 ARTICLE II 

 THE CREDIT FACILITIES 
 Section 2.01 Commitments to Lend. 
 (a) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (b) Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date
in a principal amount not exceeding its Commitment. The Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. The Commitments are not revolving in nature, and amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the Maturity
Date may not be reborrowed. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all Loans shall be made at 98.04 percent
(98.04%) of the initial principal amount thereof (the “Relevant Percentage” of the initial principal amount), but, for the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of this Agreement, the initial principal amount of any such Loan
shall be equal to 100 percent of such principal amount. The making of any Loan at the Relevant Percentage of its initial 

  

 44 








 
principal amount shall satisfy an amount of the commitment equal to the full initial principal amount of that Loan. A subsequent increase in the principal
amount of a Loan, pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or otherwise, shall not affect the amount of the Commitments satisfied by the making of that Loan, or the amount of the remaining Commitments. 
 Section 2.02 Notice of Borrowings. 
 (a) Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing not later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be a single drawing on the Closing Date, specifying:

 (i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; and 
 (iii) the location (which must be in the United States) and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed,
which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03. 
 Section 2.03 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans. 

 (a) Notice to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of the Borrowing referred to therein, and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. 
 (b) Funding of Loans. (i) Not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall
make the funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts received from the Lenders in like
funds, without interest. 
 (c) Funding by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding 

  

 45 








 
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06. If the 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 the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the 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 the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed
to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice of the Administrative Agent to a Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Failed Loans. If any Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Lender is otherwise obligated
hereunder to make to the Borrower on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied,
then, until such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (d)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any
condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Lender, (i) the
amount so received (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the
Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) and (iii) the Administrative Agent will disburse
such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the
amount of the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein
unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any Law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.04 Evidence of Loans. 
 (a) Lender and Administrative Agent Accounts; Notes. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, 

  

 46 








 
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Second Lien Credit Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a single Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B,
payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loans, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender having one or more Notes shall record the date, amount and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer
or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the
failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by
the Borrower so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. 
 Section 2.05 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 2.06 Interest. 
 (a) [Intentionally Omitted].  
 (b) Rates Applicable to Loans. Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate of 15% per annum compounding quarterly.

 (c) Additional Interest. (x) immediately upon an Event of Default, all Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate
and (y) if any Second Lien Credit Obligation is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default
Rate, in each case, until such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (d) Interest Payments. Except as set forth in subsection (e) of this Section 2.06, interest on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at maturity, and at
such other times as may be specified herein; provided, that on each Interest Payment Date after the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date, accrued interest expense will be payable in kind (“PIK Interest”). On any
Interest Payment Date occurring after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, at the election of the Borrower, accrued interest expense will be payable either (A) in cash or (B) PIK Interest so long as the First Lien Leverage Ratio is
equal or lesser than 2.75:1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such payment and if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.75:1.00 the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to pay accrued interest in kind. PIK Interest payable to each
Lender shall 

  

 47 








 
be added to the principal amount of the Loan of such Lender in arrears on such Interest Payment Date and such increased principal amount of the Loan shall
thereafter bear interest at the rate then accruing on the principal amount of the Loan as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 2.06 and shall thereafter be treated in all respects as outstanding principal of the Loan. Accrued PIK
Interest on the Loans shall be payable in cash on the date the principal of the Loans becomes due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date of the Loan, or upon earlier prepayment, acceleration or otherwise. The Administrative Agent’s
determination of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. 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 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (e) AHYDO Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at the end of any accrual period (as defined in Code
§1272(a)(5)) ending after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid original issue discount (as defined in Code Section 1273(a)(1)) on the Loans would, but for this paragraph, exceed an amount
equal to the product of the Loan’s issue price (as defined in Code Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) multiplied by the yield to maturity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) (the “Maximum Accrual”), all
accrued and unpaid interest, including PIK Interest, and original issue discount on the Term Loan as of the end of such accrual period in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual shall be paid in cash by Borrower to the Lender (the
“AHYDO Interest Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.6(e) shall be construed so as to cause the Loans to not be treated as having been issued with “significant original issue discount” within the meaning of
IRC Section 163(i)(2). 
 Section 2.07 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 2.08 Maturity of Loans. 
 (a) Maturity of Revolving Loans. Loans shall mature on the Maturity Date and any Second Lien Credit Obligation (together with accrued interest thereon and fees in respect thereof) shall be due an payable on such date.

specified in a notice to the Administrative Agent no later than three days prior to the applicable Repayment Date, by payment of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such Repayment Date (or portion thereof), together with the accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and fees (if any) plus the Make Whole Amount; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each
payment pursuant to this Section shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.09(e). 
 (b) [Intentionally Omitted].

