ARTICLE II 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND
CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 2.01.     Revolving Credit Commitments. 

(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders severally agree to make revolving credit loans
(“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time after the Closing Date and during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period; provided that after giving effect thereto (i) the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Credit Loans at any one time outstanding for each Lender, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the sum of (x) the L/C Obligations then outstanding and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing
Line Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Line Cap. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period the Borrowers
may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar
Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05; provided that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the day
that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (b)     The Borrowers shall repay all outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans on the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (c)     The Inventory Reserves and
Availability Reserves as of the Closing Date are set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(g). 

The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date in its reasonable discretion to
establish, modify or eliminate Reserves. 
 2.02.     Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.

 (a)     The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving
Credit Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. fifteen Business Days prior to the date
of termination or five Business Days prior to the date of reduction, as the case may be, (ii) any such notice shall be irrevocable (except in 












 
the case of a termination, such notice shall be irrevocable only beginning three days prior to the date of the proposed termination), (iii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $5,000,000 and (iv) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving
Extensions of Credit would exceed the Line Cap. Each such reduction or termination shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender. 

(b)     If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the L/C Commitment or the Swing Line
Commitment exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 

(c)     Upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders shall be terminated in
full, and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans then owing by them to the Lenders. 
 The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the L/C Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment under this Section 2.02. All fees accrued until the effective date
of any such termination or reduction shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 
 2.03.
    [Reserved]. 
 2.04.     [Reserved]. 

2.05.     Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a)     Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice or Conversion/Contiuation Notice, as the case may be; provided that any
telephone notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation, as applicable. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the
requested date of the Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. The Borrowing of or
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that the Swing Line Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrowers, borrowings of Base Rate Loans under the
Revolving Credit Commitments in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.07. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the
principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, (iii) the Type of Loans to be borrowed, and (iv) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) whether the
Borrowers are requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a
Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice of a conversion or continuation in a Conversion/Continuation Notice, then the Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic













 
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrowers request a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice or a conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in a Conversion/Continuation Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, they will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month. 
 (b)     Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Credit Loan, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation in a Conversion/Continuation Notice is provided by the Parent Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.05(a). Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
IV, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Administrative Agent
with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower. 

(c)     Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of
an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 

(d)     The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to
any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. 
 (e)     After giving effect
to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than (i) 15 Interest Periods or (ii) more than two Interest Periods of less than one month, in each
case, in effect with respect of all Loans. 
 (f)     The Administrative Agent, without the request of any Borrower, may
advance any interest, fee, service charge, Secured Party Expenses, or other payment to which any Secured Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to the Register notwithstanding that
an Overadvance may result thereby; provided that, prior to advancing any amounts for payment of Secured Party Expenses, the Administrative Agent shall furnish the Borrowers with five (5) Business Days advance notice thereof;
provided further that in no event shall the Administrative Agent make an advance hereunder, if after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall
deliver to the Borrowers a statement of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof (or in the case of Secured Party Expenses, at the time that the five (5) Business Days’ notice is furnished) in reasonable detail
sufficient to allow the Borrowers to verify such interest, fee, service charge, Secured Party Expenses or other payment. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and
the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.09(b). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Register as provided in this Section 2.05(f) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter
applicable to Base Rate Loans. 












 (g)     The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and
the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Lenders, the
Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvance may constitute a Swing Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Loan and an Obligation.
Any Permitted Overadvance shall be subject to such required repayments and other terms as the Administrative Agent may determine. The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the
provisions of Section 2.19 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letters of Credit or of Section 2.07 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with
respect to Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability for, and no Loan Party or Secured Party shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Administrative Agent with respect to
“inadvertent Overadvances” (i.e. where an Overadvance results from changed circumstances beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (such as a reduction in the collateral value)) regardless of the amount of any such Overadvance(s).

