“Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders (this “Agreement”). 

The Escrow Borrower has requested that the Lenders extend credit in the form of (a) Original Term Loans on the Closing Date, in an
aggregate principal amount not in excess of $1,800,000,000 and (b) Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date, which shall be available as Revolving Loans at any time on and after the Acquisition Date and from time to time prior to the Revolving

after the Acquisition Date in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $100,000,000, to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

Concurrently with the initial funding under this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Escrow Borrower will enter into the Escrow Agreement with

Escrow Account such additional amounts on the Closing Date and thereafter as required under the Escrow Agreement. The funds in the Escrow Account (all such funds, the “Escrow Funds”) will be released in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement and will be used, together with up to $75,000,000 of the Revolving Loans, on the Acquisition Date to pay Transaction Costs, Letters of Credit are to be issued on the Acquisition Date to replace or backstop Existing

including the financing of permitted acquisitions and other permitted investments. 
 Concurrently with the release of funds from the Escrow
Account on the Acquisition Date in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, ADS and ADS Holdings will execute the Joinder Agreement and the Escrow Borrower will merge with and into ADS. Upon the effectiveness of the Joinder Agreement,
(i) ADS shall assume all rights and obligations hereunder as the Borrower and (ii) ADS Holdings shall assume all rights and obligations hereunder as Intermediate Holdings. All references herein to the “Borrower”
shall be deemed to mean, prior to the Acquisition Date, the Escrow Borrower and, on and after the Acquisition Date, ADS.

and not jointly, (i) to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Original Term Loan Commitment and (ii) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or
after the Acquisition Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made on the Acquisition Date shall not
exceed $75,000,000. Within the limits set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or

 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 1, the
Initial Tranche B Lender agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower (a “Tranche B Term Loan”) on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Tranche B Commitment. The Tranche B
Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.02; provided that all Tranche B Term Loans shall on the Amendment
No. 1 Effective Date initially be Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period equal to the remaining Interest Period on the Original Term Loans immediately prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of
Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (c)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 2, (i) the Initial Tranche B-2 Lender agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower (together with each Loan converted
pursuant to clause (ii) below, a “Tranche B-2 Term Loan”) on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Tranche B-2 Commitment and (ii) each Converted Tranche B Term Loan of each
Amendment No. 2 Consenting Lender shall be refinanced with a Tranche B-2 Term Loan of equal principal amount of such Lender effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date; provided that the Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall initially
consist of Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period equal to the remaining Interest Period on the Tranche B Term Loans immediately prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tranche B-2 Term Loans may from
time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.02. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Tranche B-2 Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 

(d) (c) Each Lender having an Incremental Loan Commitment,
severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Loans to the
Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 

SECTION 2.02. Loans. 

(a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend 

  
 -44- 








 
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans
deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22, (x) the Loans comprising any Term Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments
and (y) the Loans comprising any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the
applicable Commitments. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08, 2.15 and 2.22, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or
Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided further that the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than twelve Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless
of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings. 
 (c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to
(i) Section 2.02(f) or (ii) Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22 (which Loans shall be made in accordance with Section 2.22), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that
such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees, and the Borrower agrees, to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for
each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the
time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the
Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 

  
 -45- 








 (f) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made
by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C
Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving
Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and (c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such
Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing and (ii) if such conditions precedent to borrowing
have not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower from their obligations to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly
pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that
any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made
such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender agrees,
and the Borrower agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. 
 SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In
order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.22(f), in each case, as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent
of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Term Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is
to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as
practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto;
provided that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any
such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the requested Borrowing.


  
 -46- 








 SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby further promises to pay to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 

Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and

received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 

(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the
event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or
more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. 
 SECTION 2.05. Fees. 

