 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive 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 Insolvency Proceeding. 
 Section 2.05. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The Initial Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. The Other
Commitments of any Class or Series shall automatically terminate upon the conversion or refinancing, as the case may be, of all or a portion of the relevant Loans as provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment. 

Section 2.06. Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Loan initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Funding Notice and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Funding Notice.
Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loan to a different Type or to continue such Loan and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. The Borrower on their
behalf may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Loan, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Loan, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than five (5) Eurodollar Loans outstanding
hereunder at any one time. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06, the Borrower shall deliver a
Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to an ABR Loan) and at least
three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Loan) (the “Conversion/Continuation Notice”). Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Loans shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or
continuation in accordance therewith. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the
applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be an ABR Loan. 
 If any such
Conversion/Continuation Notice requests a Eurodollar Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

  
 -50-









 (c) Promptly following receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Loan. 
 (d) If a
Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to a Eurodollar Loan is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Loan is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Loan
shall be converted to an ABR Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrower, that (i) no
outstanding Loan may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Section 2.07. Amortization of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders with Initial Loans, on each Quarterly Payment Date following the Closing Date, or if any such date is not a Business
Day, on the immediately following Business Day, a principal amount of the Initial Loans equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of such Initial Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.08). The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders with outstanding Other Loans, the amortization amounts and on the dates set forth in the relevant Refinancing Amendment (each such date, together with each such date on which
principal of Initial Loans is required to be repaid as provided above in this clause (a), a “Repayment Date”); provided that any payment under this Section 2.07(a) shall be reduced as a result of the application
of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.07(b) and 2.08(f) and by the amount of Loans purchased by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and cancelled in accordance with
Section 10.04(j)(v). 
 (b) To the extent not previously irrevocably paid in full in cash, each Class of Loans shall
be due and payable on the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. 

Section 2.08. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan, in whole or in
part without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.08; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $250,000. 

(b) IPO. Within ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Qualifying IPO, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000. 

  
 -51-









 (c) Asset Sales. Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of
Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.08(f); provided that: 

(i) so long as no Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date
to the extent that the Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are reasonably expected to be reinvested in assets of any Loan Party used or
useful in the operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries within 365 days following the receipt of such proceeds (which Officer’s Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), which time frame may be
extended to 545 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds if the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Borrower shall have entered into a binding agreement within such original 365-day time frame to make such
reinvestment and such reinvestment shall not be complete within the original 365-day time frame; provided that, if the property subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, then all property purchased or otherwise acquired with the Net
Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the perfected Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other
Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 5.11 and 5.12; 
 (ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds is not so reinvested within such 365-day period (or, if applicable, 545-day period), such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as otherwise provided in this Section 2.08(c);
and 
 (iii) if at any time that any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) would be required, the Borrower is
required to offer to repurchase or prepay Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt (or any Refinancing Indebtedness that is secured on a pro rata basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness
with the net proceeds of such Disposition (such Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt or such Refinancing Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased or prepaid, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower
may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time) to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase or
prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be reduced accordingly. 

(d) Debt Issuance. (i) Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt
Issuance (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof) by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.08(f) in an aggregate
principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (i) Not later than one (1) Business Day following the
issuance or incurrence of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than solely by means of extending or renewing then existing Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness without 

  
 -52-









 
resulting in any Net Cash Proceeds), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness; provided that each prepayment of Loans required by this clause (ii) shall be applied (A) first, to the Initial Loans, (B) next, to the Class or Classes of Loans with the earliest Maturity Date
(ratably among such Classes, if multiple Classes exist with the same Maturity Date), until all such Loans, as applicable, of such Class or Classes have been repaid or terminated in full and (C) thereafter, to the successive Class or Classes of
Loans with the then next earliest Maturity Date (ratably among such Classes, if multiple Classes exist with the same Maturity Date), and so on, until 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness has been applied
to the Loans as required by this clause (ii). 
 (e) Casualty Events. Not later than five (5) Business Days
following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by the Borrower, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.08(f); provided
that: 
 (i) so long as no Default shall then exist or arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on
such date to the extent that the Borrower shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are reasonably expected to be used to repair, replace or restore
the property that was the subject of such Casualty Event or otherwise reinvested in assets of any Loan Party used or useful in the operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in either case within 365 days following the date of receipt of
such proceeds (the “Casualty Proceeds Receipt Date”) (which Officer’s Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), which time frame may be extended to 545 days following the Casualty Proceeds
Receipt Date if the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Borrower shall have entered into a binding agreement within such original 365-day time frame to repair, replace or restore such property or make such reinvestment and
such contracted work or reinvestment shall not be complete within the original 365-day time frame; provided that if the property subject to such Casualty Event constituted Collateral, then all property repaired, replaced or restored or
purchased or otherwise acquired with the Net Cash Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the perfected Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for
its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 5.11 and 5.12; 

(ii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be so applied within such 365-day period (or, if applicable, 545-day
period), such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as provided in this Section 2.08(f); and 
 (iii) if at any time that any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) would be required, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase or prepay Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt
(or any Refinancing Indebtedness that is secured on a pro rata basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Casualty Event (such Permitted First Priority Refinancing
Debt or such Refinancing Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased or prepaid, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash 

  
 -53-









 
Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time) to the prepayment of the Loans and
to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) shall be reduced accordingly. 

(f) Application of Prepayments. 
 (i) Prior to any optional prepayment hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Loan to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.08(f)(iii), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.08(f)(i). Any prepayments of Loans pursuant to Sections 2.08(b) through and including (e) shall be applied ratably among each Class of
Loans then outstanding (other than as required or permitted pursuant to Section 2.08(d)(ii) and, subject to Section 2.14, to the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share) to reduce scheduled payments required under
Section 2.07(a) in respect of each Class or Series of Loans in direct order of maturity among the next eight (8) scheduled payments to be made on each Repayment Date and, thereafter, on a pro rata basis among the payments
remaining to be made on each remaining Repayment Date. Optional prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to each Class of Loans in the manner directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the
Borrower, in direct order of maturity among the payments remaining to be made on each Repayment Date of the Class of Loans subject to such prepayment). Each of the foregoing application provisions (including Section 2.08(d)(ii)) may be
modified as expressly provided in Section 2.15 in connection with a Refinancing Amendment. 
 (ii) Amounts to be
applied pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the prepayment of Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans.

 (iii) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Loan, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Such notice to the Lenders may be by electronic
communication. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Loan of the same Type, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Loan
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Loan and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.08. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.04. 

