 Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall
become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a); provided that at the option of the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving
Credit Facility, the highest pricing level shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which a Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered but was not delivered, and shall continue to so apply to and including the date
on which such Compliance Certificate is so delivered (and thereafter the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this
Agreement, if it is subsequently determined before the 91st day after the date on which all Loans have been repaid and all Commitments have been
terminated that the Total Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest or fees for any period based on an
Applicable Rate that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Total Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Rate” for any day occurring within the period
covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Total Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by a Borrower
for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.08(a) and 2.09(a) as a result of the miscalculation of the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable by such Borrower upon the date that is five (5) Business Days
after notice by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower of such miscalculation (even if, for the avoidance of doubt, such fifth business day occurs on or after the 91st day referred to above). If the preceding sentence is complied with the failure to previously pay such interest and fees at the correct Applicable Rate shall not in and of itself constitute a Default and no amounts
shall be payable at the Default Rate in respect of any such interest or fees. 
 “Appropriate Lender” means, at any time,

entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to
accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that
may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chose, or if none, then based upon
such optional rate chosen as the Parent Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate. 
 (f) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a
Specified Transaction (other than the Transaction), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings, operating
expense reductions and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction (other than the Transaction) which is being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected to be realized); provided that (A) such amounts are projected by
the Parent Borrower in good faith to a result from actions either taken or expected to be taken within 12 months after the end of such Test Period (which cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies shall be subject only to certification
by management of the Parent Borrower and calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period) and (B) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause to the extent
duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (including, without limitation, through clause (a)(viii) of the definition thereof) with respect to such period. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Total Leverage Ratio for the purpose of the definition of “Applicable Rate”, Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio for the purpose of Section 2.05(b) and the Total Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio for the purposes of Section 7.15, the events described in this Section that occurred subsequent to the end of the Test
Period shall not be given pro forma effect. 
 SECTION 1.08. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein,
the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer
Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such
increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 SECTION 2.01. The Loans. (a) The Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a loan to each Borrower denominated in Dollars in the principal amount set
out in Schedule 2.01B and having an aggregate principal amount equal to such Term Lender’s Term Commitment on the Closing Date; provided that gross proceeds required to be funded by each Term Lender with respect to its Term Loans will be
96% of the principal amount of such Term Loans. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 (b) The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make
loans denominated in Dollars to the Parent Borrower as elected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day after the Closing Date until the
Maturity Date (provided that each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the Initial Revolving Borrowing, at the request of the Parent Borrower, on the
Closing Date), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under
Section 2.05 and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings with respect to which this
Section 2.02 shall not apply), each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of the Co-Borrower in the case of Borrowings by the Co-Borrower), which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon
(i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans 

  

 64 








 
or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (i) above may be delivered not later than 9:00 a.m. two Business Days prior to the Closing Date in the case of the initial Credit Extensions. Each telephonic notice by the Parent
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Each 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 $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or, when
indicated in the case of a Term Borrowing, on behalf of the Co-Borrower) is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans
to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Parent Borrower fails (on its own behalf or on behalf of the
Co-Borrower) to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.
Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Parent Borrower requests (on its own behalf or on behalf of the
Co-Borrower) a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of
its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of the Co-Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon 

  

 65 








 
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the specified Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower 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; provided that if, on the date the
Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing under a Revolving Credit Facility is given by the Parent Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any
such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Parent Borrower as provided above. 
 (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, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders may require that no Loans under the
applicable Facility may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit
Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty (20) Interest Periods in effect
unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be
made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be
made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
  

 66 








 (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative
Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative
Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of
the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If a
Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such
Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.03. Letters
of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitments. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (provided that any Letter
of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and
(B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with respect to Letters of
Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of Credit if, as of the date of the applicable Letter of Credit, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment,
(y) the Outstanding 

  

 67 








 
Amount of the all L/C Obligations would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or (z) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit. Each request by the Parent Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Parent Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with
the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly
the Parent Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (ii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the
date of issuance or last renewal, unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent; or 
 (B) the expiry
date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender shall have approved such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in
respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized. 
 (iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation
to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on
the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder); 
  

 68 








 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C
Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; or 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such
L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 
 (iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under
no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not
accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Appropriate Lenders
with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in
Article 9 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Parent
Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must
be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and
time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the expiry date thereof; (c) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (d) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (e) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (f) such other matters as the relevant L/C
Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application 

  

 69 








 
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date
of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the relevant L/C
Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in Article 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (or the
applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire
from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a
Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least
once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an
Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time until an expiry date not later than the
applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at 

  

