to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred (x) in the case of any leverage-based ratio, on the last day of the
applicable Test Period and (y) in the case of any cash interest 

  
 -117- 













 
coverage ratio or fixed charge coverage ratio, on the first day of the applicable Test Period. 

(e)    Subject to Section 1.07(e) and (f), the interest on any Indebtedness and dividends or
distributions on any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case, assumed to be outstanding pursuant to preceding clause (d) shall be calculated as if such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had borne interest or
accrued dividends or disbursements at (x) the rate applicable thereto, in the case of fixed rate Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or (y) the rates which would have been applicable thereto during the respective period
when same was deemed outstanding, in the case of floating rate Indebtedness (although interest expense with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual
rates applicable thereto while same was actually outstanding); provided that all Indebtedness (whether actually outstanding or deemed outstanding) bearing interest at a floating rate of interest shall be tested on the basis of the rates applicable
at the time the determination is made pursuant to said provisions. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be
the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with IFRS. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed with a pro forma basis
shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in Section 1.05(a). Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor
of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate. 

1.06.    Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection
with any calculation made on a Pro Forma Basis), if the terms of this Agreement require (i) compliance with any financial ratio or financial test (including any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test,
but excluding any determination of Excess Availability for purposes of Payment Conditions on borrowing Availability) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, (ii) accuracy of any representation or warranty and/or
the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of default or event of default) or (iii) compliance with any basket, as a condition to (A) the consummation of any transaction (including in connection with any acquisition or
similar Investment or the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness) and/or (B) the making of any Restricted Payment (including any Restricted Debt Payment), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the
election of the Borrower, (1) in the case of any acquisition or similar Investment or any disposition and any transaction related thereto, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at
the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, Investment or disposition (or, solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies,
the date on which a “Rule 2.7 

  
 -118- 













 
Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer) or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, Investment, disposition or related transaction, (2) in the case of any Dividend, at
the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Dividend or (y) the making of such Dividend and (3) in the case of any Restricted Debt
Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended Test Period at the time of) (x) delivery of notice with respect to such Restricted Debt Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Debt
Payment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant acquisition or similar Investment, disposition, Restricted Payment and/or Restricted Debt Payment or other transaction on a Pro Forma Basis (including, in each case, giving effect to the
relevant transaction, any relevant Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof) and, at the election of the Borrower, giving pro forma effect to other prospective “limited conditionality” acquisitions or similar
Investments for which definitive agreements have been executed, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of an adverse change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such election is
made (but any subsequent improvement in the applicable financial ratio or test may be utilized by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower shall have elected the option set forth in clause (x) of
any of the preceding clauses (1), (2) or (3) in respect of any transaction, then the Borrower shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the
Borrower’s election of such option. The provisions of this Section 1.06 shall also apply in respect of the incurrence of any Additional Incremental Tranche. 

1.07.    Accounting Terms; IFRS; Other Interpretative Provisions, etc.. (a) All financial statements to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in accordance with IFRS as in effect from time to time and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature that are used in calculating the Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total Assets shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with IFRS, as in effect from time to time; provided that
(A) if any change to IFRS or in the application thereof (including the conversion to U.S. GAAP as described below) is implemented after the date of delivery of the financial statements described in Section 9.05(a) and/or there is any
change in the functional currency reflected in the financial statements or (B) if the Borrower elects or is required to report under U.S. GAAP, the Borrower or the Required Lenders may request to amend the relevant affected provisions hereof
(whether or not the request for such amendment is delivered before or after the relevant change or election) to eliminate the effect of such change or election, as the case may be, on the operation of such provisions and (x) the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to enter into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (it being understood that no amendment or similar fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
therewith) to preserve the original intent thereof in light of the applicable change or election, as the case may be and (y) the relevant affected provisions shall be interpreted on the basis of IFRS and the currency, in each case, as in effect
and applied immediately prior to the applicable change or election, as the case may be, until the request for amendment has been withdrawn by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, as applicable, or this Agreement has been amended as


  
 -119- 













 
contemplated hereby. Any consent required from the Administrative Agent with respect to the foregoing shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraph (a) above or in the definition
of “Capitalized Lease Obligations”, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of IFRS in effect as of January 1, 2018 shall continue to be
accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date)
notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capital lease obligations or otherwise accounted for as liabilities in financial statements. 

(c)    For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by
the terms of the Credit Documents requires a calculation of any financial ratio or financial test (including the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Total
Assets), subject to Section 1.06, such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or financial test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case
may be. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Borrower
otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amount incurred hereunder, under any Term Loan Facility, under any Additional Revolving Facility or under any other permitted revolving facility or any amounts incurred or transactions
entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test)
(any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio
or financial test (including any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test and/or any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (1) the incurrence of the
Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (2) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount
shall be calculated thereafter. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Borrower prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then
available to the Borrower. 
 (e)    The principal amount of any
non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount 

  
 -120- 













 
thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with IFRS. 

(f)    The increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion
of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the
exchange rate of any applicable currency will be deemed not to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 11.01. 

(g)    For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 11.01 and 11.04, if any Indebtedness or Lien is
Incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, and any refinancing or replacement thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets to be exceeded if calculated based on the
Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets will be deemed not to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness or other
obligation does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness or other obligation being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including
tender, prepayment or repayment premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing
or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 11.04 (which additional amounts shall be deemed incurred under and a utilization of such other
provision of Section 11.04 pursuant to which they are permitted to be incurred). 
 (h)    Any
financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the
other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is
no nearest number). 
 1.08.    Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires. 

1.09.    Timing of Payment and Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant,
duty or obligation is stated to be due or required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension 

  
 -121- 













 1.10.    Divisions. For all purposes under the
Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right,
obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been
organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time. 

1.11.    Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including any
provision for, reference to, or acknowledgement of, any Lien or Permitted Lien), nothing herein shall be construed as or deemed to constitute a subordination of any Lien held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
or of any Security Document granted in favour of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in favour of any other Lien or Permitted Lien of any third party or any holder of any such Lien or Permitted Lien, except where
expressly agreed in writing between the Collateral Agent and the holder of such third party Lien, including without limitation, an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 2.    Amount and Terms of Credit. 

2.01.    Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Initial Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans (each, an
“Initial Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower. After the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any applicable Refinancing
Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, as applicable, each Appropriate Lender with an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment of a given Tranche, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Additional Revolving Loans of such
Tranche to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans shall not exceed for any such Appropriate Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Additional Revolving Loan Commitment of such Tranche of such Appropriate Lender as set forth in the applicable
Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Facility Amendment, as applicable. Revolving Loans of any Tranche (i) shall be denominated in an Available Currency, (ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and
maintained as, and/or converted into, one or more Borrowings of (x) Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10, all
Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed for any such Lender at any time outstanding that
Dollar Amount which, when added to the product of (x) such Lender’s RL Percentage under such Tranche and (y) the sum of (I) the Dollar Amount of the Revolving Loans of such Lender under such Tranche plus all Letter of Credit
Outstandings under such Tranche (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings under such Tranche which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans


  
 -122- 













 
under such Tranche) at such time and (II) the Dollar Amount of all Swingline Loans under such Tranche (exclusive of Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously
with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender under such Tranche at such time, (v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any
Lender in any instance where after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Loans, the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches would exceed Availability, and (vi) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be
made) by any Lender in any instance where after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Loans, the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under such Tranche would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to such Tranche.

 (b)    Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to
make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to
the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, (ii) shall be denominated in an Available Currency, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in
accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) when combined with the Dollar Amount of all Revolving Loans and all Swingline Loans then outstanding and all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, shall not exceed the Availability at such time
and (v) when combined with the Dollar Amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, shall not exceed the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(b), the Swingline Lender shall not
make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit 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 by the Required Lenders. 

(c)    On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders
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 12.01(e) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 12), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting (x) in the case of
U.S. Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans, Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be
made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph
of Section 12) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby 

  
 -123- 













 
irrevocably 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 Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in
Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the Availability at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any
reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the
date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans
as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 12), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent
attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to
pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the Overnight Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, hereunder for each day thereafter. 

(d)    If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments at
a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Loan Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date, then on the earliest occurring Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there
shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest Maturity Date (after giving effect to any
repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking participations as contemplated in Section 3.04), no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom and there shall exist
sufficient unutilized Extended Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date, then there shall be an
automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Commitments, and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in
full on such earliest Maturity Date (provided that the 

  
 -124- 













 
Swingline Expiry Date has been extended to such later Maturity Date, in accordance with this Agreement). 

2.02.    Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. Except during a Dominion Period, the aggregate principal amount of each
Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than (x) five
Borrowings of LIBOR Loans in the aggregate and (y) 5 Borrowings of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans in the aggregate. 

2.03.    Notice of Borrowing. 

(a)    Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans hereunder, the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Days’ prior notice of each LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and
Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice at the
Notice Office at on the Business Day on which each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan is to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before
11:00 A.M. (Toronto time) on such day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed
in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1 (which notice may be delivered through the Administrative Agent’s electronic platform or portal), appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available Currency), (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans, whether the Loans
being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto and (iv) in the case of
Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans, whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Canadian CDOR Rate Loans and, if Canadian CDOR Rate
Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Appropriate Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Appropriate Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other
matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as (x) in the case of
U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans, Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans
in a Notice of Borrowing but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

(b)    (1) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the
Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (Toronto 

  
 -125- 













 
time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice
shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available
Currency). 
 (2)    Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with the
Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(c). 

(c)    Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic
notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the
Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error. 

(d)    All Borrowing requests which are not made on-line via the
Administrative Agent’s electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless the Administrative Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such Borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) the Administrative
Agent’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Loan. 

2.04.    Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (Toronto time) on the date specified in each
Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 1:00 P.M. (Toronto time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (Toronto time)
on the date specified in Section 2.01(c)), each Appropriate Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case
of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars (in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans) or Canadian Dollars (in the case of Canadian Dollar
Denominated Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower
at its Designated Account, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Appropriate Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such 

  
 -126- 













 
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount, subject to Section 2.19. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Appropriate Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Appropriate Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Appropriate Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to (i) if recovered from such Appropriate Lender, the Defaulting Lender Rate, and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing
in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

 2.05.    Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans
made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the
“Revolving Notes”), and (iv) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks
appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”). 
 (b)    Each
Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans
evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner
impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Credit Document Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way
affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding
clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any 

  
 -127- 













 
of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans. 

2.06.    Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal
to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche)
of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10, LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of
an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, (iii) Canadian CDOR Rate Loans
may be converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such
Canadian CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (iv) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Canadian Prime Rate Loans may only be converted into Canadian CDOR Rate
Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and (v) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans than is
permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (Toronto time) at least (x) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into
LIBOR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans in Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans and Canadian CDOR Rate Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans,
one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so
converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each
Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. If the Borrower requests a conversion to LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans in any Notice of Conversion/Continuation but fails to specify an Interest Period, it
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 2.07.    Pro Rata Borrowings. All
Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement (other than Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans
hereunder.

Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan to a Canadian CDOR Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Prime Rate.

Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian CDOR Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin during such Interest Period plus the Canadian CDOR Rate for such
Interest Period. 
 (e)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
Section 12.01(a), all overdue amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on
past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(f)    Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate

Canadian CDOR Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 
 2.09.    Interest Periods. At the time the
Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to
11:00 A.M. (Toronto time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect
the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, three, six or, if approved by each Appropriate Lender, twelve month
period or (y) if agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, such other period not to exceed one-month, provided that (in each case): 

(i)    all LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, comprising a Borrowing shall at all
times have the same Interest Period; 
 (ii)    the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or
Canadian CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable) and each Interest Period
occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; 

(iii)    if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan begins on a day for which there
is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; 

(iv)    if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day, such Interest 

  
 -130- 













 
Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; 

(v)    unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a
Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and 
 (vi)    no Interest Period in respect of any
Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; 
 If by 11:00 A.M. (Toronto time) on
the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, (x) the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be
applicable to such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable,
effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period and (y) the Borrower requests a continuation of LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans in any Notice of Conversion/Continuation but fails to specify an Interest Period, it
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 2.10.    Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

 (a)    Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate and Canadian CDOR Rate. 

(i)    The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a
prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs (other than Taxes which shall be governed by Section 5.04), in
each case, due to Change in Law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost
of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall
transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due
under this Section 2.10. 

  
 -131- 













 (ii)    In the event that any change in market
conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding
or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate or Canadian CDOR Rate, as applicable, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day
of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, as applicable, and interest upon the LIBOR Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and interest upon the Canadian
CDOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (z) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Borrowings at the LIBOR Rate or Canadian CDOR Rate, as applicable,
until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. 

(iii)    Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent, nor
any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate or Canadian CDOR Rate. 