(g) Waiver of Mandatory Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08, (i) the
Lenders may waive, by written notice to the 

  
 -54-









 
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such mandatory prepayment would otherwise be required to be made hereunder, the right to receive the amount of such mandatory
prepayment of the Loans (other than in connection with a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.08(d) as a result of any refinancing of such Loans) and (ii) any amounts not applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to
this clause (g) may be retained instead by the Borrower (provided that no such retained amounts may be used by the Borrower to make Dividends). 
 (h) Notices of Cancellation or Prepayment. A notice of prepayment in full of the Credit Facilities (together with a notice to terminate in full all remaining Commitments) in connection with a full
refinancing of the Credit Facilities (including in connection with a Change of Control) (an “Original Prepayment Notice”) may be revoked by written counter-notice no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
prepayment as specified in such Original Prepayment Notice; provided that the Borrower shall pay any breakage costs and other amounts due in respect of any such revocation as set forth in Section 2.10. The failure to make a
prepayment of outstanding Obligations hereunder pursuant to an Original Prepayment Notice that is revoked in accordance with this clause (h) shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a). 

Section 2.09. Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans 

(a) Inability to determine Applicable Interest Rate. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan:

 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) the Administrative
Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Loan for such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of
any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Funding Notice requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan. 
 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Loans. In the event that on any date (i) any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon
all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Loans has become unlawful as a result of a Change in Law, or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies


  
 -55-









 
occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in
the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) a
notice from Lenders constituting the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such
Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Loan then
being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert
such Loan to, as the case may be) an ABR Loan, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurodollar
Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into ABR Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Loan then being requested by the Borrower
pursuant to a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option to rescind such Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to
the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). 

Section 2.10. Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of
any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Loan for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan) at the interest rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market over (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such
principal amount had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for such 

  
 -56-









 
period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) Business Days after receipt
thereof. 
 Section 2.11. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest or fees, of amounts payable under Section 2.10 or 2.12, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior
to 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified
otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall
be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay
fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 10.08)
or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount
of its Loans accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 2.11(c) shall not be 

  
 -57-









 
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or 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 Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.11(c) shall apply). Each Loan Party consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each 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. If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a
setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.11(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is
entitled under this Section 2.11(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim. 
 (d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower have not in fact made
such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank
compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Sections 2.11(d) or 9.07, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to
satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

Section 2.12. Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Each payment to any Secured Party by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. 
 (b) Gross-Up. If any Indemnified Taxes shall be
required by law to be deducted by any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased by the applicable Loan Party as
necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.12), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant


  
 -58-









 
taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and (iv) if a Loan Party is the applicable withholding agent, as soon as practicable after such payment
is made, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. 
 (c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay on behalf of the Borrower, any Other Taxes. As soon as practicable after the date of any
payment of Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

(d) Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand therefor
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Secured Party and any
liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of
such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this Section 2.12(d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder, together with reasonable supporting documentation of the imposition of such Indemnified Tax, shall be delivered to
the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any amounts payable under this Section 2.12(d) shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after written demand is made by a Secured
Party. 
 (e) Tax Forms. Each Secured Party shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Secured Party to an exemption
from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Secured Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating
that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Secured Party are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent
shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Secured Party that is a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two (2) properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and (ii) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which
it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: (I) two (2) duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (II) two (2) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), (III)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit F
(any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two (2) duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) and a Certificate re Non-Bank Status, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a
partnership), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required
information from each beneficial owner, as applicable, or (V) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly
completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Foreign Lender
shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Foreign Lender of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time, change in such Foreign Lender’s circumstances or change in applicable law renders such forms, certificates or
other evidence so delivered expired, invalid, obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or
successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Foreign Lender’s status or that such Foreign Lender is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this clause (f), a Secured Party shall not be required to deliver any form that such Secured Party is not legally eligible to deliver or the completion, execution, and delivery or submission of which would subject such Secured Party to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (included as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and
such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. 
 (f) For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall
be treated as payments made by the applicable Loan

Party. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “Loan Documents” shall not include the Permitted Hedging Agreements, the tax gross-up and tax indemnity obligations
for which (if any) shall be addressed in such documents. 
 (g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in
good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary to this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party
in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person. 
 Section 2.13. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. 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 2.12(b), 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 in the
future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and
expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (b) Replacement
of Lenders. In the event (i) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.12 or 2.16, (ii) any Lender (a
“Non-Consenting Lender”) fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in
each case, has been consented to by the Required Lenders or (iii) any Lender defaults in its obligations to make Loans, as the case may be, or other extensions of credit hereunder or becomes subject to an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding,
the Borrower 

  
 -61-









 
may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee which shall assume
such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (v) in the event such assignor is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each
matter in respect of which such Non-Consenting Lender failed to provide its consent on any matter where the Required Lenders have given their consent, (w) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not
conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee
shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender affected by such assignment plus all Fees
and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.12); provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such
Lender’s claim for compensation under the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.16 cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or cease to
result in amounts being payable under Section 2.12 or 2.16, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a)), or if such Lender shall waive its right to further payments under
Section 2.12 or 2.16 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an
irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment Agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the
circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.13(b). 
 Section 2.14. Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of
any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default
Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents;
(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Borrower so directs at the
time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making
such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that the
Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b);


  
 -62-









 
and (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any commitment or arranger fee payable to the Lenders in respect of any day during any Default
Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Default Period with
respect to such Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.14, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of
this Section 2.14. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any
Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default. 
 Section 2.15. Refinancing Amendments. 
 (a) At any time after
the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Other Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (I) all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this
clause (I) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Loans) under this Agreement, in the form of Other Loans or Other Commitments, as applicable, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit
Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with, or at the option of the Borrower, may be subordinated in right of payment and/or security (or be unsecured) to the other Loans and
Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and call protection terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) the Effective Yield with respect to each Class of Other Loans (whether in the form of interest
rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) thereunder may be different than the Effective Yield for the Loans of other Class or Classes of Loans and Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable
Refinancing Amendment, (iv) except as provided in Section 2.08(f)(i) or as may be agreed to by the Lenders and Other Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the respective Refinancing Amendment (but
solely as it relates to such person’s providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness waiving their pro rata share of any applicable prepayment or repayment), each Class of Other Loans shall be prepaid and repaid on a pro rata basis
with all voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments (but not amortization payments) of the other Classes of Loans (and the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied substantially concurrently with the incurrence
thereof), and (v) otherwise be treated hereunder no more favorably with respect to covenants and events of default than the Refinanced Debt, except that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may
provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Final Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such
Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. 
 (b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment
shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and such 