 70 








 
such time, to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received actual notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) sufficiently in advance of the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as
applicable, or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (it being understood that such notice shall not be presumptively sufficient unless such notice is provided not less
than five (5) Business Days in advance of such Nonrenewal Notice Date). 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter
of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such
Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date (the
“Takeout Date”) which is the later of (x) the first Business Day after the giving of the related notice pursuant to the preceding sentence or (y) the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each
such date, an “Honor Date”), the Parent Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administration Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, together with (if the Takeout Date and the Honor Date are not the
same) interest on such amount at the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans from and including the Honor Date to but not including the Takeout Date. If the Parent Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Takeout Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the
Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Takeout Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a
Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  

 71 








 (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer)
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any
Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is provided prior to
12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any
Unreimbursed Amount of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer a L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in
respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer. 
 (v)
Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that, except with respect to the initial Credit 

  

 72 








 
Extensions made on the Closing Date, each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse
the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. (i) If, at any time after
an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Appropriate Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(d), the Administrative Agent receives for
the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent),
the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in
the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each
Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on 

  

 73 








 
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each
Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any
time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the
relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
 (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such
Letter of Credit; or 
  

 74 








 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party; 
 provided that the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinafter, shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Parent Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of such L/C Issuer. 
 The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is
delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer
shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any
action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) any lack or alleged lack of due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Parent Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Parent Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(f); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parent Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer
may be 

  

 75 








 
liable to the Parent Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Parent
Borrower that were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required Lenders require the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c),
(ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing or (iii) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and a backstop letter of
credit that is reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer is not in place, then the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date
of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (iii), (A) the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received
on such day prior to 12:00 noon or (B) if clause (A) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the
Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge
and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to
documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The
Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash
Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter of 

  

 76 








 
Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the
relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower.
In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower 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. 
 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Parent Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to (A) the Applicable Rate times the daily
maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit),
minus (B) the fronting fee set forth in Section 2.03(j) below. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its
own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other lower rate as may be mutually agreed by the Parent Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer) on the daily maximum amount then
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for 

  

 77 








 
its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating
to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of
any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (l)
Reporting. Each L/C Issuer that is not the Administrative Agent will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the fifteenth Business Day of each calendar quarter, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it
and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding calendar quarter (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), (ii) in the event that an issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit for which
notice has been given in accordance with this Section is not effected in accordance with the terms of such notice, prompt notice to such effect, (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount
of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure. 
 (m) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender
agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any
time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as
Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate 

  

 78 








 
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05 and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated
in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in
an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral
multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing
Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not
then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent
Borrower. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan 

  

 79 








 
in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which
written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice
promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day
Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that
so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.04(c), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees
as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. 

  

 80 








 
A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving
Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line
Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as
those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each
Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement. 
  

 81 








 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for
invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to
Swing Line Lender. The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 
 SECTION 2.05. Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which may be provided by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Co-Borrower), at any
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans owing by it and, in the case of the Parent Borrower, Revolving Credit Loans owing by it in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any partial 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 Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such
prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or of a Term Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or
Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (ii) The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to
time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal 

  

 82 








 
amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, a Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise
be delayed. 
 (iv) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal
owing by that Borrower in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in a manner determined at the discretion of such Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment. 
 (b) Mandatory. (i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the
related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Parent Borrower (on its behalf and on behalf of the Co-Borrower) in respect of Borrowing by the Co-Borrower shall offer to prepay, subject to clause (b)(vi) of
this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (on a pro rata basis) equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the
fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary
prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the
extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to
2.0 to 1.0. 
 (ii) (A) If (x) the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or
assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a Disposition to the Borrower or a
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (e), (g), (h), (k), (l), (m), (n) or (o)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds,
the Parent Borrower (on its behalf and on behalf of the Co-Borrower in respect of Borrowings by the Co-Borrower) shall offer to prepay on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or 

  

 83 








 
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to clauses (b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (on a pro
rata basis) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that, except as provided in Section 7.05(j)(iii), no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion
of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Parent Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B). 
 (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition
(x) specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A), (y) any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.05(f) or (z) as specifically provided in Section 7.05(j)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the
Borrowers, the Borrowers may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for their business within (x) fifteen (15) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Parent Borrower or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof and
(2) ninety (90) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and
subject to clauses (b)(v) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after a Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer
intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05. 
 (iii)
If the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (but subject to Section 7.03(z)), the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf and on
behalf of the Co-Borrower in respect of Borrowings by the Co-Borrower) shall offer to prepay, subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (on a pro rata basis) equal to 100% of all Net Cash
Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) [Reserved]. 
  

