “Credit Agreement”, as used in the other Loan Documents, shall mean the Amended Credit Agreement. The Required Lenders further consent to the entry
by the Administrative Agent into the amendment of any Security Document deemed necessary or advisable by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. 

3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment. This Second Amendment shall become effective on and as of the date (such date
the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions has been satisfied or waived as set forth in Section 10.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement: 

(a) The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from each Loan Party either (A) a counterpart to this Second
Amendment executed and delivered on behalf of such party or (B) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page of this Second Amendment) that such party has executed
and delivered a counterpart of this Second Amendment. 

  
 1 








 (b) The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received evidence of the execution
and delivery by the Required Lenders (including all Affiliate Lenders) of this Second Amendment. 
 (c) The Borrower shall have,
or shall have caused another Loan Party to, purchase from each Lender that has Term Loans that are being converted pursuant hereto into Extended Maturity Term Loans a portion of such Extended Maturity Term Loans equal to 20% thereof by payment,
without set-off or counterclaim, of an amount in immediately available funds equal to the principal amount of such portion and accrued interest thereon to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such amount to such Lender promptly upon receipt. The parties hereto agree that each such purchase by the Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, shall be consummated on the same terms as are set forth in the form of
Assignment and Assumption in Exhibit E to the Existing Credit Agreement (without the necessity of any execution and delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption), which terms (including the representations and warranties therein) are incorporated
herein by reference and are made applicable to such purchase and the parties thereto. The Administrative Agent shall make appropriate entries in the Register reflecting the same. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower a consent fee payable for the account of each Lender who executes and
delivers this Second Amendment at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 17, 2010 or such later date as the Borrower shall determine (the “Consent Deadline,” and each such Lender, a “Consenting
Lender”) equal to 0.15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans held by such Consenting Lender as of the Consent Deadline that are converted into Extended Maturity Term Loans and not purchased by the Borrower (or any other Loan
Party selected by the Borrower) pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Second Amendment. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall
have received a legal opinion of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and legal opinions of local counsel in Guernsey and the Cayman Islands, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of each Loan Party, dated the Second
Amendment Effective Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Existing Credit Agreement, with appropriate insertions and attachments. 
 4. Certain Consequences of Effectiveness. 
 (a) On and after the Second
Amendment Effective Date, the rights and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Loan Documents”) shall be governed by the
Amended Credit Agreement and each Existing Loan Document as amended hereby and contemplated hereby to be amended; provided that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents
with respect to the period prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall continue to be governed by the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and Existing Loan Documents prior to giving effect to this Second Amendment and the amendments
contemplated hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents, as specifically amended hereby and contemplated hereby to be amended, are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects. 

  
 2 








 (b) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Lender holding Term Loans that has executed
and delivered this Second Amendment and has designated an aggregate principal amount of its Term Loans to be treated as Extended Maturity Term Loans (such amount, the “Extended Maturity Term Loan Amount”) shall have such aggregate
principal amount automatically converted into an Extended Maturity Term Loan for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement in a principal amount equal to its Extended Maturity Term Loan Amount. 