  
 -63-









 
other conditions as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and set forth in a Refinancing Amendment and, to the extent reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion
resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent (including mortgage amendments) in order to ensure that the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. Any Other Loans
converted from or exchanged for any then-existing Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Other Loan, as applicable. Each Class or Series of Credit
Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”). Each of the parties hereto
hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended (without any consent from any Lender) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the
Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans) and (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.02(d). Additionally, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment in connection with any Permitted Second Priority
Refinancing Debt, the Loan Parties and the Collateral Agent will enter into junior lien collateral documents without the consent of the Lenders so long as the Administrative Agent has been provided reasonably requested assurances that such
documentation is not more restrictive than the Collateral Documents in any material respect. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15 and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into
any such Refinancing Amendment, and this Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.11 or Section 10.02 to the contrary. 
 Section 2.16. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a)
Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof
(regardless of whether the underlying law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order was issued or enacted prior to the date hereof), including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order but excluding
solely proposals thereof, or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case 

  
 -64-









 
that becomes effective after the date hereof, or (B) any guideline, request or directive by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the
force of law) or any implementation of rules or interpretations of previously issued guidelines, requests or directives, in each case that is issued or made after the date hereof: (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or
any company controlling such Lender to any additional Tax (other than any Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to
such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other
reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Adjusted LIBOR Rate”) or any company controlling such Lender;
or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender or such Lender’s obligations hereunder or the London
interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending
office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a
different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable
hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this
Section 2.16(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (B) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or
any company controlling such Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the date
hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or participations therein or other
obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration
the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence,


  
 -65-









 
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to the Lender under this Section 2.16(b), which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.16 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning
liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the
implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or
implemented. 
 ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 Each Loan Party represents and warrants to
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that: 
 Section 3.01. Organization;
Powers. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and
(c) is qualified, licensed and in good standing to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify, be licensed or be in good standing could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The
Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of each such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan
Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law. 
 Section 3.03. No Conflicts; No Default. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent,
exemption, authorization or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or third party, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary
to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and (iii) consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or perform
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party, (c) will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under (x) any
indenture, instrument, agreement, or other document binding upon any Loan Party or its property or to which any Loan Party or its property 

  
 -66-









 
is subject, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (y) any Organizational Document, (d) will not violate any Legal Requirement in any material respect, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property
of any Loan Party, except Liens created by the Security Documents and Liens created by the ABL Loan Documents. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 Section 3.04. Financial Statements; Projections. 
 (a) The
Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and
normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes. Such financial statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present in
all material respects financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes). Except as set forth in such financial statements, there are no contingent liabilities or liabilities for Taxes, long term leases or unusual forward or long term commitments that are not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or
the notes thereto and which in any such case are material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

(b) On and as of the Closing Date, the projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period of Fiscal Year 2012 through and
including Fiscal Year 2015 (the “Projections”) are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by management of the Borrower; provided, that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and that such differences may be material; provided that as of the Closing Date and the time made, management of the Borrower believed such Projections were reasonable.

 (c) Since January 28, 2012, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.05. Properties. 

(a) Each Loan Party has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all property that is material to its business, free and clear of
all Liens and irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title except for Permitted Liens (or, in the case of Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens) and minor irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title that, individually or in the
aggregate, do not, and could not reasonably be expected to, materially impair the use thereof in the operation of the business of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole. The property of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, is in satisfactory condition
and repair for use in the ordinary course of business (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted). 

  
 -67-









 (b) Schedule 3.05(b) contains a true and complete list of each ownership and
leasehold interest in real property (i) owned by any Loan Party (“Owned Real Property”) as of the Closing Date and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise occupied or utilized by any Loan Party, as lessee, sublessee,
franchisee or licensee (“Leased Real Property”), as of the Closing Date and describes the type of interest therein held by such Loan Party and whether such lease, sublease or other instrument requires the consent of the landlord
thereunder or other parties thereto to the Transactions except to the extent the failure to obtain such consent would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) No Mortgage encumbers Mortgaged Property that is located in a Flood Zone unless flood insurance available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.05. 
 (d) The use by each Loan
Party of its property and all such rights with respect to the foregoing does not infringe on the rights or other interests of any person, other than any infringement that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Loan Party’s use of any of its property does or may violate the rights of any third party that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably
be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property is zoned in all material respects to permit the uses for which such real property is currently being used except to the extent such violation,
either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present uses of the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property and the current operations of each Loan Party’s business
do not violate in any material respect any provision of any applicable building codes, subdivision regulations, fire regulations, health regulations or building and zoning by-laws, except to the extent such violation, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Except for exceptions to the
following that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceeding with
respect to, or that could affect any of the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property of the Loan Parties. 
 (f) To the
knowledge of the Loan Parties, each parcel of Owned Real Property is taxed as a separate tax lot and is currently being used in a manner that is consistent with and in compliance in all material respects with the property classification assigned to
it for real estate tax assessment purposes.

 Section 3.06. Intellectual Property 

(a) Each Loan Party owns or is licensed to use, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all patents and patent
applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, domain names and applications for registration thereof, and technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, inventions, know-how and processes, in each case necessary for the
conduct of its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those for which the failure to own or be licensed, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06, no claim has been asserted or is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual
Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the rights of any person, except for such claims
and infringements which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Loan Party in the ordinary course of
business, no Loan Party has done anything to authorize or enable any other person to use such Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party has taken commercially reasonable actions to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets
which are material in such Loan Party’s business. 
 (b) No Violations or Proceedings. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.06, (i) to the knowledge of each Loan Party, there is no infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation by others of any right of any Loan Party with respect to any Intellectual Property, other than in any case
where such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) no Loan Party is infringing upon, misappropriating, diluting or
otherwise violating any Intellectual Property right of any other person other than in any case where such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (iii) no Loan Party is in breach of, or in default under, any license of Intellectual Property by any other person, to such Loan Party, except in any case where such breach or default, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) no proceedings have been instituted or are pending against any Loan Party or threatened, and no claim against any Loan Party has been received by any Loan Party,
alleging any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, except to the extent that such proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 (c) No Impairment. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, nor
the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will alter, impair or otherwise affect or require the consent, approval or other authorization of any other person in respect of any right of any Loan
Party in any Intellectual Property, except to the extent that such alteration, impairment, effect, consent, approval or other authorization, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

incorporation or organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding, on the Closing Date and the number of Equity Interests covered by all outstanding options,
warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights on the Closing Date. All Equity Interests of each Loan Party are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and, other than the Borrower, are, as of the Closing Date,
owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, through Wholly Owned Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by (or purporting to be pledged by) it under
the Security Documents, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security interest created by the Security Documents or the ABL Loan Documents or imposed pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other
Intercreditor Agreement and any Permitted Liens that arise by operation of applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives)
to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests (or any economic or voting interests therein).