 84 








 (v) (A) Each prepayment of a Borrower’s Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct order of maturity; and (B) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Share of such prepayment subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b). 
 (vi) The
Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior
to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and the Borrower making such prepayment and shall provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of the Parent Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory
prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from
a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such
Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term
Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Term Loans of such Lender (with such non-declining Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in
the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Term Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrowers
(“Retained Declined Proceeds”). 
 (vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b),
(A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash 

  

 85 








 
Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by
applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may
be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all
actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be
immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result
thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds
of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be
retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (B), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrowers apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or
prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrowers rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash
Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the
repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary. 
 (viii) In the event that a Term Lender of any Class rejects its Pro Rata
Share of any mandatory prepayment hereunder, the prepayments of the Term Loans of such Class of any Lenders that do not reject such prepayment shall be applied ratably to their respective shares of each Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class, in
order that after giving effect thereto the remaining share of each Term Lender of such Class in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class shall be ratably equivalent. 
  

 86 








 (c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05
in respect of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder
together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to
or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall
also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.

 SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Parent Borrower (on its behalf or on
behalf of the Co-Borrower) may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or
any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by
the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Parent Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

  

 87 








 (b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently
reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a). The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any
termination or reduction of unused portions of the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be
reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of
any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 SECTION 2.07.
Repayment of Loans. (a) Term Loans. Each Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each month set forth below, an aggregate principal
amount equal to the percentage set forth below opposite such month of the aggregate gross principal amount of all Term Loans borrowed by it hereunder (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments by it in accordance
with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all of such Borrower’s Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 (b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (c) Swing Line Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 SECTION 2.08. Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (b) Each
Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 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 by the
Borrower of such Loan 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. 
  

 89 








 SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j):

 (a) Commitment Fees. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds
the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender
during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Parent Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall
otherwise have been due and payable by the Parent Borrower prior to such time; provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
The commitment fees for the Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for such Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was
in effect. 
 (b) Other Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in
the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrowers and the applicable Agent). 
 (c) Prepayment Fee. Upon any prepayment or repricing of the Term Loans as part of a Repricing Transaction prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, the Parent Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Fee”) equal to (i) in the case of any such prepayment or repricing occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0% of
the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid or repriced pursuant to such Repricing Transaction; and (ii) in the case of any prepayment or repricing occurring after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid or repriced pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. All such premium payments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the affected
Lenders. 
  

 90 








 SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate
Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a),
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender to each Borrower shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrowers, in
each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the each
Borrower 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, a Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans
to such Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. 
  

 91 








 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a)
and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from a Borrower to, in the case of the
Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry,
or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally. (a) 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 Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (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. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (c) Unless a Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, that such Borrower will
not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender or L/C Issuer. If and to
the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available
to such Lender or L/C Issuer in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent 

  

 92 








 
to such Lender or L/C Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to
time in effect. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Parent Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) 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 2, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set
forth in Article 4 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. 
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not
joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. 
 (f) 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. 
 (g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all
amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 4.02 of the U.S. Security Agreement (assuming for such purposes that the amounts owed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are the only Secured Obligations thereunder). If the
Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied,
the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such
time and (b) the 

  

 93 








 
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then
owing to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender
shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it to a Borrower, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in
excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by
them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, in respect of such Borrower as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in
respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and
will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
 SECTION 2.14. Incremental Term Loans. (a) The Parent Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to
the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of 

  

 94 








 
term loans or, if satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, an increase of an existing tranche (the “Incremental Term Loans”) in favor of
either Borrower in whole or in part; provided that (i) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default shall exist and the financial covenants in Section 7.15 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis
for the most recent Test Period after giving effect to the proposed borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans and any related transactions, (ii) at the time when any such Incremental Term Loans are made (and after giving effect thereto), no
Default shall exist and (iii) at the time when any such Incremental Term Loans are made, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and any related transactions, shall
not exceed 3.5:1. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability
under the limit set forth in the preceding sentence). The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the
Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as the Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions
applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent such differences (other than interest rates and amortization schedule) are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
(ii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the lenders thereof; provided that the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average
Life to Maturity shorter than that of the Term Loans (except to the extent arising by reason of amortization or prepayment of the Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence). Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section shall
set forth the requested amount and Borrower, and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Term Lender will have an obligation to make a
portion of any Incremental Term Loan) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall
have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an
amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such 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 
  

 95 








 
opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of (and, in the case of any
Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all
references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The
Parent Borrower or the Co-Borrower, as the case may be, shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event that the interest margins for any Incremental Term Loans are more than 0.25% per annum greater than the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans, then the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans shall be
increased to the extent necessary so that the interest margins for the Incremental Term Loans shall not be more than 0.25% per annum greater than the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans; provided that in determining the applicable
interest margin for the Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) paid by the applicable Borrower or the Arrangers
(or their affiliates) to the Lenders of the Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to
maturity) and (y) any arrangement, underwriting, commitment or other fees payable to the Arrangers or Agents (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers or underwriters (or their respective
affiliates) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded. 
 (c) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE 3 
 TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 SECTION 3.01. Taxes. (a) Except as required by law, any and all payments by a Borrower (the term Borrowers under Article 3 being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit
is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments,
fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income
(including 