(c) In the event that there are no Original Maturity Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than Original
Maturity Term Loans held by Lehman) then the parties hereto agree, and instruct the Administrative Agent, that, notwithstanding anything in either the Collateral Agreement or Cash Collateral Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any realization
or recovery upon the Collateral (including any Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account), such realization or recovery shall first be distributed to the Senior Creditors for ratable application to the Obligations held by them before any
distribution thereof shall be made to the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that there are any Original Maturity Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than Original Maturity Term Loans held by
Lehman), the terms of this Section 4(c) shall not apply at any time. 
 (d) Each Loan Party incorporated under the laws of
the Island of Guernsey hereby irrevocably waives and abandons any right which it has or may at any time have under the existing or future laws of the Island of Guernsey pursuant to the principle of droit de discussion or otherwise to require
that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any action is taken under any Loan Document against it and further irrevocably waives and abandons any right it has or may have at any time under the existing or future laws of the Island
of Guernsey pursuant to the principle of droit de division or otherwise to require that any person be made a party to any proceeding related to any Loan Document or that its liability under any Loan Document be divided or apportioned with any
person or reduced in any manner whatsoever. 
 5. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Representation and Warranties. Before and after giving effect to the amendments contained herein, on the Second Amendment
Effective Date, the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties hereby confirms that (i) this Second Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties, constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties enforceable against it in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, and will not violate the organizational documents of the Borrower and each of
the other Loan Parties, (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties in or pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Loan Documents” thereunder is true and correct in
all material respects as if made on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an
earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), (iii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Existing Credit Agreement and
no Default or Event of Default will occur as a result of this Second Amendment becoming effective, (iv) each Guarantor that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement is a party to this Second Amendment and each Person required to become a
Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Existing Credit Agreement has become a Guarantor, (v) the audited special purpose combined balance sheet of the Loan Parties and their consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2009 and the related audited special purpose combined statements of income and of cash flows for such year, reported on by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of the
Existing Credit Agreement, and the unaudited special purpose combined balance

sheet of the Loan Parties and their consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010 and the related unaudited special purpose combined statements of income and of
cash flows for such quarter and the portion of the fiscal year through the end of such quarter furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except

 (b)

 (d) Severability. Any provision of this Second Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

(e) Integration. This Second Amendment and the other amendments to the Loan Documents contemplated hereby represent the agreement
of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, 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.

2.8. 
 2.2. Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice

Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 

  
 23 









 2.9. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $20,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

 2.10. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 
 (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable
Margin. 
 (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 

(c)(i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a
portion of any interest payable on any Loan or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate
then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment) provided, that this
paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. 

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 2.11. Computation of Interest. 

(a) Interest payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with
respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall
become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such
change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a). 
 2.12. Inability to Determine
Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or


  
 24 









 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the
Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest
Period, 
 the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as
practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such
Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the
Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 
 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
 (a) The borrowing by the Borrower
of Term Loans from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages of the relevant Lenders. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.13(f), within each Class of Loans, each applicable Maturity Date payment by the Borrower on account of principal of the Loans and each payment by the Borrower on account of
interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the applicable Lenders. 
 (c) Subject to Sections 2.19(b) and 2.19(e) and to any subordination of all or a portion of any Class of Further Extended Maturity Term Loans, each offer to purchase Term Loans made by the Borrower (or
one or more Loan Parties selected by the Borrower) pursuant to Section 2.4(b), 2.4(c) or 2.4(d) shall be made pro rata, first, to Lenders that are Senior Creditors with respect to Term Loans that are Senior Obligations and each
purchase pursuant to such offers shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans that are Senior Obligations then held by the Lenders that agree to sell at the time of each such
purchase, and upon the purchase of all Term Loans that are Senior Obligations by the Borrower (or one or more Loan Parties selected by the Borrower), each offer to purchase Term Loans made by the Borrower (or one or more Loan Parties selected by the
Borrower) pursuant to Section 2.4(b), 2.4(c) or 2.4(d) shall be made pro rata to Subordinated Obligations Holders with respect to Term Loans that are Subordinated Obligations and each purchase pursuant to such offers shall be made
pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Lenders that agree to sell at the time of each such purchase; provided that, at any time Lehman shall not have converted all
of its Original Maturity Term Loans into Extended Maturity Term Loans, the Borrower (or one or more Loan Parties selected by the Borrower) may purchase any such outstanding Original Maturity Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(d) at a price no
higher than par plus accrued interest if (x) the Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available is not greater than the Sweep Leverage Ratio for the
then current fiscal year of the Borrower and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  
 25 