 (b) No consent of any person, including any general or limited partner, any other member or manager of a limited liability
company, any shareholder, any other trust beneficiary or derivative counterparty, is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or priority status with the ranking provided
for in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (or the maintenance thereof) of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any
Lender of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Documents or the exercise of remedies in respect of such Equity Interests. 
 Section 3.08. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, claims, disputes or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the best of the
knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any business, property or rights of any Loan Party (a) that purport to affect or involve any Loan Document or any of the Transactions or (b) that have resulted,
or as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

purchasing, buying or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension will be used, whether
directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the
Security Agreement Collateral does not violate such regulations. 
 Section 3.10. Investment Company Act,
etc. No Loan Party is (a) an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) subject to regulation under any Legal Requirement (other than Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur, create, assume or permit to exist Indebtedness or grant any
Contingent Obligation in respect of Indebtedness. 
 Section 3.11. Taxes. Each Loan Party has (a) timely
filed or caused to be timely filed all income Tax Returns and all other material Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid or caused to be
duly and timely paid all material Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable by it and all assessments received by it; except for Taxes and assessments that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Each Loan Party has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all Taxes not yet due and payable. No Loan Party has knowledge of any proposed or
pending tax assessments, deficiencies, audits or other proceedings and no proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies, audits or other proceedings have resulted, or could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result, in
a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party has ever “participated” in a “listed transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. No Loan Party is party to any tax sharing or similar agreement.

 Section 3.12. No Material Misstatements. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements,

reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, taken as a whole, in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as
modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading in any material respect; provided that (a) with respect to financial estimates, projected financial information and other forward-looking information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation; it being understood that such projections are 

  
 -71-









 
not to be viewed as facts, that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ significantly from the projected results and that such differences may be
material and that such projections are not a guarantee of financial performance and (b) no representation is being made pursuant to this Section 3.12 with respect to information of a general economic or general industry nature.

 Section 3.13. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending
or, to the best of the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Loan Party have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 3.14. Solvency. Both immediately before and immediately after the consummation of the Transactions
to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Credit Extension and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Credit Extension, (a) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, does not exceed the fair value of the present assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on their debts as they become absolute and
matured, (c) the capital of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, contemplated as of the date hereof and (d) the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts (including current obligations and contingent liabilities) beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature in the ordinary course
of business. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be
expected to become an actual or matured liability. 
 Section 3.15. Employee Benefit Plans 

(a) Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination
from the Internal Revenue Service on which the sponsor of such plan is entitled to rely and nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification, in each case except as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.16.
Environmental Matters. 
 (a) Except for the matters described on Schedule 3.16 and except with respect to any
other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be

permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any Environmental Claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or

disposed of on any property currently or formerly owned, operated or used by any Loan Party or (to the knowledge of the Borrower) by any of its predecessors. 
 (c) Except for the matters described on Schedule 3.16 and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, no Loan Party is undertaking, or has completed, either individually or together with other potentially responsible parties, any investigation, assessment, remedial or Response action relating to any actual or threatened Release or
disposal of Hazardous Materials at any site, location, or operation, either voluntarily or pursuant to the Order of any Governmental Authority or the requirements of any Environmental Law.

America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (the “Patriot Act”).

such proceeds to any person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clause (b) above (including any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof); provided that such amendments or refinancings are no more materially restrictive with respect to such encumbrances
and restrictions than those prior to such amendment or refinancing;

 (l) any agreement governing Indebtedness entered into after the Closing Date and permitted

hereunder. 
 Section 6.13. No Further Negative Pledge. Enter into any agreement, instrument, deed or lease
which prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its properties or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or which requires the grant of any

 ARTICLE VII 
 GUARANTEE 
 Section 7.01. The Guarantee. All Guarantors
executing a Joinder Agreement hereby, jointly and severally, guarantee, as primary obligors and not as sureties, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United
States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to
the Secured Parties by any Loan Party in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree
that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or
notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance
with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 Section 7.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of
the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and
several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution,
release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
Guarantor (except for payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors
hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above: 
 (a)
at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; 
 (c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right 

  
 -105-









 
under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
 (d) any Lien or security
interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be valid, perfected or to have the priority required under the Loan Documents; or 

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.09. 

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement
that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person
under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof
of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all
dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional
guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall
not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the
Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no
Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. 
 Section 7.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under
this Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 
 Section 7.04. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and
termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01,
whether by subrogation or otherwise, against 

  
 -106-









 
the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to
Section 6.04(f) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness. 
 Section 7.05. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan
Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII) for purposes of
Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or
such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

 Section 7.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee
in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have
the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213. 
 Section 7.07. Continuing
Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 

Section 7.08. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate
limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Legal Requirement affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor
under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01,
then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving
effect to the rights of subrogation and contribution established in Sections 7.04 and 7.10, respectively) that is valid and enforceable, not void or voidable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such
action or proceeding. 
 Section 7.09. Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions
of the Loan Documents, (i) all of the Equity Interests or (ii) all or substantially all of the property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons (other than any
Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.03) and its
obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of the sale of all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity


  
 -107-









 
Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released, and, so long as the Borrower shall have previously provided the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent such certifications or documents the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent as shall reasonably request, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents. 
 Section 7.10. Right of Contribution.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor
hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no
respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 Section 8.01. Events of Default.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”):

to observe or perform any other term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing any such Material Indebtedness if the effect of any failure referred to in this clause (ii) is to cause, or

maturity or become subject to a mandatory offer to purchase by the obligor; provided that, any such failure or the occurrence of any such other event referred to in subclause (ii) relating to Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement
or any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof shall constitute any Event of Default under this Section 8.01(e) only after the earliest to occur of (x) expiration of a forty-five (45)-day period following the commencement of such failure or the
date of such occurrence, (y) any acceleration of the Revolving Facility Debt (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement, whether automatic or otherwise or (z) the commencement of any
Enforcement Action (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) by the ABL Collateral Agent or any holder of ABL Obligations as the result of such failure or occurrence; provided, further, that, for purposes of determining the principal
amount of Material Indebtedness, in the case of obligations with respect to Hedging Obligations, the amount counted for this purpose shall be the amount payable by all Loan Parties if such Hedging Obligations were terminated at such time;
provided, even further, that this clause (f) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of a sale or transfer of the property securing such Indebtedness if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and
under the documents providing for such Indebtedness; 
 (g) an Insolvency Proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary

coverage in writing) shall be rendered against any Loan Party or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged, unvacated or unbonded for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively
stayed; 
 (j) one or more ERISA Events shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events that have

 -110-









 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph
(g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the
same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments; (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together
with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding; and (iii) exercise any and all of its other rights and
remedies under applicable Legal Requirements, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding.

 In addition, without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure (or other similar exercise of remedies) by the
Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other
Disposition and, in addition, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of all of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders
shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other Disposition, to use and apply any of the
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. 