  

 96 








 
branch profits) imposed by reason of any connection between it and any jurisdiction other than by executing or entering into any Loan Document, receiving
payments thereunder or having been a party to, performed its obligations under, or enforced, any Loan Documents, (ii) franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed
in respect of an Assignee (pursuant to an assignment under Section 10.07) on the date it becomes an Assignee to the extent such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable had such assigning Lender not assigned its interest
arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment is at the express written request of the Parent Borrower) and (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of the failure (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if not
legally able to do so) of any Agent or Lender to comply with either the provisions of Section 3.01(b) and (c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender, as defined below) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in the case of any U.S. Lender,
as defined below) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If a Borrower or a Guarantor is
required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such
Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date
of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), such Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy
of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt has been made available to such Borrower or Guarantor. If a Borrower or Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to a Borrower or Guarantor, such Borrower or Guarantor shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental Taxes
that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. 
 (b) To the extent it is legally able to do so, each
Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign
Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), an accurate, 

  

 97 








 
complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled
to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to
any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder
described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit I and an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person. 
 (c) Thereafter
and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (i) promptly submit to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such
forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. federal
withholding tax (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent
form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (d) Each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3)
of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that
such Agent or Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from
time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 
  

 98 








 (e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender is subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. federal withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such
U.S. federal withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Taxes except to the extent such Foreign Lender is an Assignee and such Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to the assignment.
Further, the Borrowers shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes
subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending
Office of such Lender (other than at the written request of the Borrower to change such Lending Office). 
 (f) The Parent Borrower and, in
respect of Loans made to it, the Co-Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or (to the extent required by law) registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest
related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under
any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Parent Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(f) being hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”). 
 (g) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender with respect to any payment received
by such Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document, such Agent or Lender may pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the applicable Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted whether or not such Taxes or other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(g) shall be made within ten (10) days
after the date Parent Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender. 
 (h) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive 

  

 99 








 
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s
prior written consent. 
 (i) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect
of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to receive such refund and upon receipt of any such refund
shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any
interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to such Borrower, net of all reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to
repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the applicable Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the
relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender
or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or make available its tax returns or any other information it reasonably deems confidential or require any Lender to do
anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled. 
 (j) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (g) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts
(subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax
related forms which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by a Borrower; provided that such efforts are made at the Borrowers’ expense and on terms that, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(j) shall affect or postpone any of
the Obligations of a Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (f). 
  

 100 








 (k) The Loan Parties and Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to
be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably
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 any Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the applicable Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert
Base Rate Loans to such 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
applicable Borrower (or the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Co-Borrower) may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all then outstanding affected Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to such Borrower 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 promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will
not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 SECTION 3.03. Inability to
Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank eurodollar market 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 that 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, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date hereof,
the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected 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 applicable Borrower (or the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Co-Borrower) may 

  

 101 








 
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. 
 SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and
Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof,
there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender
in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or which would have been so
covered but for an exclusion included therein, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)) does not represent the cost to such
Lender of complying with the requirements of any applicable Law in relation to its making, funding or maintaining of Eurodollar Rate Loans, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable
detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the applicable Borrower in respect of each affected Eurodollar Rate Loan shall pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. At any time when any Eurodollar Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the applicable Borrower may either (i) if the
affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrowers receive any such demand
from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate
Loan. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the
interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of
such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), each Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
reduction relating to the Loans to such Borrower after receipt of such demand. 
  

 102 








 (c) Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan to it 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 in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or
analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and
rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the applicable Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from
receipt of such notice. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the
Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or
the rights of such Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04. 
 SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, each Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense reasonably incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan to it on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
  

 103 








 (b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to
prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; 
 including any loss or expense
(excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

 SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under
this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Parent Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or Lender
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under
Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies a Borrower of the event that
gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests
compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Parent Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another
Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable);
provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) If any Lender
gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this
Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be
automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans to each Borrower held by the Lenders holding
Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  

 104 








 SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time
(i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in
Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Parent Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers, in the
case of clauses (i) and (iii) only) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the
subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such
Person; and provided further that in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, (i) the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of
the Loan Documents and (ii) if the consent, amendment or waiver in question contemplates a Repricing Transaction in respect of any Term Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Parent Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Fee (if any) required
pursuant to Section 2.09(c) as if the outstanding Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender were prepaid or repriced in their entirety in connection with a Repricing Transaction on the date of the consummation of such assignment. No such
replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
 (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) the assignee Lender
shall purchase, at par, all Loans, accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to the assigning Lender as of the date of replacement and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender has executed an Assignment and
Assumption or delivered its Notes to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans,
Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
  