(a) From and after the Acquisition Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the
last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment
Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Acquisition Date or ending with the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes of

 -47- 








 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the
administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March,
June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein (if different from the last Business Day of one of the above mentioned months), a fee
(an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter
(or shorter period commencing with the Acquisition Date or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have
been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b) and (ii) to the Issuing Bank with respect to
each Letter of Credit (x) a fronting fee which shall accrue at the greater of (A) a rate equal to 0.125% on the average daily amount of the L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unpaid reimbursement obligations
pursuant to Section 2.23(e)) and (B) $500 per annum, in each case during the period from and including the Acquisition Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which
there ceases to be any L/C Exposure as well as (y) the customary issuance and drawing fees and the standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the “Issuing
Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as
appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, at all times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate

comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in
the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent 

  
 -48- 








 
permitted by law, all overdue amounts under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of
principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of
360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum. 
 SECTION 2.08.
Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (i) Dollar
deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, (ii) the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to the Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the Loans affected thereby of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period or (iii) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the
Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.09.
Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) The Term Loan Commitments (other than any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, which
shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall

in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, unutilized portions of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swingline Commitment; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Swingline Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000,
(iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and (iv) any such termination or reduction notice may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

 (e)
The Tranche B-2 Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the funding of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans to be made on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. 

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon delivery of an
irrevocable Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than
12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period
and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the
following: 
 (i) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the
Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), no ABR Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one
month; 
 (ii) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; 
 (iii) if less than all the outstanding
principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant
Type; 
 (iv) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of
such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being
converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; 
 (v) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time
other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16; 

(vi) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing; 
 (vii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing
by reason of the immediately preceding clause (vi) shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; 

(viii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Term Borrowing that would end later than a Term Loan Repayment
Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Term Borrowings comprised of Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, with


  
 -50- 








 
Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings comprised of Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as applicable, would not be at least equal
to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Term Loan Repayment Date; and 
 (ix) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan. 

Each Interest Election Request pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the identity and amount of
the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such
conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to
any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to
this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest
Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof),
automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. 

(a) (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such
date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the Term Loans other than Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Sections 2.11(b), 2.12, 2.13(e) and 2.26(d)) equal to the amount set forth below for such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Term Lenders, on
each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12 and 2.13(e)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. 

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the Term Loan Commitments shall be reduced or shall expire or terminate other than as a result of
the making of a Term Loan, the installments payable on each Repayment Date shall be reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such reduction, expiration or termination. 

(c) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans and Other Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date and the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, respectively, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. 

(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or
penalty. 
 SECTION 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three
Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least
one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount (x) with respect to Term Loans,
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case), (y) with respect to Revolving Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and
not less than $250,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case) and (z) with respect to Swingline Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $250,000 (or such lesser amount as
is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case). 
 (b) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied against the
remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.11 as directed by the Borrower (or, absent such directions, in direct order of maturity). 

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to 

  
 -52- 








 
prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further, that the provisions of
Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Sections 2.12(d) and 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 (d) Upon any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.12 in connection with a Repricing Event on or prior to the date that is 180 days after the Amendment No. 12 Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay a
prepayment fee of one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid or subject to such Repricing Event, as applicable. 

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or
prepay all of their outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in its sole and absolute
discretion with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings and Swingline Loans shall
have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to) Letters of Credit in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (b) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of
any Asset Sale occurring on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Asset Sale occurring on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition Date, not later than the third Business Day following the Acquisition Date), the Borrower
shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the Net Cash Proceeds of all Asset Sales prior to
the date of such sale, exceed $25,000,000 in any fiscal year. 
 (c) No later than the earlier of (i) 105 days after the end of each
fiscal year of Intermediate Holdings, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2013 and (ii) 15 days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a),
the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended minus (y) voluntary
prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.12 during such fiscal year and after the Acquisition Date, but only to the extent that the Indebtedness so prepaid by its terms cannot be reborrowed or redrawn and such prepayments do not occur in
connection with a refinancing of all or any portion of such Indebtedness. 
 (d) In the event that any Loan Party or a Restricted Subsidiary
shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or a Restricted 

  
 -53- 








 
Subsidiary (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.03), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and
in any event not later than the third Business Day next following or, in the case of any such issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness occurring after the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition Date, not later than the third Business Day following
the Acquisition Date) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(e). 

(e) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata between the Term Loans and the Other Term
Loans and applied in the case of the first four installments, in direct order of maturity and thereafter, pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans and the Other Term Loans under Sections
2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively; provided that such mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans; provided,
further, that if a Lender rejects its applicable share of such mandatory prepayments, then such mandatory prepayments shall be applied pro rata across ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans. To the extent the amount of any mandatory prepayment required
under Section 2.13(b), (c) or (d) exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, such excess shall be applied to permanently reduce the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments in an
amount equal to such excess. 
 (f) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under
this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment to be paid by the Borrower (other than in connection with a mandatory
prepayment under Section 2.13(c) to the extent such calculation is set forth in the compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(a)) and (ii) (other than in connection with a mandatory prepayment under
Section 2.13(a)) at least three Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof)
to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be
prepaid to but excluding the date of payment (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments). 