 (d) Subject to Section 2.19(b) and to any subordination of all or a portion of any
Class of Further Extended Maturity Term Loans, each prepayment by the Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6 shall be made pro rata, first, to the Term Loans that are Senior Obligations
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans that are Senior Obligations then held by the Lenders, and upon indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts in respect of,
all Term Loans that are Senior Obligations, each prepayment by the Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6 shall be made pro rata to the Term Loans that are Subordinated Obligations
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed; provided that at any time Lehman shall not have converted all of its
Original Maturity Term Loans into Extended Maturity Term Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such outstanding Original Maturity Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 if (x) the Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the most recently completed
fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available is not greater than the Sweep Leverage Ratio for the then current fiscal year of the Borrower and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If
any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

(f) In the event that there are no Original Maturity Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than Original
Maturity Term Loans held by Lehman) then the provisions of this Section 2.13(f) (these “Subordination Terms”) shall apply to any Subordinated Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that there are any Original
Maturity Term Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (other than Original Maturity Term Loans held by Lehman), these Subordination Terms shall not apply at any time. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the
Subordinated Obligations are subordinated and subject in right of payment to the Senior Obligations such that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the amounts constituting the Senior Obligations and, in that connection, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the date that is the earlier to occur of (x) such time as there are no Events of Default
continuing and (y) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts in respect of, all Senior Obligations: 

(1) subject to paragraphs (f)(ii) and (f)(iii) below, all payments on account of the principal of or interest on, or any
other amount in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations shall not be made to the Subordinated Obligations Holders and shall instead be held by the Administrative Agent in trust for the 

  
 26 









 
benefit of, the Senior Creditors, ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full in cash; and

 (2) no Subordinated Obligations Holders shall (A) ask, demand, sue for, accelerate or take or receive
from any Loan Party, by set-off or in any other manner, any payment on account of Subordinated Obligations or (B) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against any Loan Party for breach of such Loan Party’s obligations
thereunder. 
 (ii) In the event of any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or
reorganization of any Loan Party (other than any such transaction not then constituting a continuing Default), whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, then upon any payment or distribution of
assets (including, without limitation, debt or equity interests issued by such Loan Party or any successor thereto) of such Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to any of its creditors (including any
Subordinated Obligations Holder) of any amounts (including interest, indemnities and fees) due or to become due, all Senior Obligations shall first be paid in full in cash before any Subordinated Obligations Holder shall be entitled to retain any
assets so paid or distributed in respect of the Subordinated Obligations (for principal, premium, interest or otherwise) and, to that end, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities that would, but for these Subordination Terms, be paid or delivered to a Subordinated Obligations Holder. If a Subordinated Obligations Holder shall have failed to file
claims or proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Obligations at least 30 days prior to the deadline for any such filing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Creditors, is hereby irrevocably authorized to vote to accept or
reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension and file proofs of claim and otherwise to act with respect to the Subordinated Obligations as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate
using its reasonable discretion under the circumstances. Each Subordinated Obligations Holder shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Creditors, all information and documents necessary to present claims or seek enforcement
as aforesaid and will duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may request to collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Senior Creditors and to file appropriate claims or proofs of
claim with respect thereto. No Subordinated Obligations Holder shall take any action or vote in any way so as to contest (A) the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (B) the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent
and the Senior Creditors established in any of the Loan Documents or (C) the validity or enforceability of the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 2.13(f). 

(iii) If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations shall be received by a Subordinated Obligations Holder in contravention of these Subordination Terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full in cash. 

(iv) So long as any Senior Obligation is outstanding, no Subordinated Obligations Holder shall commence in its capacity as
a creditor, or join with any creditor (other than any Senior Creditor) in commencing, or directly or indirectly cause any Loan Party to commence, or assist any Loan Party in commencing, any proceeding referred to clause (ii) above. 

  
 27 









 (v) The provisions of these Subordination Terms constitute a continuing
agreement and shall (A) remain in full force and effect until all Senior Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (B) be binding upon each Subordinated
Obligations Holder and the Loan Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assignees, and (C) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Senior Creditors. 