(b)     If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any
Applicable Law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for
the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act
reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10 shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in
reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided that a Lender shall not demand compensation for any increased costs pursuant to a change if it shall not be the


  
 -132- 













 
general policy of such Lender to demand such compensation under equivalent provisions in other credit agreements. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the
Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a
change after the Closing Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10). 

2.11.    Compensation. In connection with each LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall
indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment or required assignment of any principal
of any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan or Canadian CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs,
or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. 

2.12.    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of or increased payment under Section 2.10 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another
lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 5.04. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. 

2.13.    Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or indemnified Taxes in excess of those being generally charged by
the other 

  
 -133- 













 
Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required
Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 14.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such
Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of
which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: 
 (i)    at the
time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.04(b)
to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Revolving
Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case all participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount
equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to)
such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 (other than pursuant
to Section 4.01(b)), (y) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or the Underlying Issuer (including as an Issuing
Lender’s agent) (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an
amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and 

(ii)    all obligations of the Borrower then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically
described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Sections 2.11 and 4.01(b)) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender
concurrently with such replacement. 
 Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and
Assumption 

  
 -134- 













 
Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 14.04. Upon the execution of the respective
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and, if so requested by
the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except
with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. 

2.14.    Incremental Commitments. 

(a)    The Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility
Amendment, increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (each such increase, an “Incremental Increase”) by (x) adding an additional last-out Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments that is
otherwise identical to each then-existing Tranche except for the items specified in clause (a)(iv) below (each, an “Additional Incremental Tranche”) or (y) increasing the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan
Commitments of any then-existing Tranche (each, an “Increased Incremental Tranche”; and any such Additional Incremental Tranche or Increased Incremental Tranche, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”; and the loans
thereunder, “Incremental Loans”; and the Revolving Loan Commitments (or term loan) in respect thereof, each, an “Incremental Commitment” and any Additional Incremental Tranche or Increased Incremental Tranche
made on a last-out basis, a “Last-Out Incremental Tranche”) in an aggregate amount, together with all prior Incremental Revolving Facilities then in effect,
not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that 
 (i)    unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise agrees, no Incremental Commitment may be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount (or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree); 

(ii)    except as separately agreed from time to time between the Borrower and any Lender, no Lender shall
be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide such Revolving Loan Commitments shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer
the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Revolving Facility); 
 (iii)    no
Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of such Incremental
Revolving Facility or Incremental Loan; 
 (iv)    the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility
established as an Additional Incremental Tranche shall be identical to the terms applicable to all 

  
 -135- 













 
existing Tranches except that (A) such Additional Incremental Tranche shall rank junior in right of payment and/or security to any then-existing Tranche of Revolving Loans as provided in
clause (vii)(A) below, (B) the scheduled final maturity date of such Additional Incremental Tranche shall be no earlier than (but may be later than) the then-existing Tranches of Revolving Loans, (C) the effective yield (and the components
thereof) and unused commitment fees applicable to any Additional Incremental Tranche may be determined by the Borrower and the lender or lenders providing such Additional Incremental Tranche, (D) additional structuring, upfront and arranger and
other similar fees may be paid to the lenders and/or arrangers providing such Additional Incremental Tranche and (E) such Additional Incremental Tranche may be structured as a term loan; 

(v)    the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility established as an Increased Incremental Tranche
shall be identical to those applicable to the applicable then-existing Tranche (except with respect to structuring, commitment and arranger fees and other similar fees); 

(vi)    no Incremental Revolving Facility may have a final maturity date earlier than (or require scheduled
amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to) the Latest Maturity Date; 
 (vii)    (A) each
Increased Incremental Tranche shall rank pari passu with the Tranche of Revolving Loans being increased both in right of payment and in security, (B) any Last-Out Incremental Tranche shall rank junior to
any then-existing Tranche of Revolving Loans in right of payment and/or security (and to the extent the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility is junior to or subordinated to any then-existing Tranche of Revolving Loans in right of payment or
security, it shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) and (C) no Incremental Revolving Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a Credit Party or (y) secured by Liens on any assets other than the
Collateral; 
 (viii)    except in the case of any Additional Incremental Tranche the proceeds of which
are to be used to consummate “limited conditionality” acquisitions (in which case no Event of Default under Section 12.01(a) or (e) shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Additional Incremental Tranche),
(A) no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Facility and (B) the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of any such Increased Incremental Tranche with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Increased Incremental
Tranche; provided that to the extent that any representation and warranty specifically refers to a given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date or for such period; 

  
 -136- 













 (ix)    to the extent more than one Tranche exists after
giving effect to any such Incremental Revolving Facility, (x) the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on the Credit Facilities (and related outstandings) and (2) repayments required
upon the Maturity Date of any Credit Facility) of Revolving Loans with respect to any Tranche after the effective date of such Incremental Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Tranches (other than an Additional Incremental
Tranche), (y) all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders (other than any Lender in respect of an Additional Incremental Tranche) and (z) repayment of
Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction and termination of Revolving Loan Commitments under, any Tranche (other than a Last-Out Incremental Tranche) after the effective date of such Incremental
Commitment shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Tranches (other than an Last-Out Incremental Tranche); 

(x)    no Last-Out Incremental Tranche the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date of which is later than the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall be effective as to the obligations of any Swingline Lender to make any Swingline Loans or any Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of such
Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and, in the absence of such consent, all references herein to Latest Maturity Date shall be determined, when used in reference to such Swingline
Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, without giving effect to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date of such Last-Out Incremental Tranche); and 

(xi)    the proceeds of any Incremental Revolving Facility may be used for working capital, Capital
Expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including Permitted Payments, Restricted Payments, Investments, Permitted Acquisitions, Restricted Debt Payments and any other purpose, in each case, not
prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents). 
 (b)     Incremental Commitments may be provided by
any existing Lender, or by any other Eligible Transferee (any such other Eligible Transferee being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender shall
have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Additional Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 14.04(b) for an assignment of
Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans to such Additional Lender. 
 (c)    Each Lender or
Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility


  
 -137- 













 
Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, (i) each
Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, (ii) all Incremental Commitments shall become Revolving Loan Commitments for all purposes in connection with the Agreement and (iii) all
Incremental Loans shall become Revolving Loans for all purposes in connection with this Agreement. 

(d)    As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility or the making of
any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its reasonable request, the Administrative Agent shall have received customary written opinions of counsel consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 6 or delivered from time to time
pursuant to Section 10.12 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a Change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), as well as such reaffirmation
agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the
Administrative Agent and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent and applicable Additional Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such
Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Loans and (iv) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower signed by an Authorized Officer thereof: 

(i)    certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrower
approving or consenting to such Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Loans, and 
 (ii)    to
the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(viii) above has been satisfied. 
 (e)
    If any Incremental Revolving Facility is implemented by an Increased Incremental Tranche (i) each then-existing Lender (other than a Lender in respect of an Additional Incremental Tranche) immediately prior to such
increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender under the applicable Increased Incremental Tranche, and each such Additional Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assumed a portion of such existing Lender’s participations hereunder in any outstanding Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans, and Mandatory Borrowings such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all
of the Lenders’ (other than a Lender in respect of an Additional Incremental Tranche) (including each Additional Lender’s) (x) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Mandatory Borrowings shall be held on a
pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14) and (y) the existing Lenders of the applicable Tranche
shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Lenders of such Tranche (including 

  
 -138- 













 
the Additional Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility)
shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders of such Tranche participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments of
such Tranche (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained
elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (e). 

(f)    On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, all dollar thresholds included
in any determination made with respect to Excess Availability shall be increased automatically in a Dollar Amount equal to the percentage by which the Incremental Commitments increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. 

(g)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental
Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Credit Document with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Loans or commitments
increased or extended pursuant to this Section 2.14 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment or increase, as
applicable, of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. All such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. 
 (h)    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or in any other provision of any Credit Document, if the proceeds of any Last- Out Incremental Tranche are intended to be applied to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment and
the lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (including the making and accuracy of Specified
Representations as conformed for such Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment). 

(i)    This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 14.06 or 14.12 to the
contrary. 
 2.15.    Extensions of Loans and Commitments. 

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an
“Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Revolving Loans of any Tranche or Revolving Loan Commitments of any Tranche, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the respective Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments of such Tranche) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower 

  
 -139- 













 
is hereby permitted from time to time to consummate transactions with any individual Lender who accepts the terms contained in the relevant Extension Offer to extend the Maturity Date of all or a
portion of such Lender’s Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments of such Tranche and otherwise modify the terms of all or a portion of such Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant
Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings); but, for greater certainty, except as permitted by Section 2.14, no
Extension Offer shall offer an increase in the existing Revolving Loan Commitments of any Lender or provide for any overadvances or other non-pro rata increase in the principal amount of Revolving Loans
thereunder (whether by way of payment in kind, premium or otherwise)) (each, an “Extension”); it being understood that any Extended Loans shall constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Loans from the Tranche of Revolving Loans
from which they were extended and any Extended Commitments shall constitute a separate Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from the Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from which they were extended, so long as the following terms are satisfied:

 (i)    except as to (x) interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the
Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (y) terms applicable to such Extended Commitments or Extended Loans that are more favorable to the lenders of such Extended Commitments or Extended Loans than those contained in the Credit
Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Credit Documents on or prior to the effectiveness of such Extension for the benefit of the Lenders or, as applicable, the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment and
(z) any terms or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in each case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), as determined as of the date of such Extension), the commitment of any Lender that agrees to
an Extension (an “Extended Commitment”; and each Revolving Loan thereunder, an “Extended Loan”), and the related outstandings, shall be a revolving commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with
substantially consistent terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Lenders) as the Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments subject to the relevant Extension Offer (and related outstandings) provided hereunder; provided that to the extent
any non-extended portion of the Initial Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility then exists after giving effect to any such Extension, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for
(A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Credit Facility (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the existing non-extended Maturity Date of such Credit Facility and
(C) repayments made in connection with any permanent repayment and termination of Revolving Loan Commitments under such Credit Facility (subject to clause (3) below)) after the effective date of such Extended Commitments shall be
made on a pro rata basis with such non-extended portion of such Credit Facility (other than an Additional Incremental Tranche) or such non-extended portion of
such Additional Revolving Facility, as applicable, (2) all Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit shall be participated 

  
 -140- 













 
on a pro rata basis by all Lenders (other than Lenders in respect of an Additional Incremental Tranche) of the applicable Tranche and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans
with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Loan Commitments under, any such Additional Revolving Facility after the effective date of such Extended Commitment and prior to the Maturity Date of such Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
made on a pro rata basis with such non-extended portion of such Credit Facility (other than an Additional Incremental Tranche); 

(ii)    if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may
be, in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to
such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of
record) held by Lenders that have accepted such Extension Offer; 
 (iii)    unless the Administrative
Agent otherwise agrees, each Extension shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000; 
 (iv)    any
applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied or waived by the Borrower; and 
 (v)    all
documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing. 
 (b)    With respect
to any Extension consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) no such Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of Section 4.02, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 14.02 or 14.06 and
(ii) except as set forth in clause (a)(iii) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that the Borrower may, at its election, specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension
Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion) of
Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15
(including payment of any interest, fees or permitted premium in respect of any Tranche of Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement
(including Sections 4.02, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 14.02 or 14.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15. 

  
 -141- 













 (c)    No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be
required to effectuate any Extension, other than (x) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments under any Tranche (or a portion thereof), (y) with
respect to any Extension of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender to the extent the commitment to provide Letters of Credit is to be extended and (z) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Loan Commitments,
the consent of the Swingline Lender to the extent the swingline facility is to be extended (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). All Extended Loans and Extended Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof
shall constitute Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all other Credit Document Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. 
 (d)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter
into any Extension Amendment and such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new Tranches or sub-Tranches in respect of
Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches or sub-Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15. All such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders. As
a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment, upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower dated the date thereof signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying
and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving such Extension Amendment and certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in clause (a) above have been satisfied, and, to the extent reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 6 or delivered from time to time pursuant to Section 10.12 (other than changes to
such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and/or reaffirmation agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. 

(e)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five
Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including rendering timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable
administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be reasonably established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 2.15. 