(g) The Borrower shall prepay all Original Term Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. 

(h) The Borrower shall
prepay all Tranche B Term Loans that are not Converted Tranche B Term Loans on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date. 
 SECTION
2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or the
Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than any Excluded Taxes, or any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under
Section 2.20) on or in respect of its loans, loan payments, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (iii) shall impose on such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of 

  
 -54- 








 
Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan (or, in the case of any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, any Loan) or increase the cost to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a
participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or
such other Recipient to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such
other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank
shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to
time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient or the holding company of either, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient to demand compensation for any increased costs or
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that
is 180 days prior to such request; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection
of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each other Recipient regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 

  
 -55- 








 SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any
Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such
Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an
ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require
that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. 

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such
Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 

SECTION 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of
any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on
the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after
notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment
required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of
such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in
redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata
Treatment. Except (a) with respect to an assignment of Term Loans to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to Section 9.04(l), (b) with respect to extensions of the Term Loan Maturity Date or the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date as provided in Section 2.27, (c) with respect to the prepayment in full of the Loans and termination of the Commitments of a non-consenting Lender as provided in Section 2.21, and (d) as provided
below in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans, subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required
under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit
Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall
have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each


  
 -56- 








 
outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in
accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage
of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. 
 SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees
that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C
Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other
Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding
as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided that (i) if any such purchase or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by
Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with an assignment of Term Loans to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a
Subsidiary pursuant to Section 9.04(l)) or (y) 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. The Borrower and, from and after the
Acquisition Date, Intermediate Holdings expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Intermediate Holdings and the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 SECTION 2.19. Payments. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense 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. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid
directly to the Issuing Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(e)) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at 60 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. 

  
 -57- 








 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of
or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
 SECTION 2.20.
Taxes. 
 (a) Issuing Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.20, the term
“Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by
or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or
withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. 
 (d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and
severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 2.20) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

  
 -58- 








 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; 
 (B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding, and such
other documentation as required by the Code; 
 (ii) executed originals of IRS 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 871(h)
or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form); or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form),
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents (or successor forms) from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership (and not a participating lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of each
such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable 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 law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) 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 

  
 -59- 








 
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 law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including 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, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and/or to determine
the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date. 

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
promptly update such documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.20(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any
documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If and to the extent
that a Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), 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 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed on the receipt of such refund) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any 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 in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 Tax to which the
refund relates had never been imposed and 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 any Loan Party or any other Person. 
 (h)
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments
Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. 
 (a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate
requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect
thereto to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan
Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is 

  
 -60- 








 
consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, (I) in the case of clause (iv) above, the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default
under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the relevant prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, prepay in full the Loans and, if applicable,
terminate the Commitments of such Lender, by paying to such Lender an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender, plus all Fees and
other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and, if in connection with an amendment or modification to this Agreement to effect a Repricing Event on or prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(d)); and (II) in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or
Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested
amendment, waiver or other modification); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) to the extent required under Section 9.04, which consents shall not
unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect
thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and, in connection with an assignment pursuant to clause (iv) above relating to an amendment or modification to this Agreement to effect a Repricing Event on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(d) (with such assignment being deemed to be a voluntary prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of Section 2.12(d)), such amount to be payable by
the Borrower); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under
Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital,
cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15 or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph
(b) below), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event, shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right
to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be
required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank 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 or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this
Section 2.21(a). 
 (b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any
Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect thereto to any Lender or the Issuing Bank 

  
 -61- 








 
or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not
require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden
deemed by it to be material) to assign its rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.20) and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if such assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or Section 2.20, would enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case
may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such assignment, delegation and transfer. 

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. 

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set
forth, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time on and after the Acquisition Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $30,000,000 or (ii) the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan (other than Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22(g)) shall be in a principal amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the
terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.22 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written
notice from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all
such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.08(b). 

(b) Swingline Loans. Other than with respect to Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22(g), the Borrower shall notify
the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by fax, or by telephone (promptly confirmed by fax), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business
Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the
proceeds of the Swingline Loan should be disbursed. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified in such request. 

