SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES AND GUARANTY; COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS. 

(a) The Issuers will authorize the issue and sale of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their 5.90% Guaranteed

 (b) Each Initial Guarantor has authorized (i) its joint and several,
and unconditional, guaranty of the payment and performance by the Issuers of their joint and several obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 15 hereof, and

the Collateral Documents subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuers will issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser will purchase

SECTION 3. CLOSING. 
 The

reason of any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction or such failure by the Issuers to tender such Notes.

Purchasers’ special counsel in connection with such transactions, covering such matters incident to such transactions as such Purchaser may reasonably request. 
 Section 4.5. Purchase Permitted By Applicable Law, Etc. On the date of the Closing such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each

requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business
in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 
 Section 5.2. Authorization,
Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Obligor’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational actions and, if required, actions by equity holders. The Financing Documents to which each
Obligor is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Obligor and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

Section 5.3. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or the assets of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to
the Financing Documents. 
 Section 5.4. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Obligors have heretofore furnished to the Purchasers copies of the financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.4. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for
such periods in accordance with GAAP. 
 (b) The Company has heretofore furnished to the Purchasers copies of the
projected financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.4. Such projections were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time delivered and, if such projected financial
information was delivered prior to the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, and the Company is not aware of any facts or information that would lead it to believe that such projections are incorrect or misleading in any material respect.

reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since December 28, 2012.

property that is owned or leased by each Obligor (and indicates whether any such real property constitutes an Excluded Asset). Each of such leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect,
and no default by any party to any such lease or sublease exists. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its real and personal property, free of all Liens other than those
permitted by Section 10.2. All such property is in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted.

infringements which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, except as set forth on Schedule 5.5, each Obligor’s rights thereto are not subject to any licensing
agreement or similar arrangement. Schedule 5.5 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all registered intellectual property owned by each Obligor as of the Effective Date. No slogan or other advertising device, product, process,
method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Obligor infringes upon or conflicts with any rights owned by any other Person, and no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending

Section 5.6. Litigation and Environmental Matters. 

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, the FDA) pending against or, to the knowledge of any Obligor, threatened against or affecting any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve the Financing Documents. 

(b) Except for the matters disclosed on Schedule 5.6, (i) no Obligor or any Subsidiary has received
notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Obligors in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) except with
respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be 

  
 7 








 
expected to result in liability to the Obligors in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, no Obligor nor any Subsidiary (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain,
maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability. 

(c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the matters disclosed on
Schedule 5.6 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.7. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing. 
 Section 5.8. Investment Company Status; Margin Stock. No Obligor or any Subsidiary is an
“investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Obligor or any Subsidiary is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of, and no proceeds of the sale of Notes

its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and other material reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Obligor or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, other
than Permitted Encumbrances. 
 Section 5.10. ERISA. 

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA
Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All minimum required contributions (within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code) have been timely made with
respect to each Plan. Each employee benefit pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) maintained or sponsored by an Obligor, or under which an Obligor has any liability, which is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code, has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such qualification, and, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no event or
condition exists which could reasonably be expected to jeopardize such qualified status. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Obligor has any obligation to provide post-retirement health care benefits
to any individual other than as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or other similar state law.

representation by the Obligors to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.10(b) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds to be
used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser. 
 Section 5.11. Disclosure. Each
Obligor has disclosed to the Purchasers all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Obligor to any Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other
Financing Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading in any material respect; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Obligors each represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date.

assets of each Obligor, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Obligor will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) each Obligor will be able to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) no Obligor will have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now

 (b) No Obligor intends to, or will permit
any Subsidiary to, and no Obligor believes that it or any Subsidiary will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the

(a) Liens permitted by Section 10.2 (other than Section 10.2(p)), to the extent any such Liens (to the extent permitted by Section 10.2) would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any
applicable law or agreement, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Collateral Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral, (c) Liens on
intellectual property perfected only by making filings with the applicable Governmental Authority to the extent such filings have not been made, (d) real estate, (e) assets subject to certificates of title, (f) letter-of-credit rights

Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except to the extent the failure to so comply with such acts and laws could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All
payments due from any Obligor or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Obligor or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on
the books of the Obligor or such Subsidiary.

event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any such permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or
accreditation, except that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect.

as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as
of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to
bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities
(1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the
applicable Note. 
 If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable
(including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.75% plus the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest
day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S.
Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied
yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so
reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called
Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called
Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the
scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means,
with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to
its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.6 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is
declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 Section 8.10.
Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.6 that the notice of any prepayment specify a Business Day as the date
fixed for such prepayment), (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of principal, interest or Make-Whole Amount on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the
additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal at maturity that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Obligors.

have the benefit of any such more advantageous terms and conditions and the Financing Documents shall be deemed automatically modified accordingly. Each Obligor agrees to execute and deliver to each holder of a Note any amendment documents or other
agreements requested by the Required Holders to evidence that the terms of the Financing Documents have been so modified. 

Section 9.12. Pari Passu Ranking.

 SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. 
 Section 12.1.
Acceleration. 
 (a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor described in Section 11(g) or
(h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has
occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If any
other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer Representative, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or
holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer Representative, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.


  
 44 









 Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically
or by declaration, such Notes will mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the
Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which
are hereby waived. The Issuers acknowledge, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuers (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the
provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuers in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
circumstances. 
 Section 12.2. Other Remedies. 

(a) If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become
or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate
proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any other Financing Document, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 (b) In addition to, and in no way limiting, the foregoing remedies,
but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Required Holders shall have the following remedies available, which remedies may be exercised at the same or different times as each other or as
the remedies set forth in Sections 12.1 or 12.2(a): 
 (i) exercise all other rights and remedies under any and
all of the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, directing the Collateral Agent to exercise its foreclosure rights under the Collateral Documents; 

(ii) may exercise all other rights and remedies it may have under any applicable law; and 

(iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the assets
and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or the solvency of any
party bound for its payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver. 

  
 45 









 Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer Representative, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuers have paid all overdue interest on the
Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuers nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all
Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the
payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder
of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by any Financing Document upon any holder thereof shall
be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Issuers under Section 16, the Issuers will pay to
the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such holder and the Collateral Agent incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

 46 









 
registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such
Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Issuers shall execute and deliver, at the Issuers’ expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1. Each such new Note shall be
dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Sections 6.1,
6.2 and 6.4.

the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional
Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 
 (a) in
the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer Representative (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth
of at least $100,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 
 within ten Business Days
thereafter, the Issuers at their own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date
of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 
 SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

 Section 14.1. Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction. The Issuers may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of

 47 









 Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall
be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Issuers will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts
becoming due hereunder by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or in accordance with such other instructions as such Purchaser shall have from time to time
specified to the Issuer Representative in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Issuers made concurrently with or reasonably
promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Issuer Representative at its principal executive office or at the place of
payment most recently designated by the Issuer Representative pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the
amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Issuers in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Issuers will afford the benefits of this
Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this
Section 14.2. 
 SECTION 15. GUARANTY.

prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’
fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the holders of Notes in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Issuer, any
Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations” (provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed
Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Obligor of (or grant of security interest by any Obligor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Obligor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Obligor).
Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All
terms of this Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any holder of a Note. 
 Section 15.2. Guaranty of Payment. This Guaranty is an guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right to require any holder of a Note to sue any Issuer, any
Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

 Section 15.3. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute
and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal,
settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Issuer or any other Obligated Party liable for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or
(iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any holder of a Note or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. 