  
 -142- 













 (f)    This Section 2.15 shall supersede any
provisions in Section 14.06 or 14.12 to the contrary. 
 2.16.    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a)    Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, including with respect to any Extraordinary Advances that were made by the Administrative Agent and that were required to be, but
were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking; fourth, as
the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that 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 Unpaid Drawings in
respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Unpaid Drawings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied
solely to pay the Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Unpaid Drawings owed to, that Defaulting
Lender. 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 2.16(a) shall be deemed paid to
and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

  
 -143- 













 (b)     if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of
Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i)    all or any part
of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent
(x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Individual RL Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all
Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual RL Exposure of
such Non-Defaulting Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; 

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be
effected, the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following written notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the unreallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure (without a permanent
commitment reduction) and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender the unreallocated portion such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii)    the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure; 

(iv)    if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting
Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL
Percentages; and 
 (v)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash
collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and 

(c)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(b) or Section 3, so
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, unless it is satisfied that the related 

  
 -144- 













 
exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.16(b), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(b)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold
such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.16(b) shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. If the
Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all other Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing) with respect to the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding
(other than cash collateralized or backstopped Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each applicable Issuing Lender), then, so long as no Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to
Section 2.16(b) shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. 
 2.17.    Reserves; Eligibility.

 (a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted
Discretion upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, establish or increase or decrease any Reserves (the “Reserve Change Notice”), which notice shall include a reasonably detailed
description of such Reserve being established (during which period (x) the Administrative Agent shall discuss any such Reserve or change with the Borrower and (y) the Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event,
condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve no longer exists or exists in a manner that would result in the establishment of a lower Reserve, in each case in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent);
provided that the determination of Availability in connection with any Notice of Borrowing delivered during such three (3) Business Day period shall be based on the Borrowing Base taking into account the effect of such Reserve Change
Notice. 
 (b)    The establishment or change of any Reserve pursuant to a Reserve Change Notice shall,
in each case, be limited to such reserves or changes as the Administrative Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion to be necessary (x) to reflect items that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value or collectability of
the applicable Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory or (y) to reflect items that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the enforceability or priority of the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the applicable ABL Facility
Priority Collateral; provided 

  
 -145- 













 
that no Reserves may be taken or increased after the Closing Date based on circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date and for
which no Reserves were imposed on the Closing Date, unless such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies shall have changed in any material adverse respect since the Closing Date as determined by the Administrative Agent in its Permitted
Discretion; provided that such requirements shall not apply (and no Reserve Change Notice shall be required), where such Reserve is a Banking Services Product Reserve, a Dilution Reserve, an Inventory Reserve, a Pension Contribution Reserve,
a WRAP Plan Reserve, a Sales Tax Reserve, the Great Lakes Reserve, a WEPPA Reserve, or a Tariff Reserve, which Reserves shall be effective when applicable in each case in accordance with the conditions specified herein for imposing such Reserve,
including the applicable conditions specified in clause (c) below. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) in no event shall Reserves (or changes in Reserves or the valuation of assets) with respect to any component of the Borrowing Base duplicate Reserves, valuation or adjustments already
accounted for in determining eligibility criteria (including collection and/or advance rates) or Appraised Value thereof (determined in a manner consistent with the most recent inventory appraisal provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 8.04(II)), (ii) the amount of any such Reserve (or change in Reserve) shall be a reasonable quantification of the incremental dilution of the Borrowing Base attributable to the relevant contributing factors or shall have a reasonable
relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such Reserve or change, (iii) Banking Services Product Reserves may be imposed by the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion; provided that if paid
after the principal amount of the Loans pursuant to the Pari Principal Waterfall Clause, no Reserve may be imposed in respect of Cash Management Obligations or Hedging Obligations, in each case without the prior written consent of the Borrower,
(iv) no Dilution Reserves shall be imposed except for an amount not to exceed 1.0% for each incremental whole percentage in dilution over 5.0%, (v) no Reserves shall be imposed for any scheduled pension contribution amounts, normal or special,
except for the Pension Contribution Reserve; provided that the maximum “special payments” (as such term is defined in the applicable Pension Matters Documents) under the DB Plans remain capped for a period ending no earlier than
January 1, 2038, in the aggregate, at Can$31,000,000 (or Can$36,000,000, if the WRAP Pension Plan is assumed by the Borrower in accordance with the applicable Pension Matters Documents), (vii) no Reserves shall be imposed for any rights under
s. 81.1 of the BIA or similar rights of unpaid suppliers, (viii) Reserves may be established for any wages, compensation, severance, workers compensation, or similar claims and will be limited to the portion which could rise to a super-priority
lien or effective priority under s. 81.4 of the BIA, ss. 6(5)(a) and 36(7) of the CCAA in relation to the Wage Earners Protection Program Act (WEPPA) (“WEPPA Reserve”); (ix) Reserves may be established for any HST, PST, QST or other
sales taxes and will be limited to amounts not paid or remitted when due only so long as Specified Excess Availability is less than the greater of (1) 6.25% of Availability and (2) $12,500,000 for five (5) consecutive Business Days
(“Sales Tax Reserve”); (x) except for the Pension Contribution Reserve and the WRAP Plan Reserve, no Reserves 

  
 -146- 













 
shall be imposed for legacy solvency or windup deficiencies or contributions not due and unpaid in respect of pension plans of the Borrower so long as the Borrower obtains the Pension Regulatory
Relief in respect of the Hourly Pension Plan and the Salaried Pension Plan; (xi) subject to clause (i) above, the Great Lakes Reserve may be imposed by the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion ; (xii) no Reserves shall be
imposed for Inventory on lands subject to the New PortLP Leases so long as the Inter-Lender Agreement is in full force and effect (and, for further clarity, no further access rights arrangements shall be required); and (xiii) the Tariff Reserve
may be imposed by the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion. 
 (d)    Any changes to the
eligibility criteria set forth in the definitions of Eligible Accounts, and Eligible Inventory shall be subject to 3 Business Days’ prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and shall have a reasonable relationship to the
event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such change in eligibility and shall not be duplicative of any other reserve established and currently maintained or eligibility criteria; provided that the determination of
Availability in connection with any Notice of Borrowing delivered during such three Business Day period shall be based upon the Borrowing Base taking into account the effect of such notice. 

2.18.    Protective Advances; Overadvances. 

(a)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document notwithstanding (but subject
to Section 2.18(d) below), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 are not
satisfied, the Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, the Borrower, on behalf of the
Lenders, that the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Credit Document
Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.18(a) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). In any event, if any Protective Advance remains outstanding for more than 60 days, unless otherwise agreed to by
the Lenders, the Borrower shall immediately repay such Protective Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base. The Administrative
Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances (other than Agent Extraordinary Advances, as defined below) may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders delivering written notice of such revocation to the Administrative Agent. Any such
revocation shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 

(b)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document notwithstanding, the Lenders
hereby authorize the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and either the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue


  
 -147- 













 
to make Revolving Loans (including the Swingline Loans) to the Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, the outstanding Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the Borrowing Base, and (B) subject to Section 2.18(d) below, after giving effect to such
Revolving Loans, the outstanding Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan balance shown on the Register for interest, fees, or expenses) does not exceed the Total Revolving
Loan Commitment. In the event the Administrative Agent obtains actual knowledge that the outstanding Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches exceeds the amounts permitted by this Section 2.18, regardless of the amount of,
or reason for, such excess, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan balance shown on the
Register for interest, fees, or expenses) unless Administrative Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case the Administrative Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as
promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders thereupon shall, together with the Administrative Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans to the Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of
reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. In any event, if any Overadvance not otherwise made or permitted pursuant to this Section 2.18 remains outstanding for more than 60
days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall immediately repay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances not otherwise made or permitted to this Section 2.18. The Administrative
Agent’s and Swingline Lender’s authorization to make intentional Overadvances (other than Agent Extraordinary Advances, as defined below) may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders delivering written notice of such revocation to
the Administrative Agent. Any such revocation shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. 

(c)    Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”)
shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, except that no Extraordinary Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Loan or a Canadian CDOR Rate Loan. Prior to Settlement of any Extraordinary Advance, all payments with respect thereto, including
interest thereon, shall be payable to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account. Each Lender shall be obligated to settle with the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.19 (or Section 2.16 with respect to any Defaulting
Lender, as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s RL Percentage of any Extraordinary Advance. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by the Administrative Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and
bear interest at the rate applicable 

  
 -148- 













 
from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no
Extraordinary Advance may be made by the Administrative Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches to exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or any Lender’s RL
Percentage of Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that the Administrative Agent may make Extraordinary Advances in excess of the foregoing limitations so long
as such Extraordinary Advances that cause the aggregate Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under all Tranches to exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or a Lender’s RL Percentage of Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments under
all Tranches to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments are for the Administrative Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender (“Agent Extraordinary Advances”). 

(e)    The provisions of this Section 2.18 are for the exclusive benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit the Borrower (or any other Credit Party) in any way. 

2.19.    Settlement. It is agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, that
settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 

 

	 	(a)	 Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly
basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of the Swingline Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swingline Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding
Extraordinary Advances, and (3) with respect to any Credit Party’s or any of their Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of
such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date
shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including
Section 2.16): (y) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s RL Percentage of the Revolving Loans
(including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as
such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender 



  
 -149- 














	 	 
shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its RL Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances), and (z) if the amount of
the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s RL Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such
Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its RL
Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the
applicable Swingline Loans or Extraordinary Advances and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loans or Extraordinary Advances representing the Swingline Lender’s RL Percentage thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders.
If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. 


  

	 	(b)	 In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and
Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s RL Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall, as part of the
relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by the Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by the Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of
Collateral. 


  

	 	(c)	 Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent Extraordinary Advances or Swingline Loans are
outstanding, may pay over to the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction
of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Extraordinary Advances or Swingline Loans. Between Settlement Dates, the Administrative Agent, to the extent no Extraordinary Advances or Swingline Loans are outstanding, may pay over to the Swingline
Lender any payments or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Swingline Lender’s RL Percentage of
the Revolving Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Swingline Lender’s RL Percentage of
the Revolving Loans other than to Swingline Loans, 



  
 -150- 














	 	 
as provided for in the previous sentence, the Swingline Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other
than a Defaulting Lender if the Administrative Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.16, subject to the last paragraph thereof), to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such
Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its RL Percentage of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent with
respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swingline Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily
amount of funds employed by the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable. 


 SECTION
3.    Letters of Credit. 
 3.01.    Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue or cause to be issued by an Underlying Issuer (including as an Issuing Lender’s agent), at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing
Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and 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 credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the
case may be (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars and shall be issued on a
sight basis only. If an Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Underlying
Issuer (which may include, among other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings or other arrangements that provide for reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such drawings
under Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Underlying Issuer for the account of the Borrower. By
submitting a request to an Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that (x) such Issuing Lender issue the requested Letter of Credit or (y) the Underlying Issuer of such Issuing
Lender issue the requested Letter of Credit (and, in such case, to have requested such Issuing Lender to issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit). 

(b)     Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it
will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 5th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower,
one or more Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings as are 

  
 -151- 













 
permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings of the types described above if at the time of such issuance: 

(i)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms
to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably
and in good faith deems material to it; or 
 (ii)    such Issuing Lender shall have received from the
Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b). 

3.02.    Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and
prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking) at such time would exceed either (x) the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the Dollar Amount of all Revolving Loans
then outstanding and (II) the Dollar Amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Excess Availability at such time and (ii) each Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued under any Tranche shall by its
terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (B) the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for such Tranche (although any such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertaking may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the date referred to in clause (B) unless 105% of the then-available Stated Amount thereof is cash collateralized or backstopped or other
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer have been made with respect thereto on or before the date that such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking is extended beyond the date referred to in
clause (B)). 
 3.03.    Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower
desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower 

  
 -152- 













 
shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof
(including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit A-3, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). 

(b)    The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by
the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party
or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertaking would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or Reimbursement Undertaking in accordance with
such Issuing Lender’s (or Underlying Issuer’s, if applicable) usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking or the respective modification or amendment
thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. 

(c)    The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking shall not be less
than a Dollar Amount of $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be. 

3.04.    Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any
Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit or
Reimbursement Undertaking, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan
Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 14.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, Reimbursement Undertakings and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall
be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the Incremental Lender and the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be. 

(b)    In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, no Issuing
Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be 

  
 -153- 













 
shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking appear to have
been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may
be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any
Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach on the part of such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 

(c)    In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertaking issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each
Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Available Currency in which such Letter of Credit
or Reimbursement Undertaking is denominated and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (Toronto time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertaking, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in the Available Currency in which such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking is denominated such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such
payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing
Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the Overnight Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to
Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date
required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment. 

(d)    Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has
received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in the Available Currency in which such Letter of


  
 -154- 













 
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking is denominated and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such
Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations. 

(e)    Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of
any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant. 