(c) Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in
part, upon giving irrevocable written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date of
prepayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in Section 9.01. 
 (d) Interest. Each Swingline
Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a). 

  
 -62- 








 (e) Participations. The Swingline Lender may, by written notice referencing this
Section 2.22(e) given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion
of the Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) or (g) or upon the exercise of any of the
remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 7.01. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such
notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) (and in no event not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments by the Borrower in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the
Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may
appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof. 

(f) Mandatory Borrowings. The Swingline Lender may, by written notice referencing this Section 2.22(f) given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, in its sole discretion, require that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans;
provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) or (g) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last
paragraph of Section 7.01, in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all
Revolving Credit Lenders based on their Pro Rata Percentages and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby
irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in
writing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any Mandatory Borrowing made pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the 

  
 -63- 








 
Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a Mandatory Borrowing shall
be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have funded their obligations pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The refinancing of a Swingline Loan with a Mandatory Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower (or other Person liable for obligations of the Borrower)
of any default in the payment of such Mandatory Borrowing. Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified above, with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings
as set forth in this Section 2.22(f). 
 (g) Check Overdrafts. The Swingline Lender may also, in its sole and absolute
discretion and without regard to the minimum increments set forth in Section 2.22(a), make Swingline Loans to the Borrower by entry of credits to the Borrower’s operating account(s) with the Swingline Lender to cover checks which the
Borrower has drawn or made against such account and shall promptly (and in no event not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time on such day) provide written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of any overdrafts being advanced
as Swingline Loans and the date on which such Loans are made. The Borrower hereby requests and authorizes the Swingline Lender to make from time to time such Swingline Loans by means of appropriate entries of such credits sufficient to cover checks
then presented. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.22(g), the making of such Swingline Loans shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement as if they were
Swingline Loans covered by a request under Section 2.22(b) and the requirements that the applicable provisions of Section 4.03 (in the case of Swingline Loans made on the Acquisition Date) and Section 4.01 be satisfied. All actions
taken by the Swingline Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.22(g) shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error or such Swingline Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall be obligated to (x) acquire participations in any Swingline Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.22(g) in accordance with Section 2.22(e) and (y) fund a Mandatory Borrowing in connection with this
Section 2.22(g) in accordance with Section 2.22(f), as applicable; provided that prior to (i) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or (ii) the Swingline Lender terminating or suspending its obligations to
make Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender may deliver notice to the Administrative Agent requiring the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire such participations or fund such Mandatory Borrowing, as applicable, solely to the extent that the aggregate
principal amount of such Swingline Loans is at least $100,000. 
 (h) Additional Swingline Lenders. The Borrower may, at any
time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as a swingline lender under the terms
of this Agreement, subject to reporting requirements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to issuances, amendments, extensions and terminations of Swingline Loans by such additional swingline lender. Any Lender designated
as a swingline lender pursuant to this paragraph (h) shall be deemed to be a “Swingline Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Swingline Loans issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Swingline
Loan, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Swingline Lender and such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit on and after the Acquisition Date for its own account
or for the account of any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (in which case the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiary shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), which may be (x) in the case of a Letter of Credit for the
benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of 

  
 -64- 








 
credit, in a form customarily used by the Issuing Bank or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, and (y) in the case of a Letter of Credit for the benefit of
sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by the Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been approved by the Issuing Bank, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on and after the Acquisition Date, while the L/C Commitment remains in effect as set forth in Section 2.09(a). This Section 2.23 shall not be construed to impose
an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of
Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a
notice substantially in the form of Exhibit N requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter
of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Commitment, (ii) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate
L/C Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. 
 (c)
Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for
additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as
may be specified in such Letter of Credit) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations
under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of
Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

  
 -65- 








 (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement within one Business Day after the Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 and the prior notice requirements in Section 2.03 or 2.22(b), as applicable, request that such payment be financed with
(x) an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing in an amount equal to such payment or (y) subject to availability under the Swingline Commitment and the Swingline Lender’s consent to provide such a Swingline Loan, a Swingline Loan in an amount
equal to such payment, and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as applicable. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any
Loan Document; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other than payment of the relevant obligation in full in
cash) or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, a Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any
other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional
obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing
Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the Issuing Bank may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for 

  
 -66- 








 
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the
documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder
equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any
other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents
presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing
Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and
including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of such payment or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such
amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan. 
 (i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may
resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of such retiring
Issuing Bank. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor
Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all
the rights and obligations of such previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Borrower shall, on the Business Day the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of
Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account 

  
 -67- 








 
with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 102% of L/C Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such
cash will become effective immediately, and such deposit will become immediately payable in immediately available funds, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(f) or (g). Such
deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but
subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If
the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after
all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations as to which no claim has been made) the termination of all Commitments and the cancellation of all Letters of
Credit, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). 