Section 8.02. [RESERVED] 
 Section 8.03. Borrower’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has
occurred under the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10, any equity contribution (in the form of Qualified Capital Stock or other equity having terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) made to the Borrower after
the last day of any Fiscal Quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten (10) days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for that Fiscal Quarter will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the
calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10 at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and any subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter (any
such equity contribution, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) Borrower shall not be permitted to so request that a Specified Equity Contribution be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA
with respect to any 

  
 -111-









 
Fiscal Quarter unless, after giving effect to such requested Specified Equity Contribution, there will be at least two (2) Fiscal Quarters in the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period in
respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution has been made, (b) no more than five (5) Specified Equity Contributions may be made during the term of the Facility, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no
greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10, (d) all Specified Equity Contributions will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Loan
Documents (including calculating Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining Retained Excess Cash Flow Amount and other items governed by reference to Consolidated EBITDA, and for purposes of the Dividends covenant in Section 6.08),
(e) the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution shall have been contributed to the Borrower in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock or other equity having terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (f) if the proceeds
of the Specified Equity Contribution are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.10 or for the purposes of
calculating the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, in each case for the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period, and (g) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a notice from the Borrower that it intends to exercise the cure right (a
“Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the tenth day after the day on which financial statements have been or are required to be delivered for that Fiscal Quarter to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates, none of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on
or take possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 6.10. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period” shall mean,
with respect to any requested Specified Equity Contribution, the four Fiscal Quarter period ending on (and including) the Fiscal Quarter in which Consolidated EBITDA will be increased as a result of such Specified Equity Contribution. 

ARTICLE IX 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
 Section 9.01. Appointment. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or
employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any such provisions. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency
or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each of the Bookrunners and any Agent described in the definition thereof may resign from such role at any time, with immediate effect, by giving prior written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

  
 -112-









 (b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the
purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security interest
can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral
Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. The Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral
Agent may act, subject to and in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreements and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as the collateral agent for the Lenders and for the lenders under the Other Loans. 

Section 9.02. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall 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 such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it 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 any Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Section 10.02). No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any 

  
 -113-









 
Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or
(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, except to confirm receipt of the deliverables required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 4.01. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time)
required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting
at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be
liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents. 

Section 9.04. Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a 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, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received
written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other Advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors. 

Section 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.05 and of Section 9.11 shall apply to the Affiliates of the Administrative
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. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the
exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.05 and of Section 9.07 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent
as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i)

  
 -114-









 
such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and
shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the
consent or joinder of any other person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the
consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other person shall have any rights, directly or
indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. 
 Section 9.06. Successor Agent.

 (a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the
Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders.
The Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists and is
continuing) and the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of resignation (regardless of whether a successor has been
appointed or not), (ii) the acceptance of such successor the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such
removal, if a successor the Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor
the Administrative Agent. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that, until a successor the Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in
its role as the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring Collateral Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor the Administrative Agent, that successor the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor the Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with
all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor the Administrative
Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor the Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral
Documents, 

  
 -115-









 
whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided above, any resignation or removal of the Administrative
Agent or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any retiring or removed Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.06 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any
successor the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. 

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Grantors, and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and the Collateral Agent signed by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall have the right to appoint a financial institution as the Collateral Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and the Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the
earliest of (i) thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice of resignation, (ii) the acceptance of such successor Collateral Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (iii) such other date, if any, agreed to by the
Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Until a
successor Collateral Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring
Collateral Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly
(i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of
this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder. 

Section 9.07. Indemnification. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify
each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have 

  
 -116-









 
been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished
to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described
in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. 
 Section 9.08. Withholding Taxes. To the extent
required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of
a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without
deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest
and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 

Section 9.09. [RESERVED] 
 Section 9.10. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. 
 (a) Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Agreement, each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in
this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the
Lenders. 

  
 -117-









 (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment
Agreement and funding its Loan, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on
the Closing Date. 
 Section 9.11. Collateral Documents and Guaranty. 

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Loan Documents; provided that neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Permitted Hedging Agreement.
Subject to Section 10.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in
connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders
as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.09 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other
Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented. 
 (b) Right to
Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no
Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised
solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised
solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a
public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a
“credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code,) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

  
 -118-









 (c) Rights under Hedging Agreements. No Hedging Agreement will create (or be deemed
to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in
Section 9.11(d) of this Agreement and Section 11.1 of the Security Agreement. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be
bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (c). 
 (d)
Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to
release its security interest in any Collateral subject to any Disposition permitted by the Loan Documents, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any person subject to such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit
consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all
guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the
provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 (e) The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon,
or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

  
 -119-









 Section 9.12. Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and
Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies
with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor; 
 (b) to file and prove a claim
for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (c) 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 2.03 and 10.03. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03 and 10.03 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions,
dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding and any Lender may
vote on such a plan or claim in its sole discretion. 
 Section 9.13. 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 Loan Documents, except as set forth in this Agreement or the Loan
Documents and in its capacity, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender hereunder, as applicable.

 Section 10.01. Notices. 

(a) Notices Generally. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to a Loan Party, the Collateral
Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall be sent to such person’s address as set forth on Annex II or in the other relevant Loan Document, and in the case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Annex II or otherwise indicated to the
Administrative Agent in writing. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.02(b) or paragraph (b) below, each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile (except for any notices sent

(b) Electronic Communications. 
 (i) Notices and other communications to any Agent or Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the
Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Agent or Lender pursuant to Article II if such person has notified Administrative Agent that it is
incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (A) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail
address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment),
provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the
recipient, and (B) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (A) of

 -121-









 (ii) Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic
medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (iii) The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in
the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from
viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications. 
 (iv) Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with
the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies. 
 (v) Any notice of Default or Event of
Default may be provided by telephone if confirmed promptly thereafter by delivery of written notice thereof. 
 (c) Private
Side Information Contacts. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration
screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to
information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain Non-Public Information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United
States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have
availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.02. Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise


  
 -122-









 
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Loan
Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14 and
Section 10.02(c), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
(in the case of any Security Document) with the written consent of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood
that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an increase in or extension of the expiry date of the
Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i)); 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of
any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.04(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));

 (iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of or the installment otherwise due on
the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.07, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the interest
rate pursuant to Section 2.04(c)), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(iv) change Section 2.11(b) or (c) (or any other similar provision contained herein) in a manner that would
alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby (in each case other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Sections 10.04(j) or (k), any transactions entered into to extend the
Maturity Date of any Class or the incurrence of any Refinancing Indebtedness, in each case not otherwise contemplated hereby), without the written consent of each Lender; 

  
 -123-









 (v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or
any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant
any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); 
 (vi)
release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Guarantees (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender;

 (vii) except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement or any
Security Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, subordinate the Collateral Agent’s Liens in all or substantially all of the Collateral (it being understood that this clause
(vii) shall not apply to subordination of the Collateral Agent’s Liens to holders of Permitted Liens under Sections 6.02(c), (f), (i) or (k)), or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations
entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional Secured Obligations equally and ratably with the other Secured Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender; 

(viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely and directly affects the rights in respect of
payments due to the Lenders holding Loans of any Class materially differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each
directly affected Class; 
 (ix) change the order of application of prepayments among Loans under Section 2.08(f)
or change the application of prepayments of Loans set forth in Section 2.08(f) in each case without the consent of the Required Lenders and the Lenders holding more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Loans, or

 (x) change Section 10.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written
consent of each Lender; 
 provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon
the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other
amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.13(b) is complied with. 