(f)    The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters
of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the
following circumstances: 
 (i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents; 
 (ii)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, any transferee of any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking (or any Person for whom any such
transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Reimbursement Undertaking, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking); 

(iii)    any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertaking proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv)    the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms
of any of the Credit Documents; or 
 (v)     the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 

3.05.    Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing
Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds into the Agent’s Account, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it
(each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later 

  
 -155- 













 
than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 12.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (Toronto time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but
excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Base Rate as in effect from time to
time and (y) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate as in effect from time to time, in each case, plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time
for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans, as applicable; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:30 Noon (Toronto time) on the third Business
Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, interest shall thereafter accrue
on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Base Rate as in
effect from time to time and (y) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate as in effect from time to time, in each case, plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving
Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans, as applicable; as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written
notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Each Drawing
under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking shall (unless (x) the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary, (y) the Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving
Loans set forth in Section 7, or (z) (i) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at such time exceeds 100% of the Borrowing Base at such time or (ii) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at such time exceeds the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment at such, in which case the procedures specified above in this Section 3.05 and in Section 3.04 for funding by the Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a) constituting (x) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in U.S. Dollars, Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Letters of Credit or
Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in Canadian Dollars, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case, in the amount of such Drawing, and the date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date of payment of the relevant Drawing (it being understood
that, in each such case, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof and the Lenders shall make available to the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof and the Lenders shall make available to the Administrative Agent
their pro rata portion of such Borrowing and the proceeds thereof shall be applied to reimburse the respective issuing Lender for such Drawing). 

  
 -156- 













 (b)    The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case,
interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may have or have had against any Lender
(including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the
beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a
result of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). 
 3.06.    Increased Costs. If at any time
after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender, any Underlying Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall
either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit or Reimbursement Undertakings issued by any Issuing Lender or any Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, or
participated in by any Participant, (ii) subject any Issuing Lender, any Underlying Issuer or any Participant to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes, and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on or with respect to Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings, commitments, or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto or (iii) impose on any Issuing Lender, any Underlying Issuer or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking; and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender, any Underlying Issuer or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by any Issuing Lender, any Underlying Issuer or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings, then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to
the Borrower by any Issuing Lender (for itself or on behalf of any Underlying Issuer) or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay
to such Issuing Lender or such Underlying Issuer or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Underlying Issuer or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable
or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender (for itself of on behalf of any Underlying Issuer) or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it (or to the Underlying Issuer, as the case
may be) 

  
 -157- 













 
pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender (for itself
or on behalf of any Underlying Issuer) or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender (for itself or on behalf of any Underlying Issuer) or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower. 
 3.07.    Provisions Related to
Extended Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Loan
Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the
Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any
Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking may be so reallocated) and to the extent any Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings are not able to be reallocated pursuant to this Section 3.07 and there are outstanding Revolving Loans
under the non-terminating Tranches, the Borrower agrees to repay all such Revolving Loans (or such lesser amount as is necessary to reallocate all Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings pursuant to
this Section 3.07) or (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking in a manner satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as the case may be, but only up to the amount of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking not so reallocated. Except to the extent of reallocations of
participations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the
percentage participations of the Lenders in any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued before such Maturity Date. 

3.08.    Conflict with Letter of Credit Request. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement,
any Letter of Credit Request or any other document related to issuing a Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, (i) in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Request or such other
document, the terms hereof shall control in all respects and (ii) any grant security interest pursuant to any Letter of Credit Request shall be null and void. 

SECTION 4.    Commitment Commissions; Fees; Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitment. 

  
 -158- 













 4.01.    Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender of any Tranche (other than a Defaulting Lender) a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Closing Date to and
including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date of such Tranche (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment for such Tranche has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage for
such Tranche multiplied by the daily average Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender for such Tranche as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment for such Tranche is terminated. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Commission only, no portion of the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result
of outstanding Swingline Loans. 
 (b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Lender of any Tranche (other than a Defaulting Lender) (based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage for such Tranche) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking (the “Letter of
Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, computed
at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for such Tranche as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans for such Tranche that are maintained as (x) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement
Undertakings denominated in U.S. Dollars, LIBOR Loans, or (y) in the case of Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings denominated in Canadian Dollars, Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, in each case, on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter
of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears in U.S. Dollars on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment for such Tranche upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. 
 (c)    The Borrower
agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings remain outstanding. 
 (d)    The Borrower agrees to pay to each
Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the
reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is 

  
 -159- 













 
generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit or Reimbursement Undertakings. 

(e)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as agreed to in the Fee Letter or
such other fees as may be agreed to in writing from time to time by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent. 

4.02.    Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving
Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of
$5,000,000 (or such lesser amount if it represents the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment) and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment,
provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender. 

(b)    In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by
Section 14.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding the payment of amounts
owing in respect of Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 14.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be
deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such
time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06), which shall survive
as to such repaid Lender. 
 (c)    Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 4.02 and Section 5.01 shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of (i) the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment or (ii) the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of a Lender, in each case, delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be


  
 -160- 













 
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied. 

4.03.    Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate in its entirety upon the applicable Maturity Date. 

(b)    Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this
Section 4.03 shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment. 

(c)    The Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be permanently and ratably reduced from time to time on the date
of each reduction of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 4.02(a) by the amount, if any, by which the amount that the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (after giving effect to such
reduction of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments). 
 SECTION 5.    Prepayments; Payments; Taxes. 

5.01.    Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or

Loans (or same day notice in the case of a prepayment of Canadian Dollar Denominated Swingline Loans) and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay
LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans or
Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans or Canadian CDOR Rate Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans, promptly
transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in a Dollar Amount of at least $500,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in
any given case) and (y) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in Dollar Amount of at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case),
provided that (x) if any partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the
Borrower shall have no force or effect and (y) if any partial prepayment of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant 

  
 -161- 













 
to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto,
then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of Canadian CDOR Rate Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the
Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. 

(b)    In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Sections 2.11), together with accrued
and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 14.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant
to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan
Commitments) and (y) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents, if any,
required by Section 14.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained. 

5.02.    Mandatory Repayments. (a) If on any Revaluation Date (after giving effect to the determination of
the Dollar Amount of each outstanding Loan, and Letter of Credit Outstandings), the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds the Availability at such time (an “Overadvance”), the Borrower shall prepay on such day the
Loans, in accordance with Section 5.02(e); provided that (x) if such Overadvance is caused solely by changes in the exchange rate of non-U.S. Dollar amounts, the Borrower shall prepay the
Loans within two Business Days and (y) no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this
paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of the Dollar Amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds Availability at such time, the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent into the Agent’s Account on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time),
such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent; provided that
(x) if such excess is caused solely by changes in the exchange rate of non-U.S. Dollar amounts, the Borrower shall pay an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a
maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time) 

  
 -162- 













 
within two Business Days and (y) no such excess shall result in a Default due to the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such excess remains outstanding
in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such excess. 

(b)    [Reserved]. 

(c)    [Reserved]. 

(d)    [Reserved]. 

(e)    (i) Subject to Section 12.02, any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02
shall be applied as follows: 
 (1)    first, to repay outstanding Extraordinary Advances to the full extent
thereof; 
 (2)    second, to repay outstanding Swingline Loans to the full extent thereof;  

(3)    third, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans (other than any Additional Incremental Tranche) to the
full extent thereof; 
 (4)    fourth, to repay outstanding Loans constituting an Additional Incremental
Tranche to the full extent thereof; and 
 (5)    fifth, to the Administrative Agent to be held in a cash
collateral account as security for all Letter of Credit Outstandings. 
 (ii)    Any prepayment of
Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Loans and Canadian CDOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to
be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11. 
 (f)    In addition to any other repayments or
mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 5, (i) all then outstanding Revolving Loans of any Tranche shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date for such Tranche and (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the
earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date. 

5.03.    Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this
Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (Toronto time) on the date when due and shall be made in the relevant Available Currency of
the underlying obligation in immediately available funds into the Agent’s Account. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the 

  
 -163- 













 
applicable rate during such extension. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice, to charge to the Borrower’s account with the
Administrative Agent all interest, fees and principal when due hereunder. 
 5.04.    Taxes.
Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder and under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by a 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, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any Other Taxes, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes. 

(c)    Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient
or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising there from or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender ’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect


  
 -164- 













 
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise
payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 

(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party
to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.04, such Credit 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 payments made under any Credit 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in
the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed
pursuant to or in connection with FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by 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 and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.04(f)(ii),


  
 -165- 













 
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it
shall update such form or certification or promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in
good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04), it shall pay to the appropriate Credit
Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund). Such Credit Party, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event
that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph
(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not
been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Credit Party or any other Person. 

(h)    Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.04, the term
“Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender. 
 (i)    Survival. Each
party’s obligations under this Section 5.04 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 Total Revolving Loan Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

warranty the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in this Section 7 and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that time. 

SECTION 8.    Collateral Account; Collateral Monitoring; Application of Collateral Proceeds. The
Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that on and after the Closing Date and until the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated and the Revolving Loans and Notes (in each case together with interest

thereunder, are paid in full: 
 8.01.    Collateral Accounts. 

(a)    The Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor hereby agree not to grant to any Account Debtor any
credit, discount, allowance or extension, or to enter into any agreement for any of the foregoing, without the Collateral Agent’s consent, except in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Borrower’s or such


  
 -174- 













 
Borrowing Base Guarantor’s customary practices and policies and as previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent. So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor may settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any Account Debtor. 

(b)    With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown on any invoice delivered to the Collateral
Agent or schedule thereof delivered to the Collateral Agent shall be true and complete in all material respects; and (ii) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate any Applicable Law or regulations, all documentation relating
thereto will be legally sufficient under such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

8.02.    Account; Cash Management. The Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor shall maintain a cash management
system as described on Schedule 8.02 attached hereto (including a list of all Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries ) (as such Schedule 8.02 may be updated in writing (i) by the Borrower to add
and/or remove Deposit Accounts (including any Blocked Account) or Securities Accounts of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date or (ii) to make such other modifications thereto, in each case as consented to by the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) (the “Cash Management System”), and which shall operate as follows: 

(a)    Except in connection with Excluded Accounts and the Term Loan Priority Collateral Proceeds Accounts,
on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, consent to in writing), the Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor will take all reasonable actions
necessary to deposit funds held by the Borrower or such Borrowing Base Guarantor (other than funds being collected pursuant to the provisions stated below, but including any proceeds of Revolving Loans that are not being utilized on the Closing Date
to finance the Transactions) in one or more Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts subject to the terms of the applicable Security Documents and applicable Control Agreements. 

(b)    Except in connection with Excluded Accounts and the Term Loan Priority Collateral Proceeds Accounts,
on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, consent to in writing), the Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its sole expense, and shall cause each
Borrowing Base Guarantor to establish and maintain, at its sole expense blocked accounts or lockboxes and related Deposit Accounts with Wells Fargo or one or more other banks reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent into which the Borrower and
such Borrowing Base Guarantors shall promptly deposit or transfer and direct their respective Account Debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other ABL Facility Priority Collateral in
the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner, and shall be identified and segregated from all other funds of the Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors (in each case, “Blocked
Accounts”); (it being understood that 

  
 -175-

to the Collateral Agent a Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such Credit Party where a Blocked Account for the benefit of the Borrower or any such Borrowing Base Guarantor is maintained, and by each bank where any such
Blocked Account is from time to time maintained. Except in connection with Excluded Accounts and the Term Loan Priority Collateral Proceeds Accounts, the Borrower and such Borrowing Base Guarantors shall not establish any Deposit Accounts after the
Closing Date into which payments on Accounts and payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other ABL Facility Priority Collateral are deposited, unless the Borrower or such Borrowing Base Guarantor (as applicable) have complied in full with the
provisions of this Section 8.02(b) with respect to such Deposit Accounts. 
 (c)    With respect to
the Blocked Accounts of the Borrower and such Borrowing Base Guarantors as the Collateral Agent shall determine in its sole reasonable discretion, the applicable bank maintaining such Blocked Accounts shall agree to forward daily all amounts in such
Blocked Account to one Blocked Account designated as no more than two concentration accounts (one for each Available Currency) in the name of the Borrower (collectively, the “Concentration Account”) at Royal Bank of Canada or Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A (or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) (the “Concentration Account Bank”), which on the Closing Date shall consist of accounts #04362-1003045 held with Royal Bank of Canada
(for Canadian Dollars) and #04362-4001616 held with Royal Bank of Canada (for U.S. Dollars). The Concentration Account Bank shall agree, from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from the Collateral Agent
(which Activation Notice may be given by the Collateral Agent at any time during a Dominion Period) pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement, to forward daily all amounts in the Concentration Account to the account designated as the collection
account (the “Collection Account”) which shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent (it being understood that prior to delivery of an Activation Notice the Borrower and such Borrowing Base Guarantors
shall have access to funds in the Concentration Account). 
 (d)    At any time that a Dominion Period is
in effect, except as otherwise provided herein, all collected amounts held in the Collection Account shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis by the close of business on each Business Day in accordance with Section 12.02 (in each case,
to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or outstanding as described below and any applications otherwise required to be applied pursuant to the terms of the respective Security Documents) or otherwise in such
order as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding
any provision of this Section 8.02 to the contrary, in the event that any Credit Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections of Accounts or proceeds of Collateral outside of the Blocked Accounts, such
proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Credit Party for the Administrative Agent and shall, not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, 

  
 -176- 













 
be deposited into a Blocked Account or the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Credit Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent. 