(k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Acquisition Date with the consent of
the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, subject to reporting
requirements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to issuances, amendments, extensions and terminations of Letters of Credit by such additional issuing bank. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this
paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall
thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender. 
 (l) Letter of Credit Reports. To the extent any Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank are outstanding, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender) and the Borrower not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the end of
each calendar quarter and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, a written report substantially in the form of Exhibit M. 

SECTION 2.24. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the
written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender. 

(a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender,
hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in
respect of L/C Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in
an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

  
 -68- 








 (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.24 or Section 2.25 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Exposure
(including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the
applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.25 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank
may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall
remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.25. Defaulting Lender. 

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 
 (ii)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.01
or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder, third, to
Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.24, fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to
be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s
future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.24, sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any 

  
 -69- 








 
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any
Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C
Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments without
giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.25(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.24. 

(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such L/C Participation Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit
that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such L/C Participation Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the
Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such L/C Participation Fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to
the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure
following such reallocation. 
 (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation
described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal
to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.24. 

  
 -70- 








 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving
Credit Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or
on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New
Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

SECTION 2.26. Incremental Loans. 

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Acquisition Date, request (x) Incremental
Term Loan Commitments from one or more Incremental Term Lenders, all of which must be Eligible Assignees and (y) Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments from one or more Incremental Revolving Lenders; provided that the aggregate amount
of Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments so requested by the Borrower shall not exceed (i) the Incremental Loans Amount plus (ii) an additional amount if, at the time of (and after giving pro forma
effect at such time to) the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and the application of proceeds therefrom, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.75 to
1.00 (assuming all such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments were secured by the Borrower on a first lien basis, whether or not so secured, and all such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or
Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments were fully drawn on such date, whether or not so drawn). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000
and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Loans Amount with respect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become
effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice) (the “Increase Effective Date”) and (iii) with respect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such
Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”). 

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to
participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Loan Lenders in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Loan Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative 

  
 -71- 








 
Agent an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of each Incremental
Loan Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Assumption
Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitment and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments (without the consent of any other Lender); provided that: 

(i) the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be implemented as an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments and
the terms of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans; 

(ii) the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Term Loans, except, in the case
of Other Term Loans, as to maturity, interest rates, fees, amortization and call protection (which shall be subject to the following clauses (v) through (z)) and except as otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;
provided that unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, (v) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (w) the weighted average life to maturity of the Other Term
Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans, (x) if the All-in Yield on such Other Term Loans exceeds the All-in Yield applicable to Eurodollar Term Loans, by more than 50 basis points (the amount of
such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the
making of the Other Term Loans, (y) the Other Term Loans shall benefit from the same Guarantees as those of the Term Loans and (z) the ranking of the Other Term Loans shall, as determined by the Borrower (1) rank pari passu or junior
with the Credit Facilities in right of payment and (2) be unsecured or secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Credit Facilities (and, to the extent subordinated in right of payment or security to the Credit
Facilities, shall be subject to entry into a customary intercreditor arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Borrower); and 

(iii) to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are being increased on the relevant Increase Effective Date in connection
with any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the final allocation of such increase on the Increase Effective Date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. On the Increase Effective Date, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date
(“Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Credit Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Credit Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (“Post-Increase Revolving
Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender such participation interests in L/C Exposure outstanding on such Increase Effective Date, and purchase Revolving Loans from
Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders (or the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans of Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) and borrow Revolving Loans from Post-Increase Revolving Lenders)
pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent such that after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases and repayments and borrowings, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Exposure will


  
 -72- 








 
be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such
increased Revolving Credit Commitments. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under
this Section 2.26 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, and after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitment (assuming that the related Incremental Loans were drawn in full on such date), (w) the conditions set forth in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied, (x) Intermediate Holdings shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenant contained in Section 6.13 (assuming that the related Incremental
Loans were drawn in full on such date and regardless of whether Intermediate Holdings is otherwise required to comply with such financial covenant at such time), (y) the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable satisfaction that the full amount of the applicable Incremental Loan Commitments (assuming that the related Incremental Loans were drawn in full on such date) is permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of the Senior Notes and any
other material Indebtedness of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries then outstanding and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to the foregoing dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of
Intermediate Holdings and (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Loan Lenders) legal opinions,
board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Acquisition Date under Section 4.03. 