 105 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may
not be replaced hereunder at any time when it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and
issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to
each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09. 
 (d) In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any
provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with
respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting
Lender.” 
 SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article 3 shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 SECTION 4.02. Conditions to All Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than a
Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent: 
 (a) The representations and warranties of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in Article 5 or any other Loan Document (except, in the case

as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.

such information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to the Borrower (or such parent), on the one hand, and the information relating to the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand and (B) to the extent such information is in lieu of information required to be provided under Section 6.01(a), such materials are accompanied by a report and opinion of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or any other independent registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to

 Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or Section 6.02(c)
may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Parent Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Parent Borrower’s or Company’s website on
the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the

copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall notify (which may be
by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained

accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. 
 The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower
hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side”
Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, 

  

 119 








 
at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive
and proprietary) with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be
treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” 
 SECTION 6.03. Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the
Administrative Agent: 
 (a) of the occurrence of any Default; and 
 (b) of (i) any dispute, litigation, investigation or proceeding between any Loan Party and any Governmental Authority, (ii) the commencement
of, or any material development in, any litigation or proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, including pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws or in respect of IP Rights, the occurrence of any noncompliance by any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries with, or liability under, any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, or (iii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, in any such case, has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written statement of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower
(x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Parent Borrower has taken and proposes to
take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.04. Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy, as the same shall
become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case, to the extent
(a) any such tax, assessment, charge or levy is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (b) the failure to pay or discharge the same would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 120 








 SECTION 6.05. Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full
force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7.04) and (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all corporate rights and privileges
(including its good standing) except, in the case of (a) or (b), to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to a transaction permitted by Article 7. 
 SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and fire, casualty and condemnation excepted and
consistent with past practice. 
 SECTION 6.07. Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain with insurance companies that the Parent
Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds
customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar
businesses as the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Parent Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice. Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall
agree in its sole discretion), the Parent Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent evidence that all insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in effect and that the Administrative
Agent has been named as loss payee and/or additional insured, as applicable, under each insurance policy with respect to such insurance of the Loan Parties (other than business interruption insurance) as to which the Administrative Agent shall have
reasonably requested to be so named. 
 SECTION 6.08. Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements
of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property, except if the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  

 121 








 SECTION 6.09. Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in which
entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are maintained in a manner that permits the Parent Borrower to issue financial statements in conformity with GAAP consistently applied for all material financial transactions and
matters involving the assets and business of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 6.10.
Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or
abstracts therefrom (other than the records of the board of directors of such Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary) and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (subject to
customary access agreements), all at the reasonable expense of the Parent Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Parent Borrower;
provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the Parent
Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the
Parent Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Parent Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Parent Borrower’s
independent public accountants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, none of the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies
or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (a) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (c) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and any applicable limitation in any Collateral Document, 

  

 122 








 
take all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement continues to be
satisfied, including: 
 (a) upon the formation or acquisition of any new direct or indirect wholly owned Material Domestic Subsidiary (in
each case, other than an Excluded Subsidiary) by any Loan Party, the designation in accordance with Section 6.14 of any existing direct or indirect wholly owned Material Domestic Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or any Domestic Subsidiary
becoming a wholly owned Material Domestic Subsidiary: 
 (i) within forty five (45) days after such formation,
acquisition or designation or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion:

Subsidiary in detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (consistent with the Mortgages, Security Agreements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements and other Collateral Documents in effect on the Closing Date), in each case
granting Liens and Guaranties required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement; 
 (C) cause each such Material Domestic
Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to deliver any and all certificates representing Equity Interests (to the extent certificated) that are required to be pledged pursuant to the

 123 








 
documents customary under local law) and instruments evidencing the intercompany Indebtedness held by such Material Domestic Subsidiary and required to be
pledged pursuant to the Collateral Documents, indorsed in blank to the Administrative Agent; 
 (D) take and cause such
Material Domestic Subsidiary and each direct or indirect parent of such Material Domestic Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to take whatever action (including the recording of
Mortgages, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or the equivalent in the applicable jurisdiction and delivery of stock and membership interest certificates to the extent certificated) may be necessary 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 Liens required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, enforceable against all third parties in
accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), 
 (ii) within forty-five (45) days after the request therefor by the Administrative Agent (or such longer period as the Administrative
Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), deliver to the Administrative Agent a signed copy of an 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 such matters set forth in this Section 6.11(a) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and 
 (iii) as promptly as practicable after the request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Material Real Property owned by each such Material Domestic Subsidiary,
any existing title reports, surveys or environmental assessment reports in the possession of any Loan Party; provided however that there shall be no obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent any environmental assessment report whose
disclosure to the Administrative Agent would require the consent of a Person other than the Parent Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, where, despite the commercially reasonable efforts of the Parent Borrower to obtain such consent, such consent
cannot be obtained; and 
  