 2.06.     Swing Line Commitment. 

(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees that, after the Closing Date and during
the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, it will make available to the Borrowers, in the sole reasonable discretion of the Swing Line Lender, in the form of swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) a portion of the credit otherwise
available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Commitments, which portion is a part of and not in addition to the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at
any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed
the Swing Line Commitment then in effect or such Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrowers shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving
effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Line Cap. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only. 
 (b)     The
Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 2.07.
    Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line Loans. 
 (a)     The
Borrowers may borrow under the Swing Line Commitment on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period; provided that the Borrowers shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing
(which telephonic notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swing
Line Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 4:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date specified in the borrowing notice in respect of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender
shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office an amount in immediately available funds 












 
equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers on such Borrowing Date in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b)     The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 noon, request each Lender to
make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall initially be a Base Rate Loan), in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the
“Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 a.m., one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing
Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. 
 (c)     If
prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.07(b), one of the events described in Section 8.01(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower, or if
for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.07(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been
made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.07(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an
amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been
repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (d)     Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from
any Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata
portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to
be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 

(e)     Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.07(b) and to purchase
participating interests pursuant to Section 2.07(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender or the Borrowers may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions
specified in Article IV; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or
(v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 













	 	2.08.	 Incremental Credit Extensions. 



(a)     The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice from the Parent Borrower to
the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase”); provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below (i) all representations and warranties in Article V shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier
date and except to the extent that a particular representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would
result therefrom and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall not exceed $50,000,000. 

(b)     Each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is a whole multiple of
$500,000 which is not less than $10,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in Section 2.08(a)(iii) above). 

(c)     The Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases (a) shall be made under
and documented in this Agreement or pursuant to an amendment hereto and shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and (b) shall be treated substantially the same as or less favorably than
the Revolving Credit Loans (including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments and voting rights). 
 (d)    
Each notice from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitment Increases. Revolving Credit Commitment Increases may be provided by any
existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution selected by the Borrowers (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall
have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 11.06 for an assignment of
Commitments to such Lender or Additional Lender. Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall become Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by
an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Credit Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other
Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.08.
The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and such other
conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Credit Commitment
Increases, unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08, each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to
each 












 
Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving
effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Lender
(including each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (b) if, on the date of
such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Lenders (including the Additional Lenders) shall make such payments as directed by the Administrative Agent in order that the Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Lenders
(including Additional Lenders) ratably in accordance with the increased Revolving Credit Commitments (and interest and other payments shall be adjusted accordingly). 

(e)     The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata
payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.08. 

(f)     This Section 2.08 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 11.01
to the contrary. 
  

	 	2.09.	 Prepayments. 



(a)     Optional. The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof;
and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of
each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein; provided that if such prepayment is being made in connection with the closing of another transaction it may be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of any Loans shall be paid to the Lenders thereof in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 (b)     Mandatory. (i) If for any
reason the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit at any time exceed the Line Cap as then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Letter of Credit borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations (other than Letter of Credit borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.09(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans and the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Line Cap as then in effect. 












 (ii)     The Borrowers shall also prepay the Loans and Cash
Collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.17. 
  

	 	2.10.	 Interest. 



(a)     Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b)     (i) If any Obligation is not paid when due (in each case, without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then the Administrative Agent upon the request of the Required Lenders shall notify the Borrowers that such amount shall, until such time as such Event of Default has ceased to exist, bear interest
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii)
If any other Event of Default exists, then the Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall notify the Borrowers that the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations (including, without limitation, all Letter of Credit
Fees) shall, until such time as such Event of Default has ceased to exist, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that such
request and notice shall not be required with respect to any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) and, upon such an Event of Default such amounts shall bear interest at the Default Rate automatically. 

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c)     Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at
such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

 

	 	2.11.	 Fees. 



(a) The Borrowers shall pay an upfront fee to each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment a fee on the Closing Date equal to 0.375% of the
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender on the Closing Date. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(b)     The Borrowers shall pay the fees relating to the Revolving Credit Facility to the Persons in the amounts and at
the times specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 

(c)     The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting
Lender) a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the 












 
Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 

2.12.     Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid;
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.14(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 2.13.     Evidence of Debt. The Credit
Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s)
and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
such Lender’s Note(s) and upon cancellation of such Note(s), the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or Notes in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor. 