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as
may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding
Eurodollar Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to
ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the
other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under
Section 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata
basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Term Lenders were entitled before such recalculation. 

(e) The Incremental Loans and Incremental Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall constitute Loans and
Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the
Security Documents except to the extent otherwise provided in the Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement applicable thereto. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the Liens granted by
the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Incremental Loans or any such new Incremental Loan Commitments. 

  
 -73- 








 SECTION 2.27. Amendments Effecting a Maturity Extension. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: 
 (a) The Borrower may, after the Acquisition Date, by written
notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall forward such notice to all applicable Lenders), make an offer (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”) on a pro rata basis (x) to all the Term Lenders to make one or more
amendments or modifications to allow the Term Loan Maturity Date of such Extending Lenders (as defined below) to be extended (such extended date, the “Extended Term Loan Maturity Date”) and (y) to all the Revolving
Credit Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Extending Lenders (as defined below) to be extended (such extended date, the “Extended Revolving Credit Maturity
Date”), and, in connection with any such extension, to (i) in the case of an extension of the Term Loan Maturity Date, reduce or otherwise modify the scheduled amortization of the applicable Term Loans of the Extending Lenders,
(ii) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as applicable, of the Extending Lenders and the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Extending Lenders,
(iii) in the case of an extension of the Term Loan Maturity Date, to modify the prepayment provisions pursuant to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13(e) such that voluntary and mandatory prepayments are applied, first, to the Term Loans of non-Extending
Lenders and, second, to the Term Loans of Extending Lenders and/or (iv) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Extending Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not
otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 9.08) to be effective only during the period following the original Term Loan Maturity Date or Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable, prior to its extension by such Extending
Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested
Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days after the date of such notice). To the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders

(b) Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document made to effect any Permitted Amendment, or consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, that, by its express terms amends or modifies the rights or duties under this Agreement or such other Loan Document of the applicable Class of Extending Lenders that accepted such Permitted Amendment,
may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and the requisite percentage in interest of the applicable Class of Extending Lenders that
would be required to consent thereto under Section 9.08 as if all such Extending Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time. 

(c) This Section shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 9.08, it being understood, however,
that nothing in this Section shall impair or limit the effectiveness of any amendment effectuated in accordance with Section 9.08 (including, without limitation, any amendment effectuated simultaneously with any Permitted Amendment).

equity contribution is not made pursuant to the Cure Right), (iv) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, any financial ratio-based conditions or any baskets with respect to the covenants in this
Agreement other than the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.13 and (v) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for determining compliance with the financial covenant for
the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Amount is made.

collectively as the “Agents”)) to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to
authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform
such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its
respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

Duties.

or omitted by it or them 

  
 -111- 








 
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as,
and to the extent, provided for under Section 9.05. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any
other Person. 
 SECTION 8.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Intermediate Holdings, the
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Intermediate
Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the
holder of any Note 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or
the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or be required to make any
inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 
 SECTION 8.04. Certain Rights of the
Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by
reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from
acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.05.
Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or
other document or telephone message signed, sent or 

  
 -112- 








 
made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties
hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.06. Indemnification. To
the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective
“percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or
disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 

SECTION 8.07. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or
participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties
specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial
advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and
other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 

SECTION 8.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

 SECTION 8.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan
Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder
shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans
hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below. 

  
 -113- 








 (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall
appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the
Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists). 
 (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not
have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be
required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided above. 
 (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the
20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to
the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article VIII (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its
actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.10. Collateral Matters. 

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other
Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.
The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral
or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or
the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) upon the sale or
other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 6.04,Sections 6.04 and 6.05, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or
all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 9.08) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant documentation granting such Lien. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10. 