  

 48

 (i) Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans
in an amount, specified in a notice to the Administrative Agent no later than three days prior to the Repayment Date, which shall be equal to the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such Repayment Date, together with the accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and fees (if any) plus the Make Whole Amount. 
 (ii) Excess Cash Flow. At all times after the
Discharge of First Lien Finance Obligations, within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) 75% of
Excess Cash Flow for such prior fiscal year minus (B) to the extent not deducted under clause (vi)(C) of the definition of “Excess Cash Flow” in the computation of Excess Cash Flow for such prior fiscal year, the
aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments during such prior fiscal year of principal of the Loans.

value in the ordinary course of business, Casualty or Condemnation (excluding, in the case of any Casualty or Condemnation, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards to the extent and so long as they constitute Reinvestment Funds)), the Borrower
shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation; provided, that no such prepayment caused by the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition
shall be required to the extent that the sum of such Net Cash Proceeds and all other Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions occurring after the Closing Date and during the same fiscal year does not exceed $1,000,000 (it being understood that a
prepayment shall only be required of such excess). 
 (iv) Debt Issuances. At all times after the Discharge of
First Lien Finance Obligations, within five Business Days after receipt by any Group Company of Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Issuance (other than any Debt Issuance permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement), the Borrower

 (v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall be applied to the repayment of the Loans and shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the date of prepayment on the amount paid. 
  

 49 








 (vi) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (vii) [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 (viii) Payments Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.09 and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, payments required under any subsection or clause of
this Section 2.09 are in addition to payments made or required under any other subsection or clause of this Section 2.09.

or occurrence requiring a prepayment under Section 2.09(c)(iii) or (iv), including the amount of Net Cash Proceeds expected to be received therefrom and the expected schedule for receiving such proceeds; provided, however, that in the case of
any prepayment event consisting of a Casualty or Condemnation, the Borrower shall give such notice within five Business Days after the occurrence of such event. 
 (e) Notices of Prepayments. Other than as specified in (d) above, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M. on the day of prepayment of the Loans. Each notice of prepayment
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro-rata share, if any, thereof. Once
such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable as specified therein. 
 Section 2.10 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 2.11 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders 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. 
 Section 2.12 Pro-rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided
herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account), shall be allocated pro-rata among the relevant
Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentages of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of such Lenders); provided
that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
  

 50 








 Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro-rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value)
participation in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing thereon; provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the
extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 2.14 Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
 (a) Payments by the Borrower. All payments to be made by the
Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans and fees hereunder shall be paid not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Dollars
and in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the Borrower. Payments received after 3:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day, and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 3:00 P.M.; otherwise
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payment to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be). If the date for any payment of principal is extended
by operation of Law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 
  

 51 








 (b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice (which may be by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing) from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each
of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of
the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender without interest. 
 (d)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of the Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the date of the 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 such date of Borrowing.

 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (f) Computations. All computations of interest for Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the
day on which 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
subsection (a) above, 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. 
  

 52 








 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 Section 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other
Taxes) from such payments, then (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) the Administrative Agent or Lender,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the
Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority; provided that if Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to
obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it;
provided, further, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) for any amounts incurred more than twelve months prior to the date such Lender or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor, but if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect
(e.g., in connection with the audit of a prior tax year), then such twelve-month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan 

  

 53 








 
Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment,
a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e)
Status of Lenders. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or time prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in
the United States, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party; 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code,
(A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (f) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Foreign Lender determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or
treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate 

  

 54 








 
previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of such fact and the Foreign Lender will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any indemnities, Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section with respect to the indemnities, Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or
any other Person. 
 Section 3.02 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 3.03 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 3.04 Increased Costs and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any
Change in Law (except for such changes with respect to taxes which are governed by Section 3.01) shall: 
 (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (or its Lending
Office); 
 (ii) subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement
or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01(c) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); 
 (iii) impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending
Office) of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or 

  

 55 








 
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such
Lender as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law (except for such changes with respect to taxes which are governed by Section 3.01) affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand
such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that
such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 Section 3.05 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 3.06 [Intentionally Omitted].