 

	 	2.14.	 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 



(a)     General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b)     Funding by Lenders; Presumption
by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any 












 
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.05) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a
Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing
to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii)     Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by
Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers
have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing
under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c)     Failure to Satisfy
Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (d)     Obligations of Lenders Several.
The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, participate in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund
any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c). 












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

(f)     Insufficient Funds. Subject to Section 8.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by
and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 2.15.     Sharing of Payments by Lenders. (i) If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at
such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such
Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due
and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be; provided that: 

(ii)     if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(iii)     the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by
the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant if
made in accordance with Section 11.06. 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 













	 	2.16.	 Letters of Credit Commitment. 



(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender agrees, in each case, in reliance on the agreements
of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.19(a), to issue Standby Letters of Credit or Commercial Letters of Credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers (which the Borrowers may request be issued
with respect to obligations of any Subsidiary of a Borrower) on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be
obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Line Cap. Each Letter of Credit
shall be denominated in Dollars. 
 (b)     No Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder
if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Law. The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 

(i)     subject to Section 2.16(d), the expiry date of such requested Standby Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 

(ii)     subject to Section 2.16(d), the expiry date of such requested Commercial Letter of Credit would occur
more than 120 days after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 

(iii)     the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date,
unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender at the time of issuance. 

(c)     No Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree
of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the
Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it. 

(d)     Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued
(i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of
issuance shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lenders shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and the Issuing Lenders’ rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired
by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Lenders required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where
the Issuing Lenders or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in clause (i) or (ii) of the previous sentence, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice 












 
statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute
of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 

2.17.     Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrowers may from time to time request that an Issuing
Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender and such other certificates, documents and other
papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Such Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Issuing Lender, by personal
delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to the Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, the
Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with their respective customary procedures and the Issuing Lender will issue the
Letter of Credit requested thereby by causing or issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to be issued to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrowers (but in no event shall any Issuing
Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after the Issuing Lender’s receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto).
Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrowers. The Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance. 

 

	 	2.18.	 L/C Fees and Other Charges. 



(a)     The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) with respect to each Commercial Letter of Credit, equal to 50% of the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans, times the daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit), and (ii) with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate
Loans, times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). 

(b)     The Borrowers shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to
each Commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a Commercial
Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the Borrowers and the Issuing Lender, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and
(iii) with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears. 

(c)     In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall (i) pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender other than
the initial Issuing Lender, without duplication, for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit and (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by the initial Issuing Lender, pay the Work Fee applicable thereto. 













	 	2.19.	 L/C Participations. 



(a)     Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the
Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder
and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand of the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s address for notices (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is
not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such
L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions
specified in Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C
Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

(b)     If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing
Lender pursuant to
 Section 2.19(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender in connection with any Letter of Credit is not paid to an Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on demand (and thereafter the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is
360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.19(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three
Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due
date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of such Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.19 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c)     Whenever, at any time after an
Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.19(a) and the Administrative Agent receives
any payment 












 
related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account
thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned
by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender), the portion thereof previously
distributed by such Issuing Lender. 
 2.20.     Letters of Credit Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The
Borrowers agree to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such
draft so paid and (b) any Taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender (without duplication) in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and
(b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made through the Administrative Agent in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.
Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing,
Section 2.10(a)(ii) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.10(b). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in Section 8.01(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the Borrowers, in which case the procedures specified in Section 2.19 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrowers (provided that the Borrowers shall not be deemed to have made any
representations or warranties in connection with such request) to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.05 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole
discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.07 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if
applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.05 (or, if applicable, Section 2.07), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice
from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. If Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) are otherwise unavailable to the Borrowers, the Payment Amount shall be paid to the Issuing Lender, on (x) the
same Business Day that the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender, if such notice is provided prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) or
(y) the following Business Day, in all other cases. 
 2.21.     Letters of Credit Obligations Absolute. The
Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.20 in respect of the Letters of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower
may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrowers also agree with each Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’
reimbursement obligations under Section 2.20 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent
or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except
that the Issuing Lender shall be liable to the extent provided by law for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Issuing Lender. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of 