  
 -114- 








 (c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other
Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 8.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any
manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 
 (d)
To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Swingline Lender) or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.
Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.20, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any
and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other
Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form
was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or
replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. 

SECTION 8.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or
copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document,
instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person. 
 The Borrower hereby agrees, unless
directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to above has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, and will cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide to the
Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices, requests, financial statements,
financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, a notice pursuant to Section 2.10 or a notice requesting the issuance,

the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause the Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials
and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or their securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked 

  
 -116- 








 
“PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities
for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided that, to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked
“PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not
marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked
“PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit
Facilities; provided that each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate that is a Lender hereunder on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) it shall not have the right to receive information, reports or other
materials provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, except to the extent made available to the Borrower and (y) it will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent or access any electronic site established for the Lenders (notwithstanding that it may be granted access thereto by the Administrative Agent) or confidential communications from counsel or financial advisors of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders (it being understood and agreed, that notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II shall be
delivered directly to it). 
 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 Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may
contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED
PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE 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 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH
THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND
INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH
THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

  
 -117- 








 The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative
Agent at its electronic mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in
writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower or
Intermediate Holdings herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank. 
 SECTION 9.03.
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, Intermediate Holdings and 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. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors
and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, Intermediate Holdings, any Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders that are contained in this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 
 (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with notice to the Borrower (provided that failure to
provide or delay in providing such notice shall not invalidate such assignment) and, in the case of an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (in
each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that (i) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be (x) in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loans and (y) not less than $5,000,000 with respect to Revolving Loans
(or, in each case, if less, the entire remaining 

  
 -118- 








 
amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class); provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining
whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (ii) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the
Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that such fee (I) shall not be due in connection with any assignment of Commitments or Loans to or from any
Arranger or any of their Affiliates, (II) shall not be due in connection with any assignment by a Lender of Commitments or Loans to one or more Related Funds and (III) shall only be paid once in connection with multiple assignments made
contemporaneously by a Lender to two or more Eligible Assignees, and (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more
credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information
in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable Tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.14, 2.16, 2.20
and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. To the extent that the Borrower’s consent is not required for any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 (including with respect to any
determination of an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the definition thereof), the Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any such assignment on a weekly basis promptly following the effective date
of such assignment. 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee
thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of
any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are
as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of the Borrower or a Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(b) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v)

  
 -119- 








 
such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and
(vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in
The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, 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. 

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an
Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and, if required, the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). 

(f) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than a natural Person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and 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 Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments,
modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such Participant hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, extending any scheduled principal
payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Participant has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection
with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the Collateral). The Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.20
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that 

  
 -120- 








 
such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs
after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of
Section 2.21(a) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and
the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (g) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the
confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or
in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), 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 SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV 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. The making of a Loan by an SPV 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 (i) an SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the Granting Lender)) to the same extent as if the SPV were a Lender and
had acquired its interests by assignment, provided that neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall entitle such SPV to receive any greater 

  
 -121- 








 
payment under Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20, with respect to all or any part of a Loan, than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement
to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the SPV was granted such Loan, (ii) no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which (including,
without limitation, arising from the failure of such SPV to make a Loan hereunder) shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including approval of any consent, amendment, waiver or other
modification of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender hereunder. 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 SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency
or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV 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 SPV 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 SPV. 
 (j) Neither
Intermediate Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent
shall be null and void. 
 (k) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any Term Lender may, at any time, assign all or a
portion of its Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to a Fund Affiliate through open market purchases, subject to the following limitations: 

(i) each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such purchase and assignment, that neither
it nor any of its respective directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning Term Lender (other than
because such assigning Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be
expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Term Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate; 

(ii) Non-Debt Fund Affiliates will not have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided solely to
Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, except to the extent made available to the Borrower, and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent or access any
electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other
administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; 
 (iii) for
purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 9.08) or any plan of reorganization pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or
each affected Lender or 

  
 -122- 








 
does not adversely affect Fund Affiliates in any material respect as compared to other Term Lenders, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Term
Lenders that are not Fund Affiliates voting on such matter; and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws is not deemed to
have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) such that the
vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws); 

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Other Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant
to this Section 9.04(k) and held at any one time by (x) Non-Debt Fund Affiliates may not exceed 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all such Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Other Term Loans and (y) Fund
Affiliates may not exceed 49.9% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all such Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Other Term Loans; and 