 Section 3.07 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to 

  

 56 








 
Section 3.01 in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
 Section 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Second Lien Credit Obligations hereunder.

assessment, charge, levy, claim or Indebtedness (A) which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (B) the failure to make any such
payment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as a result of or in connection with a dissolution, merger or disposition of a Subsidiary of the Borrower permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, each Group Company will: (i) preserve, renew and maintain in full force and
effect its legal existence and good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary in the normal conduct of its
business, except in the case of clause (i) or (ii) to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) preserve or renew all of its registered patents, trademarks, trade
names and service marks, the non-preservation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 6.06 Maintenance of Properties. Each Group Company will: (i) maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear and Casualty and Condemnation excepted; and (ii) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 Section 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance; Certain Proceeds.

compensation insurance, liability insurance, casualty insurance and business interruption insurance) in such amounts, covering 

  

 73 








 
such risk and liabilities and with such deductibles or self-insurance retentions as are prudent in the good faith judgment of the officers of the Borrower.
The Collateral Agent shall be named as loss payees or mortgagees, as its interest may appear, with respect to all such property and casualty policies and additional insured with respect to all business interruption or liability policies (other than
worker’s compensation, director and officer liability or other policies in which such endorsements are not customary), in each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each provider of any such insurance shall agree, by
endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to the Collateral Agent, that if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent of the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall at all time after the Discharge of First Lien Finance Obligations or to the extent and in the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds not applied to prepay the First Lien Credit Obligations, pay all
proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent and that it will give the Collateral Agent 10 days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall
be altered or canceled, and that no act or default of any Group Company or any other Person shall affect the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders under such policy or policies. 
 (b) Loss Events. In case of any Casualty or Condemnation with respect to any property of any Group Company or any part thereof having a
fair market value in excess of the Threshold Amount, the Borrower shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent generally describing the nature and extent of such damage, destruction or taking. 
 Section 6.08 Compliance with Laws. Each of the Group Companies will comply with all requirements of Law applicable to it and its
properties to the extent that noncompliance with any such requirement of Law would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Group Companies will do each of the following
as it relates to any Plan maintained by, or Multiemployer Plan contributed to by, each of the Group Companies, Foreign Pension Plan or Employee Benefit Arrangement except to the extent that any failure to comply with clauses (i) through
(v) below would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) maintain each Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), Foreign Pension Plan and Employee Benefit Arrangement in compliance in all respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or other Federal, state or foreign Law; (ii) cause each Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to maintain such qualifications; (iii) make all
required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code and make all required contributions to Multiemployer Plans; (iv) ensure that there are no Unfunded Liabilities in excess of the Threshold Amount unless the aggregate
amount of such Unfunded Liabilities is reduced below the Threshold Amount within a 30-day period; and (v) make all contributions (including any special payments to amortize any Unfunded Liabilities) required to be made in accordance with all
applicable laws and the terms of each Foreign Pension Plan in a timely manner. 
 Section 6.09 Books and Records. Each of
the Group Companies will keep books and records of its transactions that are complete and accurate in all material respects in accordance with GAAP (including the establishment and maintenance of appropriate reserves). 
  

 74 








 Section 6.10 Inspection Rights. Each of the Group Companies will (but, if no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not more often than once per fiscal year at the Borrower’s expense) permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent to visit and inspect any of its
properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (and each Loan
Party hereby authorizes, and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Group Company which is not a Loan Party to authorize, such independent accountants to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with the Administrative Agent or
any representative or independent contractor thereof; provided that a representative of such or any other Loan Party has been given the opportunity to be present), all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be
reasonably desired, upon two (2) Business Days’ advance notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that when an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the
foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice. 
 Section 6.11 Use
of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely for the purposes set forth in Section 5.18. 
 Section 6.12 Additional Loan Parties; Additional Security. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement: 
 (a) Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. The Borrower will take, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Foreign Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries) to take, such actions from time to time as shall be
necessary to ensure that all Subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than such Foreign Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries) are Subsidiary Guarantors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Group Company shall form or acquire
any new Subsidiary, the Borrower, as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days after such formation or acquisition, will provide the Collateral Agent with notice of such formation or acquisition setting forth in reasonable detail a
description of all of the assets of such new Subsidiary and will cause such new Subsidiary (other than any such Foreign Subsidiary) to: 
 (i) within 30 days after such formation or acquisition, execute an Accession Agreement pursuant to which such new Subsidiary shall agree to become a “Guarantor” under the Subsidiary Guaranty, an
“Obligor” under the Security Agreement and an “Obligor” under the Pledge Agreement and/or an obligor under such other Collateral Documents as may be applicable to such new Subsidiary; 
 (ii) deliver such proof of organizational authority, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with
those delivered by each Loan Party pursuant to Section 4.01 on the Closing Date or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have reasonably requested; and 
 (iii) prior to the Discharge of First Lien Finance Obligations, the covenants made in this Section 6.12(a) to deliver possession of
any Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent. 
  