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 
 (c) Further, the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification
of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Issuer for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any holder of a Note with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 

Section 15.4. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of any Issuer or any Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Issuer or any Guarantor, other
than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall
not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Collateral Agent may, at its election or the election of the Required Holders, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of 

  
 49 









 
the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to
it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or
remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security. 
 Section 15.5. Rights of Subrogation. No
Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification, that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Issuers and the Guarantors have
fully performed all their obligations to the holders of Notes. 
 Section 15.6. Reinstatement; Stay of
Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Issuer or otherwise, each Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the holders of Notes are in possession of this Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall
nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Required Holders. 
 Section 15.7.
Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations
and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that no holder of a Note shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or
risks. 
 Section 15.8. Term of Guarantee. This Guaranty and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of each
Guarantor contained in this Section 15 shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations under the Financing Documents shall be indefeasibly paid
in full in cash and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 15.6. 
 Section 15.9. Taxes. Each
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required
to withhold Taxes, then such Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are indemnified taxes, then the amount payable by
such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), each holder of Notes receives the amount it would have received had no such
withholding been made. 

  
 50 









 Section 15.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable,
and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this
Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the
amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or any holder of a Note, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest
amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the holders of Notes to the
maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of
any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty
or affecting the rights and remedies of the holders of Notes hereunder; provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

Section 15.11. Contribution. In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or
payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall
contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 15, each
Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such
Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the
aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Issuers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including
such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantor, the aggregate amount of
all monies received by such Guarantors from the Issuers after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right
of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of all of the holders of Notes and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.


  
 51 









 Section 15.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Guarantor under this
Section 15 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Guarantor to the holders of Notes under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which such Guarantor is a party or in respect of any obligations or
liabilities of the other Obligors, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 

Section 15.13. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each
Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 15.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 15.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty,
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 15.13 shall remain in full force and effect until a
discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Financing Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 15.13 constitute, and this
Section 15.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

SECTION 16. EXPENSES, ETC. 
 Section 16.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuers will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with
the preparation and administration of this Agreement, and the other Financing Documents or any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent
becomes effective) within 15 Business Days after the Issuer Representative’s receipt of any invoice therefor, including, without limitation: (a) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether
or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, including, without limitation, rights against or in respect of the Collateral, or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal
investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the reasonable costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection
with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Financing Documents, (c) the costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO provided, that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $5,000 and (d) the costs of any


  
 52 









 
environmental reports, reviews or Appraisals commissioned by the Required Holders as permitted hereunder. In the event that any such invoice is not paid within 15 Business Days after the Issuer
Representative’s receipt thereof, interest on the amount of such invoice shall be due and payable at the Default Rate commencing with the 16th Business Day after the Issuer Representative’s receipt thereof until such invoice has been paid.
The Issuers will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, (i) all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or
other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes) in connection with the purchase of the Notes and (ii) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank deducts from any payment under such Note to such holder or otherwise charges to a
holder of a Note with respect to a payment under such Note. 
 Section 16.2. Survival. The obligations of the
Issuers under this Section 16 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of any Financing Document, and the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 17. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 
 All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or
interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in
any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Obligors pursuant to any Financing Document shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Obligors under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Financing
Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 18. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 
 Section 18.1.
Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Obligors and the Required
Holders, except that: 
 (a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any
defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing; 
 (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the
amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the
principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 18 or 21; and 

  
 53 









 (c) other than in accordance with Section 9.10(e), no amendment or
waiver may, without the written consent of each holder of a Note affected thereby, release any material portion of the Collateral, except in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

Section 18.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Solicitation. The Issuers will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in
advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of any other Financing Document.
The Issuers will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 18 or any other Financing Document to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed
and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. 
 (b) Payment.
The Issuers will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as
consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any other Financing Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 18 or any other Financing
Document by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company (either pursuant to a waiver under Section 18.1(d) or subsequent to Section 8.6 having
been amended pursuant to Section 18.1(d)) in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have
been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

 Section 18.3. Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section 18 or any other Financing Document applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Issuers without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such
amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the
Obligors and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. 