(v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(l) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any Term Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans on
a non-pro rata basis to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary through Dutch Auctions open to all Term Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures, subject to the following limitations: 

(i) Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary (as applicable) shall represent and warrant as of the date of any
such purchase and assignment, that neither it nor any of its respective directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed
to the assigning Term Lender (other than because such assigning Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the
extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Term Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary (as applicable); 

(ii) immediately upon the acquisition of Term Loans from a Term Lender by Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary,
such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes (including under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise), be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished,
cancelled and of no further force and effect and Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and such Subsidiary (as applicable) shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such capital
contribution or assignment; 
 (iii) Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary shall not use the proceeds of
any Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans for any such purchase and assignment; 
 (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or would result from such assignment; and 
 (v) Intermediate Holdings shall be in
compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenant contained in Section 6.13 (regardless of whether Intermediate Holdings is otherwise required to comply with such financial covenant at such time).

 SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (i) incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Arrangers (and each of their respective Affiliates) in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated); provided, that
the Borrower shall not be responsible pursuant to this clause (i) for the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of more than a single primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline
Lender and the Arrangers (and each of their respective Affiliates) and more than a single counsel for each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), or (ii) incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers (and each of their respective Affiliates) or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection
with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders (and their respective Affiliates) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Borrower is informed of such conflict by the affected Lenders and such affected Lenders
retain their own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each group of affected Lenders, similarly situated, taken as a whole). 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of any environmental
consultant and one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an
actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Borrower is informed of such conflict by the affected Indemnitees and such affected Indemnitees retain their own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees,
similarly situated, taken as a whole) of any such Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Loan Parties, any of their respective subsidiaries or any property currently or formerly owned, leased or
operated by the Loan Parties, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors, including the Mortgaged Properties, except that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitees for any environmental
condition at any property to the extent negligently caused by an Indemnitee and clearly demonstrated by the Borrower as first occurring after any transfer of the property by foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure or (iv) any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether 

  
 -124- 








 
such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representative of any of the foregoing, in each case, acting at the direction of such Indemnitee,
(y) a material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision by such Indemnitee or (z) any dispute among Indemnitees (other than a dispute
involving claims against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, in each case in their respective capacitates as such). This Section 9.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Arrangers (or each of their respective Affiliates) under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Arrangers (or each of their respective Affiliates), as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Arrangers (or each of their respective Affiliates) in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata
share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender). 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any
Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank.
All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION
9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or Intermediate Holdings against any and all of the obligations
of the Borrower or Intermediate Holdings now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan
Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.25 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other 

  
 -125- 








 
funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative
Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify (x) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application and (y) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor promptly
after any such setoff and application pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE
SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF
CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE
“UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right
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 thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or Intermediate Holdings in any
case shall entitle the Borrower or Intermediate Holdings to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b)
No Loan Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of
any other Loan Document, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the
maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof or decrease the rate of interest on
any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees (or any premiums payable pursuant to
Section 2.12(d)) of any Lender without the prior written 

  
 -126- 








 
consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release
all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees or the Guarantors comprising all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees, or all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case without the prior written consent of each
Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPV
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPV, or (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it
being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments and
Revolving Credit Commitments on the Closing Date); provided that any such agreement to (x) change the provisions of Section 6.13 or the definitions of terms (or component terms thereof) to the extent used in Section 6.13 or
(y) waive or consent to any Default or Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 6.13, shall require the written consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Credit Commitments and shall not require the
consent of any Lenders other than Revolving Credit Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. 

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative errors or omissions, or to effect
administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the
Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans or Other Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche
(“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the
Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans immediately prior to such refinancing, (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans
shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less
favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of
the Refinanced Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or
participation in such L/C Disbursement 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 or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation 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 

  
 -127- 








 
payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender
in respect of other Loans or participations 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 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Unless otherwise specified therein, any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereunder (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION
9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

 SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) Each of Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City and New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any proceeding, claim, controversy,
dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, Intermediate Holdings, any Guarantor or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each of Intermediate Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION
9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank 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’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, and any numbering, administration or settlement service providers (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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, such Person agrees, except with respect to regulatory examinations, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Borrower promptly of any such request), (c) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the
enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (d) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its