 75 








 (b) Additional Security. The Borrower will cause, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
(other than Foreign Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries) to cause, all of its owned Real Properties with a fair market value in excess of $2,000,000 hereafter acquired and all or substantially all personal property located in the United
States to be subject at all times to perfected (the priority of which is set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement) and, in the case of owned Real Property, title insured Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent (subject to the Liens in favor of the
First Lien Administrative Agent and the other Permitted Liens) pursuant to the Collateral Documents or such other security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages or similar collateral documents as the Collateral Agent shall request in its sole
reasonable discretion (collectively, the “Additional Collateral Documents”). With respect to any owned Real Property having a fair market value in excess of $2,000,000 acquired by any Loan Party subsequent to the Closing Date, such
Person will cause to be delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Real Property mortgages, deeds of trust or other appropriate
instruments under applicable law sufficient to create a mortgage, deed of trust or similar Lien of record on such Real Property (subject to the Liens in favor of the First Lien Administrative Agent and the other Permitted Liens) and including
landlords’ consents and estoppels, ALTA or other appropriate forms of mortgagee title insurance policies, maps or plats of survey, flood insurance certificates and other instruments, certificates and documents, as are in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. In furtherance of the foregoing terms of this Section 6.12, the Borrower agrees to promptly provide the Administrative Agent with written notice of the acquisition by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than Foreign Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries) of any owned Real Property having a market value greater than $2,000,000, setting forth in each case in reasonable detail the location and a description of the
asset(s) so acquired. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will cause, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries that is or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor to cause, 100% of the Equity Interests of each of their respective
direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiaries of Foreign Subsidiaries or (x) 65% of such Equity Interests, if such Subsidiary is a direct Foreign Subsidiary, or (y) to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any
Organization Document or other agreement governing a Permitted Joint Venture, such percentage as is equal to their respective ratable ownership of all Equity Interests in Permitted Joint Ventures and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) to be subject at
all times to a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, subject only to the Liens in favor of the First Lien Administrative Agent and Permitted Liens described in Section 7.02(iii) or (iv). 
 If, subsequent to the Closing Date, a Loan Party shall acquire any material patents, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, registered
trade names, copyright registrations or any applications related to the foregoing, securities, instruments, chattel paper or other personal property required to be delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent (as bailee for the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) as Collateral hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents, the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent of the same no later than the end of the fiscal quarter of Holdings during which
any such acquisitions take place, provided that if any such acquisition is accomplished by means of a Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after any Responsible Officer of any Loan
Party acquires knowledge of the same) notify the Collateral Agent of the same. 
  

 76 








 All such security interests and mortgages shall be granted pursuant to documentation consistent with the
Collateral Documents executed at Closing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected security interests and mortgages (the priority of which is set forth in
the Intercreditor Agreement) and subject to no other Liens except for Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent and Permitted Liens. The Additional Collateral Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such
manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Collateral Documents, and all taxes, fees and other charges
payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full. The Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent to assure itself that this Section 6.12(b) has been complied with. Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Finance Obligations, the covenants made in this Section 6.12(b) to deliver any Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed satisfied by the delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Real Property Appraisals. If the
Collateral Agent determines that it or the Lenders are required by Law or regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real Property of any Group Company constituting Collateral, the Borrower shall provide to the Collateral Agent
appraisals which satisfy the applicable requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34—Subpart C or any successor or similar statute, rule, regulation, guideline or order, and which shall be in scope, form and substance, and from appraisers,
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders and shall be accompanied by a certification of the appraisal firm providing such appraisals that the appraisals comply with such requirements. 
 (d) Completion of Actions. The Borrower agrees that each action required by this Section 6.12 shall be completed no later than
90 days (or such later date as determined by the Administrative Agent) after such action is either requested to be taken by the Collateral Agent or required to be taken by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this
Section 6.12. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any assets acquired subsequent to the Closing whose relative value to the Lenders
does not justify the cost and/or effort required to obtain security interests in such assets, as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent (in consultation with the Borrower), shall not be subject to the requirements hereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in no event shall any Loan Party be required to (a) deliver control, lockbox or similar type agreements with respect to any deposit account or
(b) leasehold mortgages, estoppels, consents or landlord waivers with respect to any retail establishment. 
 Section 6.13
[Intentionally Omitted].