(f)    With respect to Qualified Cash, prior to becoming eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base, the
Borrower shall identify to the Administrative Agent in writing those Deposit Accounts in which Qualified Cash is to be maintained, deliver to the Administrative Agent fully executed Control Agreements with respect to such Deposit Accounts maintained
with third party financial institutions, and provided that the Administrative Agent shall have direct on-line access to monitor the account balances therein from time to time on a daily basis. 

8.03.    Inventory. With respect to the Inventory: (a) the Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor shall
at all times maintain records of Inventory reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and consistent with past practices of the Borrower. 

8.04.    Borrowing Base-Related Report; Field Exams and Appraisals. (I) (a) The Borrower shall
deliver or cause to be delivered (at the expense of the Borrower) to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent the items as set forth on Schedule 8.04 within the time periods prescribed therein. 

(b)    The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered (at the expense of the Borrower) to the
Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate, to be delivered within three Business Days after a Credit Party consummates (x) an Asset Disposition (other than Asset Dispositions of Inventory in the ordinary course of
business) to any Person (other than to a Credit Party) or (y) any disposition described in clause (29) of the definition of “Asset Disposition”, in each case of (x) and (y), of Eligible Accounts and/or Eligible Inventory
that are (or would have otherwise been) included in computation of the Borrowing Base (including the sale of any capital stock of any Credit Party or any Borrowing Base Guarantor ceasing to be a Credit Party, in either case, to the extent such
entity owns any Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory) with a value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) in excess of $5,000,000. Such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be prepared as of the last day of the preceding Fiscal Month calculated
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such disposition and setting forth the value of the Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory previously included in the Borrowing Base and disposed of in such disposition, together with, in each case, any
additional schedules and other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; 

(c)    The delivery of each certificate and report or any other information delivered pursuant to this
Section 8.04 shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the statements and information contained therein are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date. 

(II)    The Credit Parties shall cooperate fully with the Collateral Agent and its agents during all Collateral field
exams and Inventory appraisals which shall be at the expense of the Borrower; provided that no more than one collateral field exam and one inventory appraisal during any twelve month period following the Closing Date may be conducted at the
expense of 

  
 -177- 













 
the Borrower; provided, further, that (x) the Collateral Agent and its agents may conduct, at the Borrower’s expense, one additional collateral field exam and one
additional inventory appraisal during the continuance of a Dominion Period and (y) following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Specified Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and its agents may conduct, at the Borrower’s
expense, such additional collateral field exams and inventory appraisals as the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines are necessary or appropriate (but in no event more than three (3) times in any Fiscal Year (inclusive of
the collateral field exams and inventory appraisals referred to above), in each case, in scope and form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, from a third-party appraiser (satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) and a third-party consultant
(satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). 
 8.05.    Rescission of Activation Notice. Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of Section 8.02 to the contrary, after the Collateral Agent has delivered an Activation Notice and upon delivery of a certificate by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent certifying that no Event of Default
has occurred or is continuing and no Dominion Period is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall rescind the Activation Notice by written notice, as necessary, to the applicable Concentration Account Banks and any such other banks to which the
Collateral Agent had issued such Activation Notice and following such rescission the Cash Management System shall be operated as if no such Activation Notice had been given. 

SECTION 9.    Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to
make the Loans and issue (or participate in) the Letters of Credit as provided herein (and, on the Closing Date, solely to the extent required pursuant to Section 6), each Credit Party hereby make the following representations and warranties to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions: 
 9.01.    Company

and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its property or the conduct of its business requires

9.02.    Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Credit Documents. Each Credit Party has duly
executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability
thereof may be limited by applicable Legal Reservations (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). 

  
 -178- 













 9.03.    No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any Requirement of Law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of
any court or Governmental Authority, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to
create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or
loan agreement, or any other agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except in
the case of this clause (ii), as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of
formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents), as applicable, of any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

9.04.    Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or

Requirement), (y) in connection with the Perfection Requirements and (z) such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or other actions the failure to obtain or make which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect),

execution, delivery and performance of any Credit Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Credit Document.

(b)    The Projections delivered to the Lead Arrangers prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being recognized that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are
beyond the Borrower’s control, that no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections (including the Projections) will be realized, that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be
material). 

  
 -179- 













 (c)    Since the Closing Date, there have been no
events, developments or circumstances that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

9.06.    Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,

factual information (other than the Projections, the Model, other forward-looking or projected information, pro forma information and information of a general economic or general industry nature (including any reports or memoranda prepared by third
party consultants)) concerning Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Transactions and that was included in the Confidential Information Memorandum or otherwise prepared by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries or their respective representatives and made available to the Lead Arrangers or the Administrative Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the Closing Date, when taken as a whole, did not, when furnished,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving
effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time). 
 9.08.    Use of Proceeds; Margin
Regulations. 
 (a)    On the Closing Date, the Initial Revolving Facility may be used for the
Permitted Initial Revolving Credit Event Purposes. After the Closing Date, all proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans will be used for the working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its and any other Credit
Event Subsidiaries (including Permitted Acquisitions and the payment of Dividends). No proceeds of Swingline Loans shall be used to refinance outstanding Swingline Loans. 

(b)    No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin
Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions
of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors. 
 9.09.    Taxes. Except as set forth in Schedule 10.10,
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all Canadian or U.S., as applicable, federal Tax Returns and all material provincial, state, local and foreign Tax Returns or materials required to have

books adequate reserves in accordance with IFRS or (ii) which 

  
 -180- 













 
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has made adequate provision in accordance with
IFRS for all Taxes not yet due and payable. Each of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is unaware of any proposed or pending Tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, either individually or in the aggregate,
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 9.10.    Employee Benefit Plans. Except as would not, individually or in

valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, including the Mortgaged Property (other than Intellectual Property, which is the subject of Section 9.19), free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and minor
irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. Except as could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the property of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, 

  
 -182- 













 
taken as a whole, (i) as of the date hereof, is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required
for the business and operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as presently conducted.

Intellectual Property, which is the subject of Section 9.19) and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to such Credit Party’s business as currently conducted. No claim has been made and remains
outstanding that any Credit Party’s use of any Collateral (other than Intellectual Property, which is the subject of Section 9.19) does or may violate the rights of any third party that would, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 9.13.    Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.

and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under the applicable Security Document, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other Persons, except the security interest created by the applicable Security Document,
Liens securing the Term Loan Facility (subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) and Liens securing the New PortLP Facility, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or
similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests.

consent of any Person, including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary (other than those which have been obtained and remain in full force and
effect) is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the applicable Security Document or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in such Security Document or the exercise of remedies in respect
thereof.

Material on, at, in under or from any Real Property or facility presently owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their predecessors in interest, or to the knowledge of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, at any other property or facility for which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has responsibility, that could result in liability to 

  
 -184- 













 
the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law; and 

(iv)    (A) There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Restricted

Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries are in violation of or in default with respect to any Requirement of Law relating to employment in any manner which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, on account of wages, vacation pay and employee health
and welfare benefits, have been paid or, to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles, accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary except where the failure to do so, either individually or
in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union or employee
organization under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound.

individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim has been asserted in writing and is pending by any Person challenging or
questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity, ownership or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, in each case, except for any claim that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries know of any pending claim or any valid basis for any such claim. The operation by each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ respective businesses does not infringe
the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b)    Registrations. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

 9.20.    OFAC; Sanctions;
Anti-Corruption Laws; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Sanctions. No Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of such Credit Party, any director, officer,
employee, agent or Affiliate of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary (i) is a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, (ii) has any assets located in Sanctioned Entities, or (iii) derives revenues from investments in, or transactions
with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities. Each of the Credit Parties and its Subsidiaries has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with all Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money
Laundering Laws. Each of the Credit Parties and its Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of each such Credit Party, each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of each such Credit Party and each such Subsidiary, is in compliance with all
Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No proceeds of any Loan made or Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking issued hereunder will be used to fund any operations 

  
 -186- 













 
in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, or otherwise used in any manner that would result in a violation of any

under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, where such default, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default. 

9.22.    Solvency. As of the Closing Date, immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on such
date and the incurrence of Indebtedness and obligations on the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, (i) the sum of the fair value of the assets of the Credit Parties and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) will exceed their debts, (ii) the sum of the present fair salable value of the assets of the Credit Parties and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will exceed their debts, (iii) the Credit
Parties and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) have not incurred and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iv) the
Credit Parties and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will have sufficient capital with which to conduct their businesses. For purposes of this Section 9.22, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and
“claim” means (a) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (b) right
to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The
amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

 9.23.    Accuracy of Borrowing Base. At the time any Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered pursuant to this
Agreement, each Account and each item of Inventory included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base satisfies all of the criteria stated herein to be an Eligible Account and an item of Eligible Inventory, respectively.

required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.01(i) above in respect of information filed by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any securities exchange or with the SEC or any analogous government or private
regulatory authority with jurisdiction over matters relating to securities (other than Form 10-Q Reports and Form 10-K Reports), on which such items have been made
available on the SEC website or the website of the relevant analogous governmental or private regulatory authority or securities exchange. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e), (f) or (h) of this Section 10.01 may be satisfied
with respect to any financial statements of the Borrower by furnishing (a) the applicable financial statements of Holdings (or any other Parent Entity) or (b) Holdings’ (or any other Parent Entity’s), as applicable, Form 10-K or 10-Q, as applicable, filed with the SEC or any securities exchange, in each case, within the time periods specified in such paragraphs; provided that, with respect to
each of clauses (A) and (B), (i) to the extent such financial statements relate to any Parent Entity, such financial statements shall be accompanied by consolidating information (which need not be audited) that summarizes in reasonable detail
the differences between the information relating to such Parent Entity, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Borrower on a standalone basis, on the other hand, which consolidating information shall be certified by an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower as having been fairly presented in all material respects and (ii) to the extent such statements are in lieu of statements required to be provided under Section 10.01(c), such statements shall be accompanied by a
report and opinion of an independent registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing or another accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which report and opinion shall satisfy the applicable requirements
set forth in Section 10.01(c) as if the references to “the Borrower” therein were references to such Parent Entity. 
 No
financial statement required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.01(a), (b) or (c) shall be required to include acquisition accounting adjustments relating to the Transactions or any Permitted Acquisition or other Investment to the
extent it is not practicable to include any such adjustments in such financial statement.

Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit officers and designated representatives of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect, under guidance of

Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with, and be advised as to the same by, its and their officers and independent accountants, all upon reasonable prior notice and at such
reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as the Administrative Agent or any such Lender may reasonably request. 

(b)    At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will within 10 days after the date of the
delivery (or, if later, required delivery) of the quarterly and annual financial information pursuant to Sections 10.01(b) and (c), hold a conference call or teleconference, at a time selected by the Borrower with such of the Lenders that choose to
participate, to review the financial results of the previous Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, and the financial condition of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the budgets presented for the current Fiscal Year of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 10.03.    Insurance. 

(a)    Generally. Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep its insurable property adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers and maintain such other insurance, to such
extent and against such risks as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including insurance with respect to Mortgaged Properties and other properties material to the business of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries against such casualties and contingencies and of such types and in such amounts with such deductibles as is customary in the case of similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including
(i) physical hazard insurance on an “all risk” basis, (ii) commercial general liability against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage covering any and all insurable claims, (iii) explosion insurance in respect
of any boilers, machinery or similar apparatus constituting Collateral, (iv) business interruption insurance and (v) such other insurance as may be required by any Requirement of Law; provided that with respect to physical hazard
insurance, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall agree to the adjustment of any claim thereunder without the consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, further, that the consent of neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required during an Event of Default. 

(b)    Requirements of Insurance. All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation,
material reduction in amount or material change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days (or 10 days in the case of the failure to pay any premiums thereunder) after receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice thereof and
(ii) name the Collateral Agent as mortgagee (in the case of property insurance) or additional insured on behalf of the Secured Parties (in the case of liability insurance) or lender loss payee (in the case of property insurance), as applicable;
provided that the 

  
 -193- 













 
Borrower shall have 45 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as agreed by the Collateral Agent) to comply with the requirements of the foregoing clause (ii) with respect to
policies in effect on the Closing Date. 
 (c)    [Reserved]. 

(d)    Broker’s Report. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance and such supplemental reports with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. 