 
Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on each Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to any Borrower. The initial Issuing Lender shall not have any liability to any Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by it or any Letters of Credit requested to be issued by it, nor shall the initial Issuing Lender owe any duty to any Person, or be deemed to have agreed, to issue any Letters of
Credit. The Issuing Lenders may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially
reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. 
 2.22.     Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall
be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any
draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft)
delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in the case of any Issuing Lender, making any payment to the applicable beneficiary in accordance with
the applicable Letter of Credit. 
 2.23.     Letter of Credit Applications. To the extent that any provision of
any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply. 

2.24.     Defaulting Lender Adjustments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(i)     Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01. 

(ii)     Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account (which amount shall not bear interest under this Agreement) and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender
to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender as a result of any 












 
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers
against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided
that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Obligations were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii)     Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any
commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that
Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees. 
 (iv)    
Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.07 and 2.19, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that
Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the
Revolving Extensions of Credit of that Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Revolving Extension of Credit of any Lender be in excess of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. 

(v)     Reallocation of Revolving Credit Percentages. During any period in which there is a
Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, the “Revolving Credit Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be
computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the
aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding
amount of the Revolving Extensions of Credit of that Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Revolving Extension of Credit of any Lender be in excess of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. 












 (b)     Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be
held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD
PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  

	 	3.01.	 Taxes. 



(a)     Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes unless required by applicable Laws; provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Laws to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) have been made, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. 
 (b)     Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting or duplicating the
provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c)     Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan
Document or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 












 (d)     Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the applicable Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e)     Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an
exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete,
expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Unless the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under
any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall withhold amounts required to be
withheld by applicable Laws from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Without limiting the foregoing: 

(1)     Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code)
shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender
is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 
 (2)     Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is
applicable: 
 (A)     two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code, 

(B)     two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or
any successor forms), 
 (C)     in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit O (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms), 

(D)     to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender
is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by 












 
a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required
under this Section 3.01(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be
provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or 
 (E)     two properly completed
and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax
on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents. 
 Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two
further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to
deliver. 
 (f)     Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Borrowers reasonably believe that the Administrative
Agent or a Lender is entitled to a refund (whether received in cash or as an offset against other cash tax obligations) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an applicable Loan Party or with respect to which
an applicable Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Parent Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent or relevant Lender pursue such refund with the relevant Governmental Authority at the
Borrowers’ expense (so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or the Lender, result in any unreimbursed costs or expenses or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to it). If the Administrative
Agent or the applicable Lender receives such refund, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any
other Person. 
 (g)     Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this
Section 3.01, include an Issuing Lender and a Swing Line Lender. 












 3.02.     Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

3.03.     Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar
Rate Loan (any such Loans, “Impacted Loans”), (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers
and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause
(a) above, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the
Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or
that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower written notice
thereof. 
 3.04.   Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(a)      Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 












 (ii)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by
Section 3.04(e)) or any Issuing Lender; 
 (iii)     subject any Lender to any Tax of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 or any Excluded
Tax); or 
 (iv)     impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any
of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)     Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending
Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c)     Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04, in reasonable detail sufficient to allow the Borrowers to verify such calculation, and
delivered to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d)     Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 (e)     Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to
each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets 












 
consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar
Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Loan; provided that the Borrowers shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior
to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 

(f)     Increased Amounts. No Lender shall demand any payment referred to herein if it shall not at the time be the
general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in substantially similar circumstances under substantially comparable provisions of other credit agreements. 

3.05.     Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to
time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of: 

(a)     any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a
day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b)     any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to
prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or 

(c)     any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; 
 including any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding loss of anticipated profits. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers
to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
  

	 	3.06.	 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 



(a)     Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or the Borrowers is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for
the notice pursuant to 












 
Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b)     Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the
Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, or if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Parent Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13; provided, that prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 3.06(a) so
as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01, and until such time as such replacement is consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01. 