 Section 6.14 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Holdings may, at any
time, designate any Subsidiary of Holdings that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that Holdings shall only be permitted to so designate a
new Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date and so long as (a) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (b) such Subsidiary does not own any capital stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold a Lien on any
property of, Holdings or any other Subsidiary that is not a subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated, (c) such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be capitalized (to the extent capitalized by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) through
Investments (and calculated based on the fair market value of such Investment) permitted by, and in compliance with, clauses (xv) and (xxv) under Section 7.06(a), with any assets owned by such Unrestricted
Subsidiary at the time of the initial designation thereof to be treated as Investments pursuant to clauses (xv) and (xxv) under Section 7.06(a); provided that at the time of the initial Investment by Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary, Holdings shall designate such entity as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. Holdings may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Subsidiary for purposes of
this Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Redesignation”); provided that (i) such Unrestricted Subsidiary, both before and after giving effect to such designation, shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings, (ii) no Default or
Event of Default then exists or would occur as a consequence of any such Subsidiary Redesignation, (iii) calculations are made by Holdings of compliance on a Pro-Forma Basis with the covenant set forth in Section 7.16 for the
relevant period, as if the respective Subsidiary Redesignation (as well as all other Subsidiary Redesignations theretofore consummated after the first day of such period) had occurred on the first day of such period, and such calculations shall show
that such covenant set forth in Section 7.16 would have been complied with if the Subsidiary Redesignation had occurred on the first day of such period (for this purpose, if the first day of the respective period occurs prior to the
Closing Date, calculated as if the covenant set forth in Section 7.16 had been applicable from the first day of such period), (iv) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and
correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Subsidiary Redesignation (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a
specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (v) Holdings shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate
executed by a Responsible Officer, certifying to the best of such officer’s knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the
preceding clause (iii), and (vi) any Unrestricted Subsidiary subject to a Subsidiary Redesignation may not thereafter be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

 (c)
Covenants. Any Loan Party shall: 
 (i) default in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or
agreement contained in Sections 6.10, 6.11, 6.12 or Article VII; and, in the case of any Event of Default that otherwise would arise under Section 7.16 and with respect to which the Borrower has delivered a
Notice of Intent to Cure, such default is not cured as contemplated by the second sentence of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” within 15 Business Days following delivery of such Notice of Intent to Cure; 
 (ii) default in the due performance or observance by it of any term, covenant or agreement contained in Article VI (other than
those referred to in subsection (a) or (c)(i) of this Section 8.01) and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party becoming aware of such
default or notice thereof given by the Administrative Agent; or 
 (iii) default in the due performance or observance by it of
any term, covenant or agreement (other than those referred to in subsection (a) or (c)(i) or (ii) of this Section 8.01) contained in this Agreement and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of

Party becoming aware of such default or notice thereof given by the Administrative Agent, (ii) except pursuant to the terms thereof, any Loan Document shall fail in any material respect to be in full force and effect or any Loan Party shall so
assert or (iii) except pursuant to the terms thereof, any Loan Document shall fail in any material respect to give the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders the security interests, liens, rights, powers and privileges