 124 








 (b) (i) the Parent Borrower shall obtain the security interests and Guarantees set forth on Schedule

denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect
on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed
the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
refinancing.

classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the above clauses; provided that (i) all Indebtedness outstanding
under the Loan Documents will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance only on the exception in clause (a) of Section 7.03 and (ii) all Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Unsecured Interim Loan Facilities, the Senior Notes
and the Senior Unsecured Exchange Notes will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance only on the exception of clause (u) of Section 7.03. 
 The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this
Section 7.03. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Parent Borrower
dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 SECTION 7.04. Fundamental Changes. Merge, amalgamate, dissolve, liquidate,
consolidate with or into another Person, or Dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any Person, except that:

 155 








 (b) Specific Covenants. The Parent Borrower, or, in the case of Section 7.14, Holdings, fails

 (c) Other Defaults. Any Loan Party fails to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement (not specified in Section 8.01(a) or (b) above) contained in any Loan Document on its part to be
performed or observed and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; or 
 (d) Representations and Warranties. Any representation, warranty, certification or statement of fact made or deemed made by any Loan Party herein,
in any other Loan Document, or in any document required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made; or 
 (e) Cross-Default. Any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) fails to make any payment beyond the applicable grace period, if any,
whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand, or otherwise, in respect of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness hereunder) having an aggregate outstanding principal amount (individually or in the aggregate with all
other Indebtedness as to which such a failure shall exist) of not less than the Threshold Amount, or (ii) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness, or any other event occurs (other than,
with respect to Indebtedness consisting of Swap Contracts, termination events or equivalent events pursuant to the terms of such Swap Contracts), the effect of which default or other event is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such
Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed
(automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem such Indebtedness to be made, prior to its stated maturity; provided that this clause (e)(B) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a
result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness; provided further that such failure is
unremedied and is not waived by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to any termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02; or

such judgment or order shall not have been satisfied, vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending an appeal for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or 
 (h) ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in liability of Holdings, the Parent Borrower or their

 157 








 
transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) or as a result of acts or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the satisfaction in
full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability
or obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Aggregate Commitments), or purports in writing to revoke or rescind any Loan Document; or 
 (j) Collateral Documents. (i) Any Collateral Document after delivery thereof pursuant to Section 4.01 or 6.11 shall for any reason
(other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or 7.05) cease to create, or any Lien purported to be created by any Collateral Document shall be asserted in writing by any
Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected lien, with the priority required by the Collateral Documents (or other security purported to be created on the applicable Collateral) on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral
purported to be covered thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to maintain possession of
certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements or the equivalent in the applicable jurisdiction and except as to Collateral consisting
of real property to the extent that such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has not denied or failed to acknowledge coverage, or (ii) any of the Equity Interests of the Parent Borrower ceasing to be
pledged pursuant to the U.S. Security Agreement free of Liens other than Liens created by the Security Agreements or any nonconsensual Liens permitted by Section 7.01;

not less than the Threshold Amount or (ii) the subordination provisions set forth in any Junior Financing Documentation governing Junior Financing with an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Threshold Amount shall, in whole or in
part, cease to be effective or cease to be legally valid, binding and enforceable against the holders of any such Junior Financing, if applicable; or

 SECTION 8.02. Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions: 
 (a) declare
Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Parent Borrower; 
 (c) require that the Parent Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;

 provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code of
the United States, the Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid
shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender. 
 SECTION 8.03. 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 and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in order set forth in Section 4.02 of the U.S. Security Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.04. Right To Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 8.01, in the event of any Event of Default under any covenant set forth in Section 7.15 and until the expiration of the tenth (10th) day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, Holdings (or any direct or indirect parent of Holdings) or the Parent
Borrower may engage in a Permitted Equity Issuance to any member of the Sponsor Group or otherwise receive cash 

  

 159 








 
equity contributions to the capital of Holdings (collectively, the “Cure Right”) and, in each case, apply the amount of the net cash
proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter; provided that such net cash proceeds (i) are actually received by the Parent Borrower (including through capital contribution of such net cash
proceeds to the Parent Borrower) no later than ten (10) days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder, and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to
cure such Event of Default under Section 7.15 for any applicable period. 
 (b) Upon receipt by the Parent Borrower of such cash (the
“Cure Amount”), Consolidated EBITDA for any period of calculation which includes the last fiscal quarter of the Test Period ending immediately prior to the date on which such Cure Amount was paid shall be increased, solely for the
purpose of calculating any financial ratio set forth in Section 7.15, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount. The Cure Amount shall be applied solely for the purpose set forth in the preceding sentence and not for any other purpose under this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Cure Amount shall not be included in the proceeds of equity issuances or capital contributions referred to in clause (iii) of the definition of Available Amount or in Section 7.06(b)(i).