3.07.     Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination
of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV 

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

6.04.     Payment of Obligations. Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable (a) all material
Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are
being maintained by Holdings or such Subsidiary and such contest effectively suspends the collection of the contested obligation and the enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation; and (b) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law
become a Lien upon its property (except as set forth in clause (a) above).

Adverse Effect.

6.07.     Maintenance of Insurance. 

(a)    Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrowers insurance with
respect to its properties and business against loss or damage (i) of the kinds or customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar
circumstances by such other Persons or (ii) substantially similar to insurance maintained by the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in each case, subject to such changes as the Borrowers may reasonably deem appropriate in their business judgment

(b)    [Reserved]; 

(c)    Maintain fire and extended coverage policies with respect to any Collateral that are endorsed or otherwise amended

Section 6.07 shall also provide that it shall not be canceled or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative
Agent (giving the Administrative Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative
Agent. The Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to the cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence of
renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, including an insurance binder) together with evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment of the premium therefor; 

(d)    None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, or their agents or employees shall be liable
for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 6.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and their Affiliates for the recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates or its agents or employees. If, however,
the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates under this Section 6.07 shall
in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Administrative Agent, Lender or Affiliate that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties; and 












 (e)    The Borrowers will, upon reasonable advance notice and during
normal business hours, permit any representatives that are designated by the Administrative Agent to inspect the insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and to inspect books and records related thereto and any properties
covered thereby. The Loan Parties shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such inspection; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred

(a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties
in accordance with GAAP; or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.09.     Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries in conformity with GAAP
consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of Holdings or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 

6.10.     Inspection Rights.

reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default exists only one such visit in any calendar year
shall be at the Borrower’s expense. 
 (b)    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, after reasonable prior
notice, permit the Administrative Agent or professionals (including investment bankers, consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers) retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct appraisals, commercial finance examinations and other

sales, gross margins, payables, accruals and reserves. The Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Administrative Agent in establishing the earliest reasonable date for the conduct of such examinations and evaluations, it being understood
that, in establishing such date, the Administrative Agent will give due consideration to availability of the Loan Parties’ personnel whose participation in the examinations and evaluations may be required (including, among other things, their
lack of availability due to time deadlines for completion of certain specified tasks then required for the orderly operation of the Loan Parties’ business, such as year-end audits). Subject to the
following sentences, the Loan Parties shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent or such professionals with respect to such evaluations and appraisals. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall
undertake up to one (1) inventory appraisal and one (1) commercial finance examination each Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year ended September 28, 2013 at the Loan Parties’ expense; provided that if Excess
Availability is at any time less than the greater of (X) 25% of the Line Cap and 












 
(Y) $17,500,000, the Administrative Agent shall conduct up to two (2) commercial finance examinations and two (2) inventory appraisals in such Fiscal Year at the Loan Parties’

reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, guaranteeing the other Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents and covering the personal property of such Subsidiaries as specified by and in form and substance reasonably

such Subsidiary and the direct parent of such Subsidiary (if it has not already done so) to take whatever action (including the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, the giving of notices and the endorsement of notices on title
documents) may be necessary or advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative Agent (or in any representative of the Administrative Agent designated by it) valid and subsisting Liens on the personal
properties purported to be subject to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and supplements thereto delivered pursuant to this Section 6.12, enforceable against all third parties in accordance with their terms, and 

(iii)    within 20 Business Days after such formation, acquisition or addition, deliver to the
Administrative Agent, upon the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, a signed copy of a favorable opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Loan Parties reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the matters contained in clause (i) above, and as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 

(b)    [Reserved]. 