Obligation (or any portion thereof) prior to the stated maturity thereof; or (ii) there occurs under any Swap Agreement or Swap Obligation an Early Termination Date (as defined in such Swap Agreement) resulting from (A) any event of
default under such Swap Agreement as to which any Group Company is the Defaulting Party (as defined in such Swap Agreement) or (B) any Termination Event (as so defined) as to which any Group Company is an Affected Party (as so defined), and, in
either event, the Swap Termination Value owed by a Group Company as a result thereof is greater than the Threshold Amount and such Group Company fails to pay such Swap Termination Value when due after applicable grace periods; provided that a
default, event or condition described in this Section in respect of the First Lien Loan Documents shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default other than (a) any breach of Section 8.01(a) of the First Lien Credit Agreement at the
date of final maturity of such First Lien Credit Obligations or (b) any default, event or condition resulting in the declaration of all or any portion of such Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, which in each case, shall constitute

 103

a creditworthy third party as to which the insurer or indemnitor, as applicable, does not dispute coverage), as to any single or related series of transactions, incidents or conditions, in excess of the Threshold Amount, and the same shall not have
been discharged, vacated or stayed pending appeal within 30 days after the entry thereof.

Foreign Pension Plan has not been made; (v) any event has occurred or condition exists with respect to any Foreign Pension Plan that has resulted or could result in any Foreign Pension Plan being ordered or required to be wound up in whole or

and which, with respect to all the events and obligations described in the preceding clauses (iii) through (viii) of this Section 8.01(h), would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (i) Guaranties. Any Guaranty given by any Loan Party or any provision thereof shall, except pursuant to the terms thereof,
cease to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor thereunder or any Person acting by or on behalf of such Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm such Guarantor’s obligations under such Guaranty.

asserted by any Group Company not to be, a valid, perfected Lien (except as otherwise expressly provided in such Collateral Document and the Intercreditor Agreement) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, other than in respect of
assets and properties which, individually and in the aggregate, are not material to the Group Companies taken as a whole or in respect of which the failure of the security interests in 

  

 104 








 
respect thereof to be valid, perfected first priority security interests will not in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent have a Material Adverse
Effect on the rights and benefits of the Lenders under the Loan Documents taken as a whole. 
 Section 8.02 Acceleration;
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter unless and until such Event of Default has been cured by the Borrower or waived in writing by the Required Lenders (or the

terminated. 
 (b) Acceleration of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans and
any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind (other than contingent indemnification obligations) owing by a Loan Party to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Loan Parties. 
 (c) [Intentionally
Omitted]. 
 (d) Enforcement of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of setoff.

instructions of the Required Lenders, and, with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent, and that no other Finance Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce any Loan Document or to realize upon the security to be granted
hereby. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(f) shall occur with respect to the
Borrower or any “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X), then the Commitments shall automatically terminate, all Loans, all accrued interest in respect thereof and all accrued and unpaid fees and
other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable in each case without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
which notice or other action is expressly waived by the Loan Parties.

Default.

any and all payments in respect of its Second Lien Credit

provisions of Sections 2.09(c) and 2.14, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable all amounts collected or received on
account of any Second Lien Credit Obligation shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

counsel for the Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and any other obligations owing to the Collateral Agent in respect of sums advanced by the Collateral
Agent to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral; 
 THIRD, to the payment of all of the Second Lien
Credit Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest; 
 FOURTH, except as set forth in clauses FIRST through FOURTH
above, to the payment of the outstanding Second Lien Credit Obligations and Swap Obligations owing to any Loan Party, pro-rata, in proportion to the respective amounts held by them;

for any Swap Creditor and the Finance Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Second Lien Credit Obligations and Swap Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders or the Swap Creditors, as
the case may be.

discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or
that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and 
 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the

 107 








 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is

orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the prior to the making
of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with

and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders
and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any 

  

 108 








 
such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be (i) a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and (ii) a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States having combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of not less than
$500,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a
successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue
to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Agents listed on the cover page hereof
shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
  

 109 








 Section 9.09 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 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans
and all other Second Lien Credit 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 2.09 and 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (ii) 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 the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 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 Second Lien Credit 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 9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the
Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater or lesser proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise
by the Collateral Agent or Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or lesser proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding
upon all of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: 
 (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon Discharge of
Second Lien Credit Obligations, (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders; 
  

 110 








 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent or either Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.02; and 
 (iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 
 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 9.10.

counsel). 
 (b) Indemnification. The Borrower and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all (subject to
clause (d) below) actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, of local and special counsel engaged behalf of the Administrative
Agent, and of one financial advisor for all Indemnitees), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of

Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and 

  

 115 








 
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a Related Party thereof or
(y) result from a claim brought by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and provided further that Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one firm of outside counsel (in addition to any reasonably necessary special counsel and up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all
Indemnitees unless, in the written opinion of outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict
of interest. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Holdings or the Borrower for any reason fails indefeasibly to
pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it or them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of
such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to
the provisions of Section 2.14(d). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, Holdings and the Borrower agree not to assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, and each of the Lenders agrees not to assert or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to assert any claim against Holdings, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents or advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than [ten Business Days] after demand therefor.

other Second Lien Credit Obligations. 
  