  
 -124-









 (c) Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and
the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or
instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable Legal
Requirements to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Legal Requirements. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and/or any Intercreditor Agreement, in
addition to any Credit Extensions and Refinancing Amendments effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.15, as applicable, this Agreement (including this Section 10.02 and
Section 2.11) may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional Credit Facilities to this Agreement and to permit
the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the relevant Loans and the accrued interest
and Fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such Credit Facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Credit Facilities. 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and/or any Intercreditor Agreement, any amendment,
modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to Section 2.08 relating to the application of any mandatory prepayment that results in a Class of Lenders being allocated a lesser repayment than such Class would otherwise have been
entitled to in the absence of such amendment, modification or waiver, shall require the consent of the Required Lenders (but, for this purpose, determined as if no other Classes of Loans or Commitments are then outstanding) for such affected Class
of Lenders (except in the case where additional extensions of terms loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the relevant Loans pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date). 

(f) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.02, if following the Closing Date, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of
the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not
objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment). 

Each waiver, amendment, modification, supplement or consent made or given pursuant to this Section 10.02 shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and such waiver, amendment, modification or supplement shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future
holders of the Loans and Commitments. 

  
 -125-









 Section 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay within fifteen
(15) Business Days of written demand therefor (i) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications thereto; (ii) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Borrower and the other Loan Parties; (iii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents in connection with the negotiation,

Collateral Documents; (v) all the actual costs and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers; (vi) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of any appraisers, consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by the Collateral Agent and its counsel) in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (vii) all other actual and
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and
(viii) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting
any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the
Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or
proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the reimbursement of legal fees, costs and expenses shall be limited to the actual reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Agents and the Lenders,
taken as a whole (plus, in the event of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each affected group), and, if necessary, of one counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to such persons, taken as a whole, and (y) the reimbursement
of fees, costs and expenses of any auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers, advisors or agents pursuant to clause (v) or (vi) above shall be limited to the actual reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of
one such auditor, accountant, consultant, appraiser, advisor or agent to the Agents and the Lenders, taken as a whole. 

  
 -126-









 (b) Indemnity. 

(i) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to this Section 10.03, whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be consummated, each Loan Party agrees to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates (each, an
“Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified
Liabilities arise from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of such Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) any dispute solely among the Indemnitees other than (1) any claim against an Indemnitee in its capacity as or in fulfilling its role as Agent and (2) any claim arising out of any act or
omission of the Borrower or any of its affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any
law or public policy, the applicable Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

 (ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim
against each Lender, each Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents or representatives, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether
or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, the Borrower
hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 (iii) Each Loan Party also agrees that no Lender, Agent nor their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents or representatives will have any liability to any Loan Party or any person asserting
claims on behalf of or in right of any Loan Party or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Loan Party to the extent that any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Loan Party or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents representatives, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender, Agent or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, 

  
 -127-









 
agents or other representatives, or (y) a material breach by such Lender, Agent or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of their
obligations under the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided, however, that in no event will such Lender, Agent, or their respective Affiliates, directors, employees,
agents or representatives have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Lender’s, Agent’s or their respective Affiliates’, directors’, employees’,
agents’ or representatives’ activities related to this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein. 

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby , except that the Loan Parties may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole
discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b) Any Lender shall have
the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Affiliated Lender, any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof or any Disqualified Institution or a natural person except, in the case of Affiliated Lenders, as provided in
Sections 10.04(j) and (k) below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans of any Class at the time owing to it); provided that:

 (i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or (B) an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Initial Loan Commitment of any Class or Loans of any Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000; 
 (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause
(ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans; 

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a
processing and recordation 

  
 -128-









 
fee of $3,500; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of (A) an assignment by any Lender to an Approved Fund of such Lender, (B) any assignment made in
connection with the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans or (C) an assignment by or to an Arrangers or any affiliate thereof; 
 (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and 
 (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no assignments or transfers may be made to a Disqualified Institution; 
 provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to
have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after the earlier of the occurrence of (x) a Qualifying IPO and (y) twelve
(12) months after the Closing Date or (ii) if an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or (b) or, with respect to the Borrower, Sections 8.01(g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing any consent of
the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any liability of the Borrower to such assignee under
Section 2.10, 2.12 or 2.16 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by the Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a
Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12
and 10.03). This Section 10.04(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans or Commitments on a non-pro rata basis. 

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments (by Class) of, and principal amount of the Loans (by Class) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, and any Lender (with
respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 -129-









 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment
Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(b). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e). 
 (e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time,
without the consent of, or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other person to sell participations to any person (other than any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof or a natural person) (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Class of its Commitment and any Class of 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, the Collateral Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly affects
such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to Section 10.04(b). To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing
to be subject to Section 2.11(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of
such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 

  
 -130-









 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 2.10 or 2.12 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 prior
written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the
Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.12(f) and 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.04(g) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender
that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund,
as security for such obligations or securities. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to
provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to
make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that
nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any
manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of the Borrower. The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the
Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document. The making of a Loan by
an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy,
reorganization, 

  
 -131-









 
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 10.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any
Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and
(ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(i) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, 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. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 10.04(j) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Affiliated Lenders may purchase outstanding Loans on the following basis: 
 (i) The Sponsor (excluding any Debt Fund Affiliate) or any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate may purchase all or any portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders pursuant to an Assignment Agreement between such
Affiliated Lender and such Lender or Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding with respect to all purchases pursuant to this clause (i) and clause
(ii) below; provided that (I) with respect to such purchases, each such Affiliated Lender shall simultaneously provide a copy of such Assignment Agreement and any other agreements between such Affiliated Lender and such Lender
with respect to such purchase to the Administrative Agent; and (II) no such Affiliated Lender shall have any right, (A) to require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or (B) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such persons under the Loan Documents; 

(ii) Any Affiliated Lender may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to purchase all or any
portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 25% of the then outstanding principal amount of Loans with respect to all purchases pursuant to this clause (ii) (such Loans, the “Offer
Loans”) and clause (i) above, provided that (A) such Affiliated Lender delivers a notice of the Loans that will be subject to such Auction to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) no later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Auction indicating (1) the date on which the Auction will conclude, (2) the maximum principal amount of Loans such
Affiliated Lender is 