 (c)     At any time upon request of the Administrative Agent, promptly
execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take all such other action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable in obtaining the full benefits of, or (as applicable) in perfecting and preserving the Liens
of, such guaranties and supplements to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any supplements thereto. 
 6.13.    
Compliance with Environmental Laws. 
 (a)     Except as would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a
Material Adverse Effect, comply (including through the reasonable enforcement of applicable lease provisions and any other reasonable efforts to ensure compliance by all tenants, subtenants, contractors, subcontractors and invitees) with all
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; and obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties. 

(b)     Conduct all material investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and undertake all material cleanup, removal,
remedial or other actions required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Law or any other Law to remove and clean up all Hazardous Materials from any of its properties; provided, however, that neither Holdings nor any
of its Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any such investigation, study, sampling, testing, cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by timely and proper
proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP; and provided, further, that the pendency of any and all such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to give
rise to a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.14.     Preparation of Environmental Reports. At any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default, provide to the Lenders within 60 days after reasonable request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, at the expense of the Borrowers, an environmental site assessment report for any of its Real
Properties described in such request, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials at such property and the estimated cost of any
compliance, including, if applicable, the estimated costs of legally required removal or remedial actions in connection with any such Hazardous Materials on such Real Property; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative
Agent reasonably determines at any time following 30 days after its initial request that a material risk exists that any such report will not be provided within the time referred to above, the Administrative Agent may retain an environmental
consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Borrowers, and Holdings hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary that maintains an interest in any Real Property described in such request to grant at the time of such request to
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, after reasonable advance notice subject to the reasonable rights of tenants or
any limitation contained in applicable leases, to enter onto their respective properties to undertake such an assessment. Any such assessment shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner reasonably designed to mitigate any
material interference with the ongoing operations of the Loan Party’s business. The Loan Parties may require that, prior to entry onto the Real Property, any such engineer or consultant shall present evidence of reasonable and customary
insurance coverage, including general liability and professional liability policies. Unless there exists a reasonable belief that there has been a material Release of Hazardous Materials at the Real Property any such assessment shall be limited to a
visual inspection of the property and shall not include the taking of any samples of soil, groundwater, surface water, building materials or other environmental media. 

6.15.     Further Assurances. Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the

Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties, assets, rights or interests to the Liens now or hereafter intended to be covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority

hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document or under any other instrument executed in connection with any Loan Document to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to be a party, and cause each of
its Subsidiaries to do so. 
 6.16.     Designation as Senior Debt. Designate all Obligations as “Designated

thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented
the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of
an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a Cash Collateral Account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired face amount of such Letters of Credit.
Amounts held in such Cash Collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully

hereto, proceed to protect, enforce and exercise all rights and remedies under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or applicable Law, including, but not limited to, by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration
or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates; 

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and each Lender’s Commitments shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall
automatically become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 












 8.04. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section
8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), or after the commencement of any Liquidation any amounts received on account of the
Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion
of the Obligations (excluding the Other Liabilities) constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable
to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
 Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations
(excluding the Other Liabilities) constituting indemnities, Secured Party Expenses, and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the

Swing Line Loans; 
 Sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans
ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Sixth held by them; 

Seventh, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, to Cash Collateralize that portion of the L/C
Obligations comprising the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; 
 Eighth, to payment of that portion of the
Obligations arising from Specified Swap Contracts, Bank Products and Cash Management Services, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Eighth held by them; and

otherwise required by Law.

 (a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act on its behalf as the Co-Collateral Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Co-Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Co-Collateral Agent by
the terms hereof or thereof, together with 












 
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Borrowers and the other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its
capacities as a Lender) and the Co-Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and
Co-Collateral Agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or
any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and
Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Persons serving as the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or Co-Collateral Agent and the
term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Administrative Agent and Co-Collateral Agent hereunder in their individual
capacity. Such Persons and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and Co-Collateral Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent: 

(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 

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












 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such
Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower or a Lender. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive 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 or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this
Agreement); 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. 
 The Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent. 