 (c) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of
Section 7.15, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 7.15 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the
applicable breach or default of Section 7.15 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purpose of the Agreement. 
 (d) In each
period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.04(a) is made. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER
AGENTS 
 SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. (a) Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 (other than Sections 9.09 and 9.11) are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and 

  

 160 








 
the Lenders, and the Parent Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein 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 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. 
 (b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and
each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 9 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by
it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article 9 and in the definition of
“Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 
 (c) 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, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security
interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender 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 9.02 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 9 (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as
if set 

  

 161 








 
forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent
to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents
and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders. 
 (d) Each Lender hereby appoints and constitutes the
Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), within the meaning of Section 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, of the Lenders for purposes of holding any hypothec or other
security granted in the Province of Quebec by any Loan Party, to secure any obligations whatsoever. Each future Lender confirms and ratifies the appointment and constitution of the Administrative Agent, or its successors in accordance with the
provisions hereof, as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) of all Lenders for such purposes. The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that the first issue of any debenture
issued pursuant to any deed of hypothec may be purchased by the Administrative Agent, by underwriting, purchase, subscription or otherwise notwithstanding the terms of Section 32 of the Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons
(Quebec). 
 SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees
or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction). 
 SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any
officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other 

  

 162 








 
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents,
or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
 SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as
may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto. 
  

 163 








 SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Parent Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 8; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent
has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the
Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related
Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as
to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by
any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of
the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
  

 164 








 SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) (to the extent
not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related
Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of
such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance
with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07.
In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not
affect the Borrowers’ continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.08. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective
Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding
any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent 

  

 165 








 
shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 SECTION 9.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be
consented to by the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Parent Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor
administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such
other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise
ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.09). After the retiring 

  

 166 








 
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. 
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged
from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer effectively to assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
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 2.03(g), 2.03(h), 2.09 and 10.04) 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, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to 

  

 167 








 
the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their
respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 
 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 or
to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 9.11.
Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree: 
 (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due
and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless the Letters of Credit in the
Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized or if a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer is in place) and any other obligation (including a guarantee that is
contingent in nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than the Parent
Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries or any other Guarantor, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or
(iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below; 
 (b) to release or 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); 
 (c) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations
under the Guaranty if (i) in the case of any Subsidiary, such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder or (ii) in the case of Holdings, as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Unsecured Interim Loan Facilities, the Senior Notes, the Senior Unsecured Exchange Notes or any Junior
Financing in excess of the Threshold Amount; and 
  

 168 








 (d) if any Guarantor shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible
Officer) and the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under the Guaranty, (i) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under
the Guaranty and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor in
respect of the Senior Unsecured Interim Loan Facilities, the Senior Notes, the Senior Unsecured Exchange Notes or any other Junior Financing; and provided further that the Guaranty by Holdings is not subject to the foregoing release
provisions. 
 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 Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this
Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party
may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12. Other Agents;
Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “co-documentation agent,”
“joint bookrunner” or “joint lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none
of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in
deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental
Administrative Agents. (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as agent or trustee in 

  

 169 








 
such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the
enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental
Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 
 (b) In the event that the
Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by
or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental
Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the
exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 9 and of Sections
10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or
such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required
by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Parent Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall,
or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Administrative Agent. 
  

 170 








 ARTICLE 10 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 10.01. Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by a Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the
Required Lenders and the applicable Borrower or the Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such
amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase
of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under
Section 2.07 or 2.08 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of
any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 
 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, it being understood that any change to the definitions of Total Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest; provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders
shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate; 
 (d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or any provision of Section 2.05(b)(v)(B), 2.06(c), 2.13 or 8.03 or
Section 4.02 of the U.S. Security Agreement without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (e) other than in a
transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; 
  

 171 








 (f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or
substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (g) waive any condition set forth in
Section 4.02 as to any Credit Extension under any Revolving Credit Facility without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such Facility; or 
 (h) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, the Prepayment Fee otherwise payable hereunder, or amend, modify or waive the provisions of Section 2.09(c) or the definition of Refinancing
Transaction with the effect of restricting any Lender’s right to receive the Prepayment Fee, in each case without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of a L/C Issuer
under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required
above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights
or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting
Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (v) the consent of Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms
adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Facilities. 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 (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or
deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to
this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 