  
 -132-









 
willing to purchase in the Auction and (3) the range of discounts to par at which such Affiliated Lender would be willing to purchase the Offer Loans; (B) the maximum dollar amount of
the Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) such Affiliated Lender shall hold the Auction open for a minimum period of three (3) Business Days; (D) a Lender
who elects to participate in the Auction may choose to tender all or part of such Lender’s Offer Loans; (E) the Auction shall be made to the Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their pro
rata shares; (F) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Agent may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.04(j) and are reasonably acceptable to such Affiliated Lender and
the Administrative Agent that a Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans purchased; and (G) in the case of any Auction conducted by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;

 (iii) With respect to all purchases made by Affiliated Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.04(j) and in
furtherance of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), (A) each Affiliated Lender shall pay to the applicable assigning Lender all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Loans to the date of purchase of such Loans, (B) each
Affiliated Lender shall represent that, as of the launch date of the related Auction (in the case of an Auction) and the effective date of any Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their respective assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed to the assigning Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material
to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Affiliated Lender, as the case may be (in each case, other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its
Subsidiaries or their respective assets or securities), and (C) to the extent made by the Borrower, such purchases shall not constitute voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.08(a); 

(iv) No Affiliated Lender that purchases Loans pursuant to this Section 10.04(j) shall have any right (A) to consent to
any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that would require the consent of the Required Lenders, (B) to otherwise vote on any matter related
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of the Required Lenders, and (C) to attend any conference call or meeting with any Agent or Lender (to the extent that the Loan Parties are excluded from attending) or
receive any information from any Agent or Lender (to the extent not provided to the Loan Parties); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (I) each Affiliated Lender shall have the right to consent to any amendment, modification,
waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that would require the consent of all Lenders or the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (other than in respect
of releases of the Collateral and Guarantees) if such amendment, modification or waiver adversely affects such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders and (II) no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect
any Affiliated Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect of any Lender of the same class or that would deprive such Affiliated Lender of its pro rata share of any payments to which it is entitled to share on a pro
rata basis hereunder; 

  
 -133-









 (v) Following purchase of Loans by (x) the Sponsor (excluding any Debt Fund Affiliate)
or any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to contribute such Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which Loans so contributed shall, without further action
by any person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) and (y) Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), the
Loans so purchased shall, without further action by any person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower or any such Subsidiaries), in the case of clauses (x) and (y) for all
purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of the Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. In connection with any Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by an
Affiliated Lender in connection with a purchase permitted by this Section 10.04(j) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11. Failure by an Affiliated Lender to make any payment to a Lender required by an
agreement permitted by this Section 10.04(j) shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a); and 
 (vi) Each Affiliated Lender shall acknowledge and agree that if a case under Sections 1126 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States is commenced against Borrower and/or any other Loan Party,
the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, as applicable, shall seek (and each Affiliated Lender shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of the Borrower
and/or such Loan Parties, as applicable, shall not be counted except that such Affiliated Lender’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such
Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. To the extent
that the vote of any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) is counted with respect to any plan of reorganization of the Borrower and/or such Loan Parties, as applicable, each Affiliated Lender shall vote in such plan of reorganization in
the same proportion as the allocation of voting such plan of reorganization by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders. Each Affiliated Lender shall also irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an
interest), as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior
written notice to such Affiliated Lender, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (vi).

 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(k)
or any other provision of this Agreement, any Debt Fund Affiliate may purchase outstanding Loans on the following basis: 
 (i)
Any Debt Fund Affiliate may purchase all or any portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders pursuant to an Assignment Agreement between such Debt Fund Affiliate and such Lender or Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, when added to
all purchases pursuant to clause (ii) below and purchases of Loans by Affiliated Lenders pursuant to Sections 10.04(j)(i) and (ii), 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Loans; provided that
(I) with respect to such purchases, each Debt Fund Affiliate shall simultaneously provide a copy of such Assignment Agreement and any other agreements between such Debt Fund Affiliate and such Lender with respect to such purchase to the
Administrative Agent; and (II) no such Debt Fund Affiliate shall have any right, (A) to require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
(B) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such persons under the Loan Documents; 

(ii) Any Debt Fund Affiliate may conduct one or more Auctions to purchase all or any portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed, when added to all purchases pursuant to clause (i) above and purchases of Loans by Affiliated Lenders pursuant to Sections 10.04(j)(i) and (ii), 25% of the aggregate principal
amount of then outstanding Loans, provided that (A) such Debt Fund Affiliate delivers a notice of the Loans that will be subject to such Auction to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) no later than 12:00 noon (New
York City time) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Auction indicating (1) the date on which the Auction will conclude, (2) the maximum principal amount of Loans such Debt Fund Affiliate
is willing to purchase in the Auction and (3) the range of discounts to par at which such Affiliated Lender would be willing to purchase the Offer Loans; (B) the maximum dollar amount of the Auction shall be no less than an aggregate
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) such Debt Fund Affiliate shall hold the Auction open for a minimum period of three (3) Business Days; (D) a Lender who elects to participate in the Auction may
choose to tender all or part of such Lender’s Offer Loans; and (E) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Agent may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.04(k) and are
reasonably acceptable to such Debt Fund Affiliate and the Administrative Agent that a Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans purchased; 
 (iii) With respect to all purchases made by Debt Fund Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.04(k), (A) each Debt Fund Affiliate shall pay to the applicable assigning Lender all accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Loans to the date of purchase of such Loans; and (B) each Debt Fund Affiliate shall represent that, as of the launch date of the related Auction (in the case of an Auction) and the effective date of
any Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their respective assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed to the assigning Lenders prior to such
date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Debt Fund Affiliate, as the case may be (in each case, other than because such assigning
Lender does not wish to receive any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or securities); 