(vi) These Subordination Terms shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by
or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Senior Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

 (vii) Each of the Subordinated Obligations Holders hereby waives any and all rights to be subrogated to the
rights of any Senior Creditor under or with respect to the Senior Obligations. 
 (viii) No right of the Senior
Creditors to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Loan Parties or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by the Senior Creditors, or
by any noncompliance by the Loan Parties with the terms of the Senior Obligations or the Subordinated Obligations, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such Senior Creditor may have or be otherwise charged with. The Senior Creditors may
extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Obligations or any security thereof and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with the Loan Parties, all without affecting the rights of the Senior Creditors
hereunder. 
 (ix) All rights and interests hereunder or under the other Loan Documents of the Senior Creditors,
and all agreements and obligations of any Subordinated Obligations Holder hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or of any provision of any thereof, or (B) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Loan Parties in respect of, any of the Obligations. 

The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 2.13(f) set forth a contractual agreement of the type contemplated by
Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”. The provisions of this Section 2.13(f) are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Creditors on the one hand, and the
Subordinated Obligations Holders on the other hand, and nothing in this Section 2.13(f) shall impair, as between the Loan Parties and the Subordinated Obligations Holders, the obligation of the Loan Parties to pay to the Subordinated
Obligations Holders the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, nor shall anything in this Section 2.13(f) prevent the
Subordinated Obligations Holders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law in respect hereof, subject to the rights under this Section 2.13(f) of the Senior Creditors. The provisions of this Section 2.13(f) and the
definitions of “Senior Creditors”, “Senior Obligations”, “Subordinated Obligations Holders” and “Subordinated Obligations” shall not be waived, amended, supplemented or modified without the written consent of
all Senior Creditors. 

  
 28 









 2.14. Requirements of Law. 

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any
Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date: 

(i) shall, with respect to this Agreement, impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included
in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or 
 (ii) shall, with respect to this Agreement, impose on such
Lender any other condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender
deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 
 (b) 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 six 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 six-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. 
 2.15.
Taxes. 
 (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”)
or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or
(e) of this Section or (ii) that are taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of
assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 

  
 29 









 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing
payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes it is required to pay hereunder after notification, when due, to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts
or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender solely as a result of
any such failure. 
 (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased)
two copies of such documentation or certificates as are required or permitted to reduce or eliminate amounts required to be withheld by the Borrower or payments hereunder. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date
it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower
(or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S.
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of
such Lender. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (or a
tax credit as a result of the payment of such taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund (or the
taxes saved as result of such tax credit) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the 

  
 30 









 
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless
from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the
same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable
Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in
the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.17. Change of Lending Office. Each
Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14 or 2.15(a) or (e) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such
Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(a) or (e). 
 2.18. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted
to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (c) 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 has been obtained)
with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to
any such replacement pursuant to clause (a), such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.17 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, (iv) the replacement financial
institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.16 if any Eurodollar Loan owing
to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the 

  
 31 









 
Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated
to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) or as the Administrative Agent shall otherwise reasonably
determine, and if the replaced Lender fails to fulfill its obligations, the replacement shall occur anyway without any action being required on behalf of such replaced Lender, (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the
Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
 2.19. Further Term Loan Maturity Extensions. 