 116 








 Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, then (i) 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 (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from
or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause
(ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Second Lien Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder

of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time
owing to it); provided, however, that: 
 (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans of the, as the case may be, owing to it, (A) the aggregate amount of any Loans of an assigning Lender subject to each such assignments, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default 

  

 117 








 
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as
a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 
 (ii) each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders’ rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 
 (iii) (a) any assignment of a Loan must be approved by the Administrative Agent and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which shall not be required if the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Loan or an Affiliate of such Lender; and 
 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that (a) no such fee shall be payable for assignments to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assigning Lender and (b) the Administrative Agent may,
in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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 be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 10.04 and 10.18 with respect
to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no assignment of a Term Commitment or a Term Loan to a Competitor. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and 

  

 118 








 
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 each of the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at
any time that a request for a consent for a material or other substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy
of the Register. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of
each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such
Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no participation of a Commitment or Loan to a
Competitor. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 relating to (a) increases in Commitments of such Participant, (b) reductions of principal, interest (other than a
waiver of Default Rate of interest) or fees payable to such Participant, (c) extensions of final maturity or scheduled amortization of the Loans or Commitments in which such Participant participates and (d) releases of all or substantially
all of the value of the Guarantees, or all or substantially all of the Collateral. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of
Sections 3.01, and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
  

 119 








 (e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent or the right to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the participant becomes a Participant. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to it and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (in which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior to such disclosure, in any case including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party hereto; (v) 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, (vi) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (in each case other than a
Competitor), (B) any pledgee referred to in Section 10.06(f) or (C) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (other than a Competitor),
(vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
  

 120 








 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent and any Lender may place
advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of the Loan Parties, or any of them, and the amount, type and closing date of such transactions, all at their sole expense.

 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning Holdings, the Borrower or one or more Subsidiaries, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency but in any event excluding Exempt Deposit Accounts) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender
to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to
such Lender, to the extent then due and owing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an
amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
the Administrative Agent or a Lender 

  

 121 








 
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of
the Second Lien Credit Obligations hereunder. 
 Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed
by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
 Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any
Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge of Second Lien Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations. 
 Section 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any
Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.01 or any other provision of any Loan Document requires the consent of all of the Lenders and with respect to which
the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) to remove such Lender by terminating such Lender’s
Commitment in full or (ii) to replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to 

  

 122 








 
the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b); 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 (iii) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and 
 (v) (A) if the Borrower
elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that have similar requests then
outstanding for compensation pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.01 and (B) in the case of any replacement of Lenders under the circumstances described in clause (iv) above, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge
or termination that the Borrower has requested shall become effective upon giving effect to such replacement (and any related Assignment and Assumptions required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this
Section 10.13). 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Patriot Act it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each
Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Loan Party in accordance with the U.S. Patriot Act. 
 (b) Lenders’ Certification. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United
States or a State thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the U.S. Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an Affiliate of a depository institution or foreign
bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking regulatory authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the certification or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the U.S. Patriot Act and the applicable regulations
thereunder: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date or, if later, the date such Lender, assignee or participant of a Lender becomes a Lender, assignee or participant of a Lender hereunder and (ii) at such other times as are required
under the U.S. Patriot Act. 
 Section 10.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and Holdings each acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other
services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, Holdings and their respective
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, and each of the Borrower and Holdings is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent is and has been
acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) the Administrative Agent has
not assumed nor will not assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or Holdings with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, 

  

 125 








 
Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to the Borrower, Holdings or any of their
respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a
broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency
or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or
other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Borrower and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Borrower and Holdings hereby
waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty. 
 Section 10.18 Judgment Currency. 
 (a) The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery
pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a Finance Party of the full amount of the Obligation
Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or another Loan Document. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any
currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by
the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). 
 (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be
paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date. 
 (c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 10.18, such
amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

 126 








 
pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