  
 -135-









 (iv) In connection with any Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this
Section 10.04(k), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by a Debt Fund Affiliate in connection with a purchase permitted by this
Section 10.04(k) shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11. Failure by a Debt Fund Affiliate to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 10.04(k) shall not
constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a); 
 (v) No Debt Fund Affiliate that purchases Loans pursuant
to this Section 10.04(k) shall have any right (A) to consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that would require the
consent of the Required Lenders, (B) to otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of the Required Lenders, and (C) to attend any conference call or meeting with any Agent or
Lender (to the extent that the Loan Parties are excluded from attending) or receive any information from any Agent or Lender (to the extent not provided to the Loan Parties); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (I) each Debt Fund
Affiliate shall have the right to consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that would require the consent of all Lenders or the consent of
all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (other than in respect of releases of the Collateral and Guarantees) if such amendment, modification or waiver adversely affects such Debt Fund Affiliate in any material respect as compared to
other Lenders and (II) no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect any Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect of any Lender of the same class or that would deprive such Debt Fund Affiliate of its
pro rata share of any payments to which it is entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder; and 
 (vi)
Each Debt Fund Affiliate shall acknowledge and agree that if a case under sections 1126 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States is commenced against Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, as
applicable, shall seek (and each Debt Fund Affiliate shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Debt Fund Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of the Borrower and/or such Loan Parties, as applicable,
shall not be counted except that such Debt Fund Affiliate’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is
less favorable in any material respect to such Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower or any other Loan Party. To the extent that the vote of any Debt Fund
Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) is counted with respect to any plan of reorganization of the Borrower and/or such Loan Parties, as applicable, each Debt Fund Affiliate shall vote in such plan of reorganization in the same proportion as the
allocation of voting such plan of reorganization by those Lenders who are not Debt Fund Affiliates. Each Debt Fund Affiliate shall also irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest), as such Debt Fund
Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Debt Fund Affiliate and in the name of such Debt Fund Affiliate, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such
Debt Fund Affiliate, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (vi). 

  
 -136-









 Section 10.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have
been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans , regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and so
long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article IX and Sections 2.12, 10.03 and 10.09 to 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements
with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of
their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any
Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not 

  
 -137-









 
such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such
Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have. Following such set-off, the Lender or Affiliate, as the case may be, taking such action shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not impact the rights of setoff of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, or result in any liability to any such Lender or Affiliate. 

Section 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS

BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO

Section 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 10.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, Advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this
Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding 

  
 -139-









 
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those
of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and their obligations, (iii) any actual or prospective investor in an SPC or (iv) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any
Loan or Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 10.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the
existence of the Loan Documents and information about the Loan Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the financing community, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders. For the purposes of this
Section 10.12, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business that is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section 10.12 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. 
 Section 10.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful
rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 Section 10.14. Assignment Agreement. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by
delivering to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower (if the Borrower’s consent to such assignment is required hereunder) and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -140-









 Section 10.15. Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (a) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party; 

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan
Party; 
 (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (d) any exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any Liens on any or all of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for
all or any of the Secured Obligations; 
 (e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or
privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or 
 (f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties. 
 Section 10.16. Waiver of Defenses; Absence of Fiduciary
Duties. 
 (a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a Guarantor
arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations hereunder (including any defense contained in Article VII). 
 (b) Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan
Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender,
on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder
and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an
advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its
own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim
that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

  
 -141-









 Section 10.17. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each Loan Party
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

Section 10.18. [RESERVED] 
 Section 10.19. Concerning the ABL Facility. The Lenders acknowledge that obligations of the Borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement may be secured by Liens on assets of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries that constitute ABL Priority Collateral. At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and other documents establishing the relative rights of the
Lenders and of the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, the ABL Loan Documents and any documents relating thereto, in each case, on behalf of such Lender and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender, and agrees that no Lender shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken by such Agent pursuant to this Section 10.19. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of the
provisions of Article IX with respect to all actions taken by them pursuant to this Section 10.19 to the full extent thereof.

Subsidiaries of Borrower (collectively, the “Group Members” and each, a “Group Member”) party to this subordinated intercompany note (this “Promissory Note”) promises to pay to the order of such

this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payee”), on demand, in lawful money as may be agreed upon from time to time by the relevant Payor and Payee, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee,
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule A attached hereto

unpaid interest on such principal amount shall also be due and payable. Interest shall be paid in any lawful currency as may be agreed upon by the relevant Payor and Payee and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed for the actual
number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days. 
 Each Payor and any endorser of this Promissory Note
hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights. 

This Promissory Note has been pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
as security for such Payee’s obligations, if any, under the Loan Documents to which such Payee is a party. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of each Payee that is a Loan Party under this Promissory Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or
counterclaim available to such Payor. 

  
 EXHIBIT D-1









 Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against any Payor that is a Loan
Party or any endorser of this Promissory Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Secured Obligations until all of the Secured Obligations have been performed and paid in full
(other than contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) and all commitments to extend credit under any Loan Document have been terminated; provided, that each Payor that is a Loan Party may make payments to the applicable Payee so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Promissory Note shall be received by the applicable Payor subject to the provisions of the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of
any Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to any Secured Party to secure payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties in
such assets. Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, the Payees shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or
otherwise, unless and until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been performed and paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) and all commitments have been expired or terminated. 

After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if all or any part of the assets of any Payor, or the
proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of any Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment
for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any Payor is dissolved or if (except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents) all or substantially all of the assets of any Payor are sold, then, and in any
such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of such Payor to any Payee
(“Payor Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for application to any of the Secured Obligations, due or to become due, until the date on which the Secured Obligations shall have been performed
and paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) and all commitments to extend credit under any Loan Document shall have expired or been terminated. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Collateral Agent as such Payee’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to demand, sue for, collect
and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Collateral Agent’s own names or in the name of such
Payee or otherwise, as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Promissory Note. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Payee that is a Loan Party also agrees to
execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness requested by the Collateral Agent. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may vote such proofs
of claim in any such proceeding (and the applicable Payee shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any 

  
 EXHIBIT D-2









 
and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Secured Obligations in
accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by any Payee
that is a Loan Party upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee prior to such time as the Secured Obligations have been performed and paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) and all
commitments to extend credit under any Loan Document have expired or been terminated, such Payee that is a Loan Party shall receive and hold the same for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Collateral Agent’s judgment), for application to any of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, if such Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Payee
that is a Loan Party agrees that until the Secured Obligations have been performed and paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not due and payable) and all commitments to extend credit under any Loan Document have expired or
been terminated, such Payee will not (i) assign or transfer, or agree to assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise) any
claim such Payee has or may have against any Payor, (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, discount or extend the time for payment of any Payor Indebtedness, or (iii) otherwise amend, modify,
supplement, waive or fails to enforce any provision of this Promissory Note. 
 The Secured Parties shall be third party
beneficiaries hereof and shall be entitled to enforce the subordination and other provisions hereof. 
 Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in any other Loan Document or in any such promissory note or other instrument, this Promissory Note shall not be deemed replaced, superseded or in any way modified by any promissory note or other instrument entered
into on or after the date hereof which purports to create or evidence any loan or advance by any Group Member to any other Group Member. 
 THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Group Members may become parties hereto by executing a counterpart signature page to this Promissory Note (each additional
Subsidiary, an “Additional Payor”). Upon delivery of such counterpart

signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Payor shall be a Payor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Payor were an
original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor hereunder. This Promissory Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor
that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor hereunder. 
 This Promissory Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