(a) Pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions (each, an
“Extension”) with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the Maturity Date of such Lender’s Term Loans or portions thereof, and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Term Loans or such portions thereof
(including increases to the Applicable Margin or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans). 
 (b) To
participate in any such Pro Rata Extension Offer, any Lender wishing to extend the Maturity Date of all or a portion of its Term Loans on the terms of such Pro Rata Extension Offer shall return a countersigned copy of the Term Loan Extension
Notification pursuant to which such Pro Rata Extension Offer is made to the Administrative Agent no less than five Business Days before the “Effective Date” set forth in such Term Loan Extension Notification or such later date as agreed by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each Term Loan Extension Notification shall specify the terms of the applicable Further Extended Maturity Term Loans; provided that, except as to scheduled amortization, prepayment, purchase,
Applicable Margin, fees and final Maturity Date (each of which shall, subject to the second proviso of this paragraph, be determined by the Borrower), the applicable Further Extended Maturity Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as the
Extended Maturity Term Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that (i) the final Maturity Date of any Further Extended Maturity Term Loans shall be no
earlier than the latest Maturity Date for any Class of Term Loans then outstanding, (ii) the Applicable Margin applicable to any Further Extended Maturity Term Loans at any time may be higher than the Applicable Margin applicable to the
Extended Maturity Term Loans at such time based on the Applicable Pricing Grid, but by no more than 0.50% per annum (unless the Applicable Margin applicable to the Extended Maturity Term Loans is increased to be no more than 0.50% per
annum below the Applicable Margin applicable to such Further Extended Maturity Term Loans), (iii) the Borrower (or any other Loan Party selected by the Borrower) may offer to prepay or purchase up to 20% of the aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans (other than Term Loans held by Affiliate Lenders) being extended pursuant to each such Extension, (iv) the Borrower may pay fees to such Lenders of up to 0.15% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans being extended pursuant
to each such Extension (and not being prepaid or purchased pursuant to clause (iii) of this proviso) and (v) any Class of Further Extended Maturity Term Loans may participate in any scheduled amortization or mandatory or optional
prepayment or purchase that applies to any other Class of Term Loans so long as (x) such participation is on a pro rata basis with or subordinated to any scheduled amortization or mandatory or optional prepayment or purchase of

 SECTION 8 GUARANTY 
 8.1. Guaranty of Payment. Subject to Section 8.7, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably and jointly and severally guarantees to the Beneficiaries the prompt payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise). Any payment hereunder shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is
payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 
 8.2. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that this guaranty may be enforced by the Beneficiaries without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and
without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the
Beneficiaries to proceed against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Beneficiaries to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall
not exercise any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor (or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations) for amounts paid under this guaranty until such time as the
Beneficiaries have been paid in full. Each Guarantor further agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Beneficiaries from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise
of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall
be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither a Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired,
modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever (i) by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, (ii) by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Borrower or such other Guarantor or (iii) by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by the Beneficiaries upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand,
likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty. 
 8.3.
Modifications. Each Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that (a) all or any part of any security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or
surrendered from time to time; (b) the Beneficiaries shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties
subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in 

  
 51 









 
whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Borrower and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be
granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences
or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after
the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal,
acceleration, modification, indulgence or release. 
 8.4. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Beneficiaries and of all Term Loans made to the Borrower by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the
Beneficiaries obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Beneficiaries’ subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if
any; (e) all other notices to which the Borrower might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty. 

8.5. Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent
that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Beneficiaries on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the
Beneficiaries in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 8.6. Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7 (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other
Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor. 
 8.7. Limitation of Guaranty. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Federal Bankruptcy
Code (as now or hereinafter in effect)). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document, the partners of the Loan Parties shall not be personally liable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 SECTION 9 THE AGENT 
 9.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities
shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 9.2.
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 

9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any Lender 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 (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the
Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 
 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, electronic message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent 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 Term Loans. 

  
 53 









 9.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Loan Party 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. 