(e)    Mortgaged Properties. No Credit Party that is a holder of Mortgaged Property shall take any
action that is reasonably likely to be the basis for termination, revocation or denial of any insurance coverage required to be maintained under such Credit Party’s respective Mortgage or that could be the basis for a defense to any claim under
any Insurance Policy maintained in respect of the Premises, and the Borrower shall otherwise comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements in respect of the Premises; provided, however, that each Credit Party may, at its own
expense and after written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) contest the applicability or enforceability of any such Insurance Requirements by appropriate legal proceedings, the prosecution of which does not constitute a basis for
cancellation or revocation of any insurance coverage required under this Section 10.03 or (ii) cause the Insurance Policy containing any such Insurance Requirement to be replaced by a new policy complying with the provisions of this
Section 10.03. 
 10.04.    Existence; Franchises. Holdings will, and will cause each of the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and its material rights, franchises, licenses, permits and Intellectual Property; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 10.04 shall prevent (i) sales of assets and other transactions or dispositions by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 11 or (ii) the
withdrawal by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its qualification as a foreign Company in any jurisdiction if such withdrawal could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 10.05.    Compliance with Statutes, etc. Holdings and the Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property
except such non-compliances as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

10.06.    Compliance with Environmental Laws; Environmental Reports. (a) Except where failure to do so will
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will comply, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with all Environmental Laws; obtain and renew all Environmental Permits applicable to its


  
 -194- 













 
business facilities, operations and Real Property; and conduct all Responses required by, and in accordance with, Environmental Laws which, if not so conducted, could reasonably be expected to
result in the creation of any Lien in favor of any Governmental Authority for (i) liability under Environmental Laws or (ii) damages arising from, or costs incurred by, such Governmental Authority in response to a Release or threatened
Release of any Hazardous Material into the Environment; provided that neither the Borrower, nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any Response to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in
good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such circumstances in accordance with IFRS. 

(b)    If an Event of Default that results in the Release of Hazardous Materials or is otherwise a breach of
Section 10.06(a) shall have occurred and be continuing for more than 45 days, at the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall provide to
the Lenders within 90 days after such request (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), at the expense of the Borrower, a report, prepared by a reputable environmental consulting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Mortgaged Property with respect to which a breach of Section 10.06(a) has occurred, describing the Release of Hazardous Materials or the breach of Section 10.06(a) and any related
adverse impacts, and the estimated cost of any Response that may be required pursuant to Environmental Laws to address such Release or breach of Section 10.06(a) and related adverse impacts. 

10.07.    Employee Benefits. With respect to all Plans, each Credit Party shall (a) comply with
the applicable provisions of the PBA, any other applicable Requirements of Law and with all applicable collective bargaining agreements, except where such failure to comply would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice of intention to terminate or wind up any DB Plan or notice of intent to order a termination or winding up of any DB Plan sent by any applicable
Governmental Authority to any Credit Party; and (c) upon request by the Administrative Agent, copies of (i) the most recent actuarial valuation report for each DB Plan; and (ii) such other documents or reports or filings with a
Governmental Authority relating to any DB Plan as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Credit Party shall adopt,
participate in, or have any liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, any ERISA Plan. 
 10.08.    End of
Fiscal Years. The Borrower will cause its and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Fiscal Years to end on March 31 of each calendar year; provided that the Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, change
its Fiscal Year-end to another date reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in which case the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized to (without requiring the consent
of any other Person, including any Lender), make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect such change in Fiscal Year.

will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, indenture, security agreement, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other agreement, contract or instrument by which it is
bound, except such non-performances as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

10.10.    Payment of Taxes; Priority Claims. Except as set forth in Schedule 10.10, each of Holdings and the
Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material Taxes and Priority Claims imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date
on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien or charge upon any properties of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted under Section 11.01;
provided that neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and for which Holdings, the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with IFRS and such non-payment does not give rise to a Priority Claim. 

10.11.    Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit issued hereunder
only as provided in Section 9.08. 
 10.12.    Additional Collateral; Additional Guarantors.

Section 10.12, Holdings will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, with respect to any property acquired after the Closing Date (subject to clause (c) below) by Holdings or any other Credit Party that is required to be subject to the
Lien created by any of the Security Documents pursuant to such Security Documents and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirements but is not so subject, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after the acquisition thereof (or such longer period as
the Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion)) (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other documents as the Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or
advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a Lien on such property subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) take all actions necessary to cause such Lien to be
duly perfected to the extent required by such Security Document in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law and Perfection Requirements, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by
the Collateral Agent. 
 (b)    Subject to the terms of each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement then
extant, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, with respect to any Person that is or becomes (or is required to become) a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such Person
becomes a Subsidiary (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its sole 

  
 -196- 













 
discretion)), cause such Credit Party and such Person (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to comply with the requirements set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement” necessary to cause the Lien created by the applicable Security Document to be duly perfected to the extent required by such Security Document in accordance with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. 

10.13.    Security Interests; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms of each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement
then extant, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, promptly upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, at the Credit Parties’ expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver,

except Permitted Liens, or obtain any consents or waivers as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, authorizations,
approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. Upon the
exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Credit Document which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any Governmental
Authority, execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender may require. If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the
Required Lenders determine that they are required by a Requirement of Law to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real Property of any Credit Party (other than Holdings) constituting Collateral, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative
Agent appraisals that satisfy the applicable requirements of (i) the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of FIRREA (for Real Property located in the United States), (ii) the Appraisal Institute of Canada (for Real Property located in
Canada) or (iii) any successor equivalent of (i) and (ii), and are otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

10.16.    Affirmative Covenants with Respect to Leases. With respect to each Lease, the respective Credit Party
shall perform all the obligations imposed upon it by the landlord under such Lease and enforce all of the tenant’s obligations thereunder, except where the failure to so perform or enforce, either individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 10.17.    Information Regarding Collateral.
Holdings and the Borrower will not, and will not permit any other Credit Party to, effect any change (i) in any Credit Party’s 

  
 -197-

Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number, if any, or (v) in any Credit Party’s jurisdiction of organization (in each case, including by merging or amalgamating with or into any other
entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reorganizing or organizing in any other jurisdiction), until (A) it shall have given the Administrative Agent prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such change and
providing such other information in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (B) it shall have taken all action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the
security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, if applicable. Each Credit Party agrees to promptly provide the Administrative Agent with certified Organizational Documents reflecting any of the
changes described in the preceding sentence. Each Credit Party also agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in the location of any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any
office or facility at which Collateral is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), other than changes in location to a Mortgaged Property or a leased property subject to a Landlord Access Agreement. 

10.18.    Post-Closing Matters. Cause to be delivered or performed the documents and other agreements set forth on
Schedule 10.18 within the time frames specified on such Schedule 10.18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, (x) all provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including
all conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein and therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the actions set forth on Schedule 10.18 (and to the permit the
taking of such actions within the time periods required in Schedule 10.18 rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents) and (y) to the extent any representation and warranty in any Credit Document would not be true because the
actions in Schedule 10.18 were not taken on the Closing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in
accordance with Schedule 10.18.

 (b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.19, no Canadian
Credit Party shall be required to comply with any Sanctions, or shall be restricted from engaging in any transaction, in each case, to the extent that such

compliance or restriction would breach the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada). 

10.20.    [Reserved] 

10.21.    Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower may designate (or re-designate) any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause an Event of Default; provided, however, that no Subsidiary may
be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, then, other than in the case of New
PortLP and New PortGP, such designation will be deemed to be an Investment by the Borrower therein made as of the time of the designation in an amount equal to the portion of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to
the Borrower’s equity interest therein as estimated by the Borrower in good faith, and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 11.03 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as
determined by the Borrower, in an amount equal to such deemed Investment. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. The Borrower may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens and Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Borrower of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Liens and Indebtedness are permitted under Sections 11.01 and 11.04, in each case, calculated on a pro forma
basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period and (2) no Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Any such designation by the Borrower shall be evidenced to the
Administrative Agent by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the preceding conditions. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the Closing Date, New PortLP and New PortGP shall be the only Subsidiaries of the Borrower
that shall be Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
 10.22.    Business; etc. The Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will engage (directly or indirectly) only in the businesses which relate to the production or distribution of steel or the manufacturing of steel product (including businesses such as mining) in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are engaged or planning to be engaged as of the Closing Date, or businesses reasonably ancillary thereto. 
 SECTION
11.    Negative Covenants. Holdings (solely with respect to Section 11.10) and each other Credit Party party hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, on and after the Closing Date and until the Termination Date: 

11.01.    Liens. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly,
create, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (each, an “Initial 

  
 -199- 













 
Lien”) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: 

(i)    In the case of Initial Liens on the Collateral, such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; or 

(ii)    In the case of Initial Liens on any asset or property that is not ABL Facility Priority Collateral,
such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien pursuant to clause (31) thereof and secures Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred under Section 11.04. 

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such
Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of
interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases
in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. 

11.02.    Merger and Consolidation. (a) The Borrower will not consolidate with, amalgamate or merge with or
into or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless: 
 (1)    the resulting,
surviving, continuing or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of (x) Canada or any Province of Canada or (y) the United States of America, any State of the
United States of America or the District of Columbia at the time of the execution of an assignment and assumption agreement and the Successor Company (if not the Borrower) will expressly assume, by an assignment and assumption agreement, executed
and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, all the obligations of Borrower under the Credit Documents; 

(2)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of
the applicable Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the applicable Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the applicable Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (3)    the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Agreement and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that such assignment and assumption agreement and the Credit Documents after giving effect to any related amendments thereto have been duly authorized, executed and delivered and are legal, valid and binding


  
 -200- 













 
agreements enforceable against the applicable Successor Company (in each case, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), provided that in giving an Opinion of
Counsel, counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to any matters of fact, including as to satisfaction of clauses (2) and (3) above; and 

(4)    (x) any security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral
pursuant to the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect and perfected (to at least the same extent as in effect immediately prior to such amalgamation or merger (including no additional limitations that would impact the Collateral
Agent’s ability to realize upon the Collateral in any material respect)) and all actions required to maintain said perfected status have been or will be promptly taken, in each case as required by Section 10.12 and (y) each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall deliver a reaffirmation agreement in respect of its Guaranty and security interests with respect thereto to the Administrative Agent. 

For purposes of this Section 11.02, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower, which properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a
consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower. 
 The
Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents but in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor
company will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding
clauses (2), (3) and (4) (which do not apply to transactions referred to in this sentence), (x) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower may consolidate or otherwise combine with, merge or amalgamate into or transfer all or part of its properties
and assets to the Borrower, (y) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or otherwise combine with, merge, or amalgamate into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to any other Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor and
(z) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor may consolidate or otherwise combine with, merge, or amalgamate into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor.
Notwithstanding the preceding clause (2) (which does not apply to the transactions referred to in this sentence), the Borrower may consolidate or otherwise combine with or merge or amalgamate into an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the
purpose of changing the legal domicile of the Borrower, reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction, or changing the legal form of the Borrower. 

The foregoing provisions (other than the requirements of clause (2) above) shall not apply to the creation of a new Subsidiary as
a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower. 
 (b)    No Subsidiary Guarantor may: 

(1)    consolidate with or merge or amalgamate with or into any Person, or 

  
 -201- 













 (2)    sell, convey, transfer or dispose of, all or substantially all
its assets, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person, or 
 (3)    permit any Person to
merge or amalgamate with or into the Subsidiary Guarantor, unless: 
 (A)    the other Person is the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; provided that if such other Person is the Borrower, either (x) the Borrower shall be the continuing or surviving Person
or (y) such transaction shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 11.02(a); or 

(B)    either (x) a Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guaranty of the Obligations, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; 

(C)    the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger
or amalgamation) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other than to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Agreement;
and 
 (D)    any security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect and perfected (to at least the same extent as in effect immediately prior to such amalgamation or merger) and all actions required to maintain said
perfected status have been or will be promptly taken, in each case as required by Section 10.12. 
 (c)    The
foregoing provisions shall not apply to: 
 (1)     any Permitted Acquisition; 

(2)    any Asset Disposition (including dispositions constituting any part of a Permitted Reorganization
and/or an IPO Reorganization Transaction) permitted pursuant to Section 11.08; and 
 (3)    (i)
the liquidation or dissolution of any Restricted Subsidiary if the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Borrower, is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders, and the Borrower or
any Restricted Subsidiary receives any assets of the relevant dissolved or liquidated Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) any merger, amalgamation, dissolution,

the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (y) the principal amount of Indebtedness, or liquidation preference thereof, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

(d)    Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of
original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not
treated as Indebtedness due to a change in IFRS, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 11.04. 