 9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower or, if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, may be required to resign upon receipt of a notice of termination from the Required Lenders. Upon receipt of any such
notice of resignation or termination, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 In addition to the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent may resign as the “collateral agent” at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Parent Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to
appoint a financial institution as the “collateral agent” hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and the “collateral agent’s” resignation shall become effective on the
earlier of (i) the acceptance of such successor “collateral agent” by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor “collateral agent”. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the “collateral agent” hereunder by a successor
“collateral agent”, that the successor “collateral agent” shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring “collateral agent” under this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents, and the retiring “collateral agent” under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor “collateral agent” all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the
Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor “collateral agent” under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and
(ii) execute and deliver to such successor “collateral agent” or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing 












 
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor “collateral agent” of the security interests created
under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring “collateral agent” shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. After any retiring “collateral agent’s”
resignation hereunder as the “collateral agent”, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents
while it was the “collateral agent” hereunder. 
 Any resignation of Bank of America, N.A. or its successor as the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute the resignation of Bank of America, N.A. or its successor as the Swing Line Lender, and any successor the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this
Section 9.06 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor the Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) the Borrowers shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by
the retiring the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Parent Borrower for
cancellation and (c) the Borrowers shall issue, if so requested by successor the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, in the principal
amount of the Swing Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. 
 U.S. Bank National Association may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower or, if U.S. Bank National Association is a Defaulting Lender, may be required to resign upon receipt of a notice of termination from the Required Lenders and such resignation
shall become effective on the date set forth in any such notice. Upon any such resignation, U.S. Bank National Association shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as Co-Collateral Agent and any reference herein to the Co-Collateral Agent shall refer to the Administrative Agent. 

9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Co-Collateral
Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent and the
Co-Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agent. 
 9.08. No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Co-Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder. The use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in
the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under the agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 












 9.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and
11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b)    to collect and receive any monies or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.11 and 11.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any Lender or in any such proceeding. 
 9.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
 (a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or
held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, any Letter of Credit that has been Cash
Collateralized or any obligation under Other Liabilities), (ii) that is disposed of, sold or to be sold (other than to another Loan Party) as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.01; 

(b)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and 
 (c)    to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i). 

The Lenders agree to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into the
Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. 












 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such
Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10. 

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Secured
Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised
solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the
“collateral agent” and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the “collateral agent” on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the “collateral agent”) or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as “collateral
agent” for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative
Agent at such sale or other disposition. 
 No Specified Swap Contract or Cash Management Services shall create (or be deemed to create) in
favor of any Lender counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided this Agreement and the
Guaranty and Collateral Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as the “collateral agent” as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan
Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause. 
 9.11. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to
indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.11 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in
accordance with such Applicable Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent harmless 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 (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or













 
omitted by such 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 9.11 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

9.12. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make
payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason
(including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of
withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this
Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include an Issuing Lender and a Swing Line Lender. 

9.13. Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 

(a)    agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent on the first day of each month with a summary of all
Other Liabilities, if any, due or to become due to such Lender; 
 (b)    is deemed to have requested
that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Borrowers hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral
received by the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Reports”); 
 (c)    expressly
agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 

(d)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations,
that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on
representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel; 
 (e)    agrees to keep all Reports confidential
and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute except to its participants, or use any Report in any other manner, except that such Reports may be disclosed to the extent permitted under Section 11.07 hereof; and













 (f)    without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may
reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Credit Extensions that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, any Loans
of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and
other amounts (including attorney costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through a breach by the
indemnifying Lender of its obligations under Section 11.07. 
 ARTICLE X 

CONTINUING GUARANTY 
 10.01.
Guaranty. Holdings hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon
acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties, arising
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the
collection or enforcement thereof). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Holdings, and conclusive for the
purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence,
validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the
obligations of Holdings under this Guaranty, and Holdings hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 

10.02. Rights of Lenders. Holdings consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice
or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof;
(b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Holdings consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Holdings under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Holdings. 