  
 54 









 Section 18.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc. Solely for the purpose of
determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under any Financing Document, or have directed the taking
of any action provided thereunder to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall
be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 19. NOTICES. 
 Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 7.5, all notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a
confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by an internationally recognized
overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: 
 (i) if to any Purchaser or
its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Issuer Representative in writing, 

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the
Issuer Representative in writing, or 
 (iii) if to any Obligor, to the Issuer Representative at Chefs’
Warehouse, Inc., 100 East Ridge Road, Ridgefield, Connecticut 06877, Attention of Chris Pappas (Telephone No. (203) 894-1345, Ext. 10220, Telecopy No. (203) 894-9107 with copies to: Shearman & Sterling LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue,
New York, New York 10022-6069, Attention: JD DeSantis (Facsimile (646) 848-5085), or at such other address as the Issuer Representative shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing; provided that the failure to deliver a
copy to Shearman & Sterling LLP shall not affect the effectiveness of the delivery of such notice or other communication to the Obligors. 
 Notices under this Section 19 will be deemed given only when actually received. 
 SECTION
20. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. 
 This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation,
(a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously
or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The


  
 55 









 
Obligors agree and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative
proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be
admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit the Obligors or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the
inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 
 SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or
on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to the Financing Documents that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified
when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such
disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the
Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in
accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such
Confidential Information confidential (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold
confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any
participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person
has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each
case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a
party, or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and
remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed 

  
 56 









 
to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Issuer Representative in
connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will
enter into an agreement with the Issuers embodying this Section 21. 
 In the event that as a condition to receiving access
to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to any Financing Document, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking
(whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the
Company, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking. 
 SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

 Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other
Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Issuer Representative, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and
such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in
Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such substitution shall release such original Purchaser from its obligations hereunder until the Issuer Representative’s receipt in full of the purchase price for the Notes. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so
substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Issuer Representative of notice of such transfer, any
reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original
Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 23. INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER.

 (a) Each Obligor shall indemnify each Purchaser, each holder from time to time of a Note, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: 

(i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; 

  
 57 









 (ii) any Note or the use of the proceeds therefrom; 

(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or 
 (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto; 
 provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In addition, the
indemnification set forth in this Section 23 in favor of any Related Party shall be solely in their respective capacities as a director, officer, agent or employee, as the case may be. 

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against
any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 24.
MISCELLANEOUS. 
 Section 24.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in
this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 

Section 24.2. Accounting Terms; GAAP Pro Forma Calculations.  

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if after the Effective Date there occurs any change in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of any provision hereof and the Issuer Representative notifies the
holders that the Issuers request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of such change in GAAP or in the application thereof (or if the Required Holders notify the Issuer Representative that the Required Holders request an
amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and
applied 

  
 58 









 
immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards
Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Holdings or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as
defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting
Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. 

(b) All pro forma computations required to be made hereunder giving effect to any acquisition or disposition, or issuance,
incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness, or other transaction shall in each case be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro forma computation made hereunder to determine whether such acquisition or disposition, or
issuance, incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness, or other transaction is permitted to be consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period covered by any component of such pro forma computation and
on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of the period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending with the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered
pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, ending with the last Fiscal Quarter included in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.04(a)), and, to the extent applicable, to
the historical earnings and cash flows associated with the assets acquired or disposed of (but without giving effect to any synergies or cost savings, other than those in connection with any acquisition that (i) are reasonably acceptable to the
Required Holders and (ii) the Issuers reasonably determine in good faith will be actually and fully realized as of the date of consummation of such acquisition) and any related incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness, all in accordance with
Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). 
 Section 24.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 59 









 Section 24.4. Construction, etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be
construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any
other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

Section 24.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

Section 24.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the
parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice of law principles that would permit the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. 
 Section 24.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) Each Obligor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to
the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (b) Each Obligor consents to process being served by or
on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section 24.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Obligor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in
every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.
Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 

(c) Nothing in this Section 24.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner
permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against any Obligor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in
any other jurisdiction. 

  
 60 









 (d) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on
or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the holders may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders
of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.