  

 172 








 
with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term
Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such
Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans
(or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent arising by reason of amortization or prepayment of the Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such
Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and
other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by
the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver
is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. (a) General.
Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or

 (i) if to either of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to the address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the
other parties; and 
  

 173 








 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to
occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after

Section 10.02(c)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until actually received by such Person.
In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 
 (b) Effectiveness of
Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and
effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders. 
 (c) Reliance by Agents and
Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) 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 each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly 

  

 174 








 
given by or on behalf of the Borrowers in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be
recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 SECTION 10.03. 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. 
 SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Parent Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent
and the Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver,
consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all
Attorney Costs of Davis Polk & Wardwell and one local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the
affected parties)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt
by the Borrowers of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be
paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the
Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the 

  

 175 








 
Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees or advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the
Administrative Agent and Arrangers and one counsel to the other Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each such group and, in the event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected parties))
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any
Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such
Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless
set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Parent Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained
through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, 

  

 176 








 
indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 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. 
 SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any
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 such 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 of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any 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 applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of Holdings or the Borrowers may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, 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 Eligible Assignee,
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Sections 10.07(g) and 10.07(i), (iv) to an SPC in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) or (v) to a successor pursuant to a merger, consolidation or similar transaction (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 

  

 177 








 
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 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”)
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the
time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that either of the Borrowers shall have the right to withhold its consent if such Borrower would be required to obtain the
consent of, or make a filing or registration with, a Governmental Agency) of: 
 (A) the Borrowers, provided that no
consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrowers, Section 8.01(f) has occurred
and is continuing, any Assignee; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 
 (C) solely in the case of any assignment under the Revolving Credit Facility, each Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment, provided that no consent of any Principal L/C Issuer shall be required for
an assignment to an Agent or any Affiliate thereof; and 
 (D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Revolving Credit
Facility, the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and 

  

 178 








 
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $2,500,000 (in the case of the Revolving
Credit Facility) or (y) $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrowers, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any Assignment; 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 
 (D) the Assignee shall comply with Section 3.01(b) and 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(d), as applicable; and 
 (E) in the event of an assignment of a Term Commitment or a Term Loan of any Class, the assigning Term Lender shall assign to the Assignee
ratably equivalent portions of its Term Loans and Term Commitment of each Class of Term Loans and Term Commitments. 
 This paragraph
(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. 
 (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 

  

 179 








 
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note from a Borrower, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).

 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C
Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, 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 Borrowers, the Agents 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 any Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other
than a natural person) (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 (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; 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 10.01 (other than clause (g) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to 

  

 180 








 
the requirements of Section 3.01(b)) and 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(d), as applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a
Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. 
 (g) 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 Notes,
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. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the
option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and
(ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that
(i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under
Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the
approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a
processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
  

 181 








 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) any Lender may in accordance with
applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Notes, if any, held by it and (ii) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the
Notes, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance
with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (A) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (B) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a
Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or
the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Parent
Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). 
 SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use
or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates 

  

 182 








 
and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any
Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrowers; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority, examiner or self-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating
any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it
from such Lender); or (j) 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. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents
and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or its business, other
than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a
Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the
Borrowers (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its 

  

 183 








 
Subsidiaries) 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) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their
Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such
Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such
L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary
(i) is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings or (ii) is a Loan Party. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or
L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have. 
 SECTION 10.10. 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 any 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 an 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. 
 SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same 

  

 184 








 
instrument. Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission be confirmed by a
manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 
 SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the
parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter, except as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter dated as of December 3, 2007 among Parent Borrower, the
Arrangers and certain Affiliates of the Arrangers and the Fee Letter referred to therein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

 SECTION 10.13. 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, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation (other than obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and other contingent Obligations that are not accrued and payable) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit (other than any
Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or if a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer is in place) shall remain outstanding. 
 SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 10.15. GOVERNING LAW. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN). 
  

 185 








 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWERS, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWERS, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. 
 SECTION 10.16. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.16 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 SECTION 10.17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Borrowers, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer that each such Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer has executed it and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, Holdings, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns. 
  

 186 








 SECTION 10.18. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the
first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the
sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law). 
 SECTION 10.19. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for
any right or remedy against any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements or agreements governing Cash Management Obligations (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s
lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be withheld in contravention of Section 9.04(a)). The provision of this Section 10.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense
available to, any Loan Party. 
 SECTION 10.20. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, 

  

 187 








 
which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance
with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 SECTION 10.21. Agent for Service of Process. Each Borrower agrees that promptly following request by
the Administrative Agent it shall cause each Material Foreign Subsidiary or for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued to appoint and maintain an agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to receive service of process in New York
City on behalf of such Material Foreign Subsidiary.