10.03. Certain Waivers. Holdings waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrowers or
any other Guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of the Borrowers; (b) any defense based on any claim that Holdings’ obligations exceed or are more
burdensome than those of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Holdings’ liability hereunder; (d) any 












 
right to proceed against the Borrowers, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit
of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting
the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Holdings expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations. As provided
below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 10.04. Obligations
Independent. The obligations of Holdings hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against Holdings
to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrowers or any other person or entity is joined as a party. 
 10.05. Subrogation.
Holdings shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have
been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments and the Revolving Credit Facility is terminated. If any amounts are paid to Holdings in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 

10.06. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing
and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments and the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Obligations are
terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or Holdings is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its
right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such
setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Holdings under this paragraph shall
survive termination of this Guaranty. 
 10.07. Subordination. Holdings hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and
indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to Holdings, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrowers to Holdings as subrogee of the Secured Parties or resulting from Holdings’ performance
under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. If the Secured Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrowers to Holdings shall be enforced and performance received by Holdings as
trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Holdings under this Guaranty. 

10.08. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case
commenced by or against Holdings or the Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Holdings immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties. 












 10.09. Condition of the Borrowers. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that it has the
responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as Holdings requires, and
that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and Holdings is not relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to Holdings any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other
guarantor (Holdings waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

shall not require the consent of any other Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent
of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent

AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE
DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to
Holdings, the Borrowers, any Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Borrower Materials through the Platform, any other electronic messaging service or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the
Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may change their addresses, facsimile or
telephone numbers for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent
Borrower, and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. 

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any
notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices, Conversion/Continuation Notices and Applications) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic
communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such
Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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 and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 












 11.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent and their respective

credit facility provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender), in connection
with the enforcement or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.04, or
(B) in connection with Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
(and any sub-agent thereof), the Co-Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of
the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the
Co-Collateral Agent and their respective Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought
by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a
claim brought by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (c) Reimbursement by
Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 11.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or
any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or such 












 
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Issuing Lender or
the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(d). 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby
waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this
Section 11.04 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The
agreements in this Section 11.04 and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(e) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 11.05. Payments Set Aside. To the
extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 11.06.
Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit or that causes any Letter of Credit to be issued), except that
none of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties 












 
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in Section 11.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 
 in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and 
 in any case not described in Section 11.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 for Revolving Credit Facility assignments,
unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 
 (ii)    Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by Section 11.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the
Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 












 
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Commitment if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 

the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitments. 

(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a single assignment); provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum. 

(v)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a
holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person). 

(vi)    No Assignment to Parent Borrower, etc. No such assignment shall be made to the Parent
Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Parent Borrower
(at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(d). 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption (or the equivalent thereof delivered in electronic form) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 












 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or the
Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 11.06, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such sections, including Section 3.01(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to Section 11.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain a register of all such Participants. The entries in the Participant register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrowers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. If requested by the Borrowers, each Lender shall, upon reasonable notice, permit a bona fide external tax advisor
selected by the Parent Borrower (the “Advisor”) to periodically review its Participant Register to confirm that such register is being maintained in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations; provided that the
Advisor shall maintain the confidentiality of all information contained in the Participant Registers and shall not share any such information with the Borrowers except as may be required by the Borrowers in connection with any income tax audit or
other income tax proceeding of the Borrowers or to comply with any tax withholding or reporting obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without
regard to the existence of any participation. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement
to a greater payment resulted from a Change in Law occurring after the Participant became a Participant. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or
the use of a paper-based 












 
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York
State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 11.07.
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (so long as the Persons to whom such disclosure is made are informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and agree in writing or are otherwise obligated to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
(provided that any such assignee or Participant is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.07) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Parent Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 11.07 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, or (i) on a confidential
basis to any rating agency. 
 For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or
such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan 












 
Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or
such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender
shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a
statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
 11.09.
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the
Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

11.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

11.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any
Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 












 11.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.13.
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the
right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Parent Borrower may, at the Borrowers’ sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(a)    the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 11.06(b); 
 (b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); 

(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 11.14. Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Etc. 
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE

TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST A BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER

AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

hand, and each of the Borrowers and Holdings is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment,

drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