(e)    If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 11.04 the Borrower shall be in default of this
Section 11.04). 
 (f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness
that the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to
refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 11.05.    Restrictions on Distributions from
Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual


  
 -213- 













 
restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions in cash or otherwise on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other
obligations owed to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) make any loans or advances to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary or (iv) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon their respective properties or revenues (other than Excluded Assets), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or which requires the grant of any security for an
obligation if security is granted for another obligation; provided that (x) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock and
(y) the subordination of (including the application of any standstill requirements to) loans or advances made to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be
deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction. 
 (b)    The provisions of the preceding paragraph
(a) will not prohibit: 
 (i)    any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to (x) the Credit
Documents, (y) any Term Loan Facility or (z) any other agreement or instrument, in each case, in effect at or entered into on the Closing Date;

amalgamated, consolidated or otherwise combined with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or entered into in contemplation of or in connection with such transaction) and outstanding on such date; provided that, for the purposes of this
clause, if another Person is the Successor Company, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary when such Person becomes the
Successor Company; 
 (iv)    any encumbrance or restriction: 

(A)    that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject
to a lease, license or similar contract or 

  
 -214- 













 
agreement, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract or agreement; 

(B)    contained in mortgages, pledges, charges or other security agreements permitted under this Agreement and the
Security Documents or securing Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary permitted under this Agreement and the Security Documents to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions restrict the transfer or encumbrance of the property or
assets subject to such mortgages, pledges, charges or other security agreements; or

Closing Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.04 that impose restrictions solely on the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries party thereto or their
Subsidiaries; 
 (xii)    any other agreement that does not restrict in any manner (directly or
indirectly) Liens created pursuant to the Credit Documents on any Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and does not require the direct or indirect granting of any Lien securing any Indebtedness or other obligation by virtue of the granting of
Liens on or pledge of property of any Credit Party to secure the Secured Obligations; 
 (xiii)    any
encumbrance or restriction arising pursuant to an agreement or instrument (which, if it relates to any Indebtedness, shall only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.04 if the

Closing Date or (B) either (x) the Borrower determines at the time of entry into such agreement or instrument that such encumbrances or restrictions will not adversely affect, in any material respect, the Borrower’s ability to make

(xiv)    any encumbrance or restriction existing by reason of any Lien permitted under Section 11.01;

supplement or other modification to an agreement referred to in clauses (i) to (xiv) of this paragraph or this clause (xv); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any
such agreement or instrument are not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which
such refinancing or amendment, supplement or other modification relates (as determined in good faith by the Borrower). 

11.06.     Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a)    The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter
into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Borrower (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate value in excess of

 -216- 













 (1)    the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not
materially less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such
transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and 
 (2)    in the event such
Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate value in excess of $30,000,000 and is in the ordinary course of business, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors; and

ordinary course of business, the terms of such transaction have been approved by an Independent Financial Advisor (reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); and 

(4)    in any such Affiliate Transaction, or series of related Affiliated Transactions, at least 100% of the consideration
from such Affiliate Transaction received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents (including receivables and payables to be settled in cash or Cash Equivalents). 

Any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in clause (a)(2) of this Section 11.06 if such Affiliate
Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, if any. 
 (b)    The provisions of the preceding
paragraph (a) will not apply to:

purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business, which are fair to the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of
the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, or are on terms no less favorable than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 

(ix)    any transaction between or among the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the
Borrower or an Associate or similar entity that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Affiliate, Associate or similar entity; 

(x)    issuances or sales of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preferred Stock) of

Permitted Holder in connection with its direct or indirect investment in the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; 

(xiii)    the Transactions; 

(xiv)    transactions involving aggregate value not in excess of $30,000,000 in which the Borrower or any

agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date will only be permitted under this clause to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lenders in any
material respects; 
 (xvi)    any purchases by the Borrower’s Affiliates of Indebtedness or
Disqualified Stock of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted under this Agreement the majority of which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is purchased by Persons who are not the Borrower’s Affiliates; provided that such

11.07.    Modifications of Junior Financing Agreements The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Junior Financing in excess of the Threshold Amount (“Restricted Debt”) (or the documentation governing any Restricted Debt) if the effect of such amendment or
modification, together with all other amendments or modifications made, is materially adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (in their capacities as such) without first obtaining the consent of the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that, for purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing limitation shall not otherwise prohibit any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or any
other replacement, refinancing, amendment, supplement, modification, extension, renewal, restatement or refunding of any Restricted Debt, in each case, that is permitted under this Agreement in respect thereof; provided, further that no amendment,
modification or change of any term or condition of any Restricted Debt permitted by any subordination provisions set forth therein or in any other stand-alone subordination or intercreditor agreement in respect thereof shall be deemed materially

 (ii)    with respect to (x) any such individual
Asset Disposition transaction with respect to assets having a Fair Market Value in excess of $5,000,000 or (y) any such Asset Dispositions transactions with respect to assets having a Fair Market Value in excess of $10,000,000, for all such

way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to this clause (ii) since the Closing Date (on a cumulative

of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause (determined without regard to whether any notice is required), any
such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or (ii) any Indebtedness (other than the Credit Document Obligations) of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be declared to be (or shall become) due

respect to a financial covenant in any such Indebtedness or (2) a breach or default (other than a payment default) by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to the CapEx Facilities and the New PortLP Facility

a release of Collateral or any Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, the occurrence of the Termination Date or any other termination of such Credit Document in accordance with the terms thereof); 

then, and in any such event, and at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, the Administrative Agent, upon the written request
of the Required Lenders, shall by written notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to enforce its claims against any Credit
Party (provided that, if an Event of Default specified in Section 12.01(e) shall occur with respect to the Borrower, the result which would occur upon the giving of written notice by the Administrative Agent as specified in clauses

Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and then outstanding; (v) enforce, as Collateral Agent, all of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents; (vi) enforce each
Guaranty in accordance with the terms therein; (vii) apply any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.02 to the repayment of the Obligations; and

reorganization or insolvency proceeding) shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, promptly by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as follows: 
 (i)    first, to the payment of all
costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel, interest and principal on Extraordinary Advances
held solely by the Administrative Agent (and in the case of Agent Extraordinary Advances in a principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000), and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by such Agents in connection therewith and all
amounts (including any fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts incurred in connection with enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents) for which the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, are
entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Credit Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid
in full; 
 (ii)    second, to payment in full of interest, followed by principal on Protective
Advances (other than Agent Extraordinary Advances), pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders, 

(iii)    third, Unfunded Advances/Participations and all outstanding expenses actually due and
payable to the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of
Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution) on a ratable basis; 

(iv)    fourth, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)
and (iii) above, to the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts constituting Credit Document Obligations (other than principal and Unpaid Drawings and Obligations owed to a Defaulting Lender and


  
 -228- 













 
other than Agent Extraordinary Advances), in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing; 

(v)    fifth, to the payment in full in cash, pro rata, of (x) the principal amount of the
Credit Document Obligations (including Unpaid Drawings, but excluding Agent Extraordinary Advances) and (y) all Hedging Obligations and all Cash Management Obligations, in each case, constituting Obligations but only up to the amount included
in the Banking Services Product Reserve with respect thereto, and any breakage, termination or other amounts thereunder under obligations of the type described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) in the definition “Obligations”) (this
clause, the “Pari Principal Waterfall Clause”); 
 (vi)    sixth, without duplication of
amounts applied to clause (i) above, to the payment in full in cash of Agent Extraordinary Advances; 

(vii)    seventh, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause (v) above, to the

 (ix)    ninth, to the payment in full,
in cash pro rata to any Secured Obligation owing to Defaulting Lenders; and 
 (x)    tenth, the
balance, if any, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (i) through (x) of this Section 12.02, the
Credit Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. 
 12.03.    Cure Rights 

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Article 12.01), if the
Borrower reasonably expects to fail (or has failed) to comply with the Financial Covenant for any Fiscal Quarter, the Borrower shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive
cash contributions in respect of Permitted Cure Securities (the “Cure Amount”), and thereupon the Borrower’s compliance with the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment:
Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased (notwithstanding the absence of a related addback in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”), solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant as of the end of such Fiscal
Quarter in which the Cure Amount is so received by the 

  
 -229- 













 
Borrower and for applicable subsequent periods which include such Fiscal Quarter, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation (but not, for the
avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth below, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the requirements of the Financial Covenant would be satisfied, then the requirements of the Financial
Covenant shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had
occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that (i) no more than five (5) Cure Rights may be exercised from the Closing Date to the Latest Maturity Date; (ii) no more
than two Cure Rights may be exercised during any period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters; (iii) no Cure Amount shall exceed the amount necessary to cause compliance with the Financial Covenant for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter and
the period then ended; (iv) the Cure Amount is actually received by the Borrower at any time during such Fiscal Quarter or thereafter until the date that is 10 Business Days after the later of (x) the commencement of the applicable
Compliance Period and (y) the date on which financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.01(b) or (c), as applicable (the “Cure Expiration Date”); (v) such
Cure Amount shall be added to Consolidated EBITDA solely for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for such Fiscal Quarter as described above and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including not for the any
calculations testing pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant (whether in connection with the Payment Conditions or otherwise) or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts including the
amount of Indebtedness (directly or by way of netting (except to the extent that such proceeds are actually applied to repay such Indebtedness)) and disregarded for purposes of determining the Availability or amount of any covenant basket (including
the Available Equity Amount); and (vi) no Lender or Issuing Lender shall be required to make any credit extension hereunder if an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant has occurred and is continuing unless and until the Cure Amount is
actually received by the Borrower on or prior to the applicable Cure Expiration Date. 
 (ii)    Upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, on or prior to the Cure Expiration Date, that the Borrower intends to use the Cure Right in respect of a Fiscal Quarter (a “Cure Notice”) and until the Cure Expiration Date to
which such Cure Notice relates, no Agent (nor any sub- agent therefor) nor any Lender or other Secured Party may exercise any rights to foreclosure on or take possession of the Collateral or any other right or
remedy under any Credit Document (except as set forth in Section 12.03 (a) (i) (vi) above) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default with respect to the Financial Covenant 

  
 -230- 













 
until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been received and designated by the Borrower. 

(iii)    Upon receipt by the Borrower of the Net Cash Proceeds of any capital contribution referred to in
Section 12.03(i), the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though
there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default with respect to any such covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 

SECTION 13.    The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. 

13.01.    Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint (and by entering in an ABL Hedge Letter
Agreement, each ABL Hedge Provider party thereto shall be deemed to irrevocably designate and appoint) Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 13 and Section 14.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also
shall include Wells Fargo in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by
entering in an ABL Hedge Letter Agreement, each ABL Hedge Provider party thereto shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize), 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 Credit 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. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders (and, if applicable, the ABL Hedge Providers) and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security
Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) in its sole discretion (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) and by or through officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties and may rely upon (and be
fully protected in relying upon) such advice. The Administrative Agent may delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or 

  
 -231- 













 
misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct by the Administrative Agent, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any such
sub-agent of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent. 
 13.02.    Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit 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 or be deemed to have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit 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 Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 

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

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document,
each Lead 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 Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 13.06
and 14.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lead Arranger shall not have and shall not be deemed to have, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other
Person. 

  
 -232- 













 13.03.    Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.
Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each ABL Hedge Provider, each Secured Party party to a Treasury Services Agreement 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 Holdings and its 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 Holdings and its 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 or liable to any Lender or the holder of any Note or any participant for (i) any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties made herein or in any document, certificate, report,
statement or other writing referred to or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien, or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any
failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Credit Document to perform its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not (i) be responsible for the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or 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 Credit Document, or the financial condition of
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral,
(iv) responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and (v) be under
any obligation to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. Each Lender, ABL Hedge Provider, Secured Party party to a Treasury Services Agreement and the holder of each Note acknowledges that none of the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or attorneys has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or attorneys. 

13.04.    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 Credit 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 

  
 -233- 













 
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 Credit Document in accordance
with the instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to instructions from the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all of the Lenders, ABL Hedge Providers, Secured Parties party to a Treasury Services
Agreement and the holder of each Note, as applicable. 
 13.05.    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
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 Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower or any Lender) or any experts selected by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -234- 













 13.06.    Indemnification. The Administrative Agent may incur
and pay certain expenses to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Credit Documents, including court costs,
attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance
premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Following any Event of Default and the exercise of rights and
remedies with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent is authorized to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by it with respect to such exercise of rights and remedies prior to the distribution of any amounts to the Lenders (or other
Secured Parties), in each case in accordance with Section 12.02. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) on demand 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 Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit 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). 