9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Term Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by a Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Loan 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 Term Loan Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Term Loan
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 Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Term Loan Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by
or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment
of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 54 









 9.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent
and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though it were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any
letter of credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. 
 9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign
as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then 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(a), 7(c)(A) or 7(f) 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 Term 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 Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 SECTION 10 MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 10.1, Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.13(f). Subject to Section 10.6(f), 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 requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement
or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Term Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or
fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) without the consent of each Lender directly and
adversely affected thereby (it being understood that an amendment to financial definitions shall not constitute a reduction in interest rates for purposes of 

  
 55 









 
this clause (i)); (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified
in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release any of the Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account or
release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement if such Guarantor is material (determined by reference to the combined financial condition of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries) or release all or substantially all of the other
Collateral (other than as permitted under the Loan Documents), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. 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 Term 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 Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 10.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided

 56 









 10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 10.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Term Loans

reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all their reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable, documented fees
and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to
be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers for all its or their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel (excluding the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the

with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling Persons (each, an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Term Loans and the reasonable, documented fees and
expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Barry J. Giarraputo (Telephone No. (212) 515-3251) (Telecopy No. (212) 515-3478), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as
may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers. The agreements in this 

  
 57 









 
Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers waives, to the
maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 

10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 

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

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than an
entity designated by the Borrower as a “disqualified lender” on or prior to the Closing Date (or after the Closing Date, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) (each such “disqualified
lender”, a “Disqualified Lender”) or a natural person), (each such assignee, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan
Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 
 (A) the Borrower
(not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that the Borrower shall have absolute discretion to withhold its consent for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund (as defined below) if after giving effect to
such assignment such Lender and its affiliates and related Approved Funds would hold directly, as a Lender or, indirectly as a Participant, greater than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans; provided, further, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such prior written consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7(a), 7(c)(A) or 7(f) has occurred and is continuing; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that (unless the assigning Lender is an Affiliate Lender, in which case the
consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

(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 Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loan Commitments or Term 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 such amounts shall be aggregated in
respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 

  
 58 









 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire
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 Loan Parties and their 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 law. 

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender or (b) an affiliate of a Lender. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Loan Party 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. 

  
 59 









 (c) (i) Any Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld)
but without the consent of the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7(a), 7(c)(A) or 7(f) has occurred and is
continuing. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant; provided, further, however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, each Lender shall
have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or any other Obligations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of
participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15 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 (if required pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) above). Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless such Participant
complies with Section 2.15(d), (e) and (f). 
 (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. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, with respect to (i) any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any consent or request by any Lenders as contemplated at the end of Section 7 or any directions
by any Lenders as contemplated by Section 9.5 or (iii) any instruction or authorization given to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, to the extent that such Subordinated Obligations
Holder, or the Subordinated Obligations Holders as a group, are (subject to Section 2.13(f)) treated therein in the same, or a better, manner than the other Lenders), any 

  
 60 









 
Subordinated Obligations Holders shall be deemed to agree, consent, approve or join such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification, such consent, request or directions or such instruction or
authorization if it has otherwise been agreed or consented to, or joined in, by the Required Lenders, calculated for this purpose on a basis that disregards (for certainty of clarity, in both the numerator and the denominator) the Term Loans held by
any Subordinated Obligations Holders from time to time and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, each Subordinated Obligations Holder shall take such actions at its sole cost and expense as are reasonable in the circumstances to confirm,
evidence or implement its agreements in this clause. 
 (g) The Lenders (other than Affiliate Lenders) may hold discussions,
which may include the Administrative Agent and advisers to the foregoing, with respect to matters of concern to them relating to the Borrower or any of its affiliates or this Agreement or any other Loan Document without inviting or permitting
participation therein by Affiliate Lenders or sharing with Affiliate Lenders any notice or report thereof or any materials prepared to facilitate or further such discussions or otherwise requested in connection therewith. 

(h) No Affiliate Lender shall have any right to make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of
its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or any of their respective affiliates with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or
obligations of the Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such other Lender or affiliate thereof under the Loan Documents. 

(i) Any agreement, consent or waiver of any Subordinated Obligations Holder deemed received pursuant to Section 10.6(f) shall be
deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent simultaneously with its receipt of the agreement, consent or waiver of the Required Lenders (in each case as calculated as provided in Section 10.6(f)), for purposes of determining the

of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, 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(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such 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.