13.07.    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,” “Supermajority Lenders,” “Holders of Notes” 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, without notice to or consent of any Secured Party, 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 Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any
Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party
for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders, ABL Hedge Providers and each Secured Party party to a Treasury Services Agreement acknowledge that,


  
 -235- 













 pursuant to the activities described in this Section, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding a Secured Party or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Credit Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to
such parties, and that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to such Lenders, ABL Hedge Providers and each
Secured Party party to a Treasury Services Agreement. 
 13.08.    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. 
 13.09.    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 Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 12.01(e) then exists, the Borrower (unless such notice is waived by the Borrower). Any such resignation by the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender 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 Lender 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. 

(b)    Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent (unless waived pursuant to the
preceding paragraph), 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. 

  
 -236- 













 (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 become effective and the Required Lenders
shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit 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 13.09, the retiring (or
retired) Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 13 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in
effect for the benefit of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent and such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent. 

13.10.    Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to
enter into the Credit Documents, including the Security Documents (which, for purposes of this Section 13, also shall include all Control Agreements, Landlord Access Agreements, bailee agreements and similar agreements), the ABL Intercreditor
Agreement, the Inter-Lender Agreement and each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement 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, the Security Documents, ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Inter-Lender Agreement or any Acceptable Intercreditor
Agreement, 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)    Each of the Secured Parties (x) irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act
as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Security Documents for and on behalf of) such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to
secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto and (y) irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other Applicable Law, a security interest can be perfected by
possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) 

  
 -237- 













 
obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver
such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents, receivers and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto for purposes of holding or enforcing any
Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Section 13 (including Section 13.06, as though such co-agents, sub-agents, receivers and attorneys-in-fact were the
Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents) and Section 14.01 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of
loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any ABL Hedge Provider except as set forth in Section 14.27. 

(c)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably 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 (A) termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Credit Document Obligations (other than inchoate
indemnification obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (B) termination or expiration of all Lender Hedging Agreements (unless
collateralized or other arrangements made, in each case, to the satisfaction of the applicable ABL Hedge Provider) and payment in full of all amounts due and payable thereunder, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to
Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 11.08, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the
extent required by Section 14.12), (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or the last sentence of each of Sections 11.01 and 11.08 or in any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or (v) in lieu of any
release permitted pursuant to this Section 13.10(c), the Collateral Agent may subordinate any such Liens on the Collateral to another Lien permitted under clauses (3), (9) and (11) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and may
subordinate any Lien on the Collateral that the Collateral Agent determines in its commercially reasonable judgment was intended by operation of law or otherwise to be subordinated to another Lien pursuant to Section 11.01. 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 13.10; provided, that anything to the contrary
contained in any of the Credit Documents notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, could
reasonably be expected to expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty. Any such


  
 -238- 













 
release or subordination shall be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such release or subordination complies with this Agreement. 

(d)    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 Credit 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, to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate
any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, 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 13.10 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). 

13.11.    Delivery of Information. (a)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 Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit 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. 

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, by becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender: 

(i)    is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available,
a copy of each field examination report respecting any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall so furnish each Lender with
such Reports, 
 (ii)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent does not (i) make any
representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report, 

(iii)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the
Administrative Agent or other party performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Credit Parties and their 

  
 -239- 













 
Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Holdings’, the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel, 

(iv)    agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information
regarding the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 14.16, and 

(v)    without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees:
(i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection
with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower, and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including,
legal fees and costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 

(c)    In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of the Administrative Agent in
writing that the Administrative Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by such Credit Party or such
Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that the Administrative Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Credit
Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request the Administrative Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to the
Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent promptly shall request of the Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, the
Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that the Administrative Agent renders to the Borrower a statement regarding the Register with respect to Loan balances, the Administrative Agent shall
send a copy of such statement to each Lender. 
 13.12.    Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and
(y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the
Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 

  
 -240- 













 (i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets”
(within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement, 

(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE

involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a
class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house
asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, 

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset
Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and
perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of
sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or 

(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. 
 (b)    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date
such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party,

in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 

  
 -241- 













 13.13.    Withholding. To the extent required by any Applicable
Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the Canada Revenue Agency, the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a
claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payments, such Lender and/or Issuing Lender
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred, unless such amounts
have been indemnified by any Borrower, Guarantor or the relevant Lender or Issuing Lender.

Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice
from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any
such notice or of any Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge; provided that such notice may be effected by posting to Syndraks or such other electronic site established by the Administrative Agent for which the
Lenders have been granted access. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for
giving any notices to its Participants, if any or, in the case of the Issuing Lender, to the applicable Underlying Issuer. Subject to Section 13.05, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 12.01; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 

13.15.    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Acting in Concert. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall
not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any enforcement action under any Credit Document, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Credit
Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 

13.16.    Payments by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by the Administrative Agent

 13.17.    Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication
Agents, and Co-Documentation Agents. Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, and
Co-Documentation Agents, in such capacities, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to it in its capacity as a Lender,
as Agent, as Swingline Lender, or as Issuing Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, and
Co-Documentation Agents, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Credit Party. Each Lender, Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, and each
Credit Party acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, and Co-Documentation Agents
in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents, and Co-Documentation Agents, in such

consultants of the Agents) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or
consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent, the Agents and the Lenders (taken as a whole) in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this
Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of consultants and
one counsel for the Agents and the Issuing Lenders and each other Lender (taken as a whole) (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each
similarly affected group of parties)); and (ii) indemnify the Agents, each Issuing Lender, each Underlying Issuer and each Lender, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment
advisors and their respective successors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way
related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation,


  
 -243- 













 
litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any
Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or
remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased,
managed, controlled or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case, relating to such ownership, lease, management, control or operation), the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of
Hazardous Materials by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the
non-compliance by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable Environmental Permits thereunder), or any Environmental Claim asserted against
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants (including environmental consulting firms) incurred in connection with
any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, penalties, judgments, costs, suits, disbursements, damages or expenses to extent incurred, assessed or imposed by reason of
(i) the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of the Indemnified Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision) and (ii) disputes among Indemnified Persons (other than claims arising out of any act or omission of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes
other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any
Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is
permissible under Applicable Law. Except to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting
forth such expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. 

(b)    To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert,
and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through 

  
 -244- 













 
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except
to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any legal proceeding effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with
the Borrower’s written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff against an Indemnified Person in any such legal proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in the manner set forth
above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against such Indemnified
Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of
such legal proceeding and (b) such settlement does not include any statements as to any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person. 

14.02.    Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise,
and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time
held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries against and on account of the Credit Document Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including all interests in
Credit Document Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not
the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Credit Document Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 14.02 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 14.06(b) as though it were a Lender. 

14.03.    Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified below or in the other relevant Credit

electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

14.04.    Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of their rights, obligations or interest
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible
Transferees in its rights hereunder (a “Participant”), such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder except as
provided in Sections 2.13 and 14.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall


  
 -246- 













 
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Credit Document and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Credit Agreement; provided further that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver to the extent
such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking (unless such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking is not extended beyond the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest
rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 14.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable
hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan
Commitment or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the
consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement or
(iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans and/or Letters of Credit thereunder in which such participant is
participating or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty made by the Subsidiary Guarantors (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents). In the case of any such participation, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 14.04(e), the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement
executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. 

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders)
may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Credit Document Obligations hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its
parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised
by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub- clause
(x)(i)(B)), provided, that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any
other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a 

  
 -247- 













 
portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the Borrower may otherwise
agree) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Credit Document Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and
any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees
shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or
outstanding Loans, as the case may be of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note
pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity
with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent, each
Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iv) so long as no Event of
Default under Section 12.01(a) or (e) (with respect to the Borrower) then exists, the consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that (I) the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, withhold its consent to any assignment to any Person that is not a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Borrower to be an
Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such Person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name and (II) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof, (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the
assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by
the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor), and (vi) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. To the extent of any
assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans. To the extent that an assignment of all or any
portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Credit Document Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under
Section 2.10 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such 

  
 -248- 













 
increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 14.04 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to the Disqualified Lenders. 

(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes
hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit
or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. 
 (d)    Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and/or
Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 14.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04, 13.06, 14.01 and 14.06),
which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (e)    The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.04(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.04(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 such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13 as if it were
an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 5.04, 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 shall, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans or other obligations
under the Credit 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 Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary 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 such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such 

  
 -249- 













 
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. 
 (f)    [Reserved]. 

(g)    [Reserved]. 

(h)    (i)     Any assignment or participation by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent (A) to
any Disqualified Lender or any Affiliate thereof or (B) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 14.04, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance
to unwind any such assignment or participation and/or specifically enforce this Section 14.04(h) in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the
Borrower at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 14.04 as it relates to any assignment,
participation or pledge of any Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment to any Disqualified Lender or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained. Nothing in this Section 14.04(h) shall be
deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity or pursuant to Section 14.04(h)(ii) below. 

(ii)    If any assignment or participation under this Section 14.04 is made to any Affiliate of any
Disqualified Lender (other than any Bona Fide Debt Fund that is not itself a Disqualified Lender) without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such person, a “ Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of each Borrower owing to such Disqualified
Person, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 14.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one
or more Eligible Transferees and if such person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which the Eligible
Transferee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to such person, then such person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption Agreement without any action on its part; provided that
(I) in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Borrower shall not be liable to the relevant Disqualified Person under Section 2.10 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such Disqualified Person is repaid or purchased other than on the last
day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (II) in the case of clause (B), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 14.04 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this
Section 14.04 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph. Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative 

  
 -250- 













 
Agent (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate
in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Tranche have
(i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter
related to any Credit Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, have a right to consent (or not
consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Revolving Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding
for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders, majority Lenders under any Tranche or all Lenders have taken any action and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not
Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the any Borrower or any other Credit Party and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 14.01. For the sake of clarity, the
provisions in this Section 14.04(h) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person. 

(iii)    Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent may and the Borrower will make the list
of Disqualified Lenders (other than any Disqualified Lender that is a reasonably identifiable Affiliate of another Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Person’s name) at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any
potential assignee for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender, in each case so long as such Lender and such potential assignee agree to keep the list of Disqualified Lenders confidential in accordance with the terms
hereof. 
 14.05.    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or
remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances 

  
 -251- 













 
or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
demand. 
 14.06.    Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Credit Document Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled
thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Credit Document Obligations with respect to
which such payment was received. 
 (b)    Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any
amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise),
which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater
proportion than the total of such Credit Document Obligations then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Credit Document Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Credit Document Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
provisions of the preceding Sections 14.06(a) and (b) shall be 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. 
 (d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this
Section 14.06 shall not be construed to apply to (A) the assignments and participations described in Section 14.04, (B) any Extension described in Section 2.15 or (C) the incurrence of any Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness. 
 14.07.    Calculations; Computations (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the
Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with IFRS consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders). 

(b)    All computations of interest Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the
basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to subsection (c) of the definition of Base Rate, Canadian CDOR 

  
 -252- 













 
Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day except that in the
case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable. 

(c)    For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), in any case in which an interest or fee rate is
stated in this Agreement to be calculated on the basis of a number of days that is other than the number in a calendar year, the yearly rate to which such interest or fee rate is equivalent is equal to such interest or fee rate multiplied by the
actual number of days in the year in which the relevant interest or fee payment accrues and divided by the number of days used as the basis for such calculation. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest
calculation under this Agreement and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Administrative Agent agrees that if requested in writing by the Borrower it shall
calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any outstanding Loan at any time and provide such information to the Borrower, provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request,
shall not relieve the Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Credit Documents, that the interest payable under the Credit Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the
Borrower or any Credit Party, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.

to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of
such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.12(a). 

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in
writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Revolving
Loan Commitments of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives
payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with Section 14.04) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under
this Agreement and (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this
Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other


  
 -257- 













 
Credit Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the
Required Lenders. 
 (d)    In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended or
amended and restated with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Facility or Revolving Loan Commitments or to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Loans or
Revolving Loan Commitments under the applicable Tranche (any such Revolving Loan Commitment being refinanced or replaced, a “Replaced Revolving Facility”) with a replacement revolving facility hereunder (a “Replacement
Revolving Facility”), in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that: 

(i)    the aggregate principal amount of any Replacement Revolving Facility shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of the Replaced Revolving Facility (plus the amount of accrued interest, penalties and premium thereon, any committed but undrawn amounts and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees and original issue discount),
commissions and expenses associated therewith); 
 (ii)    no Replacement Revolving Facility may have a
final maturity date (or require commitment reductions) prior to the final maturity date of the relevant Replaced Revolving Facility at the time of such refinancing; 

(iii)    any Replacement Revolving Facility may be pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu
(without regard to the control of remedies) or junior with respect to the Collateral with the remaining portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments or any Additional Revolving Loan Commitments (provided that if pari passu or junior as to payment or
Collateral, such Replacement Revolving Facility shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and may be, at the option of the Borrower, documented in a separate agreement or agreements), or be unsecured; 

(iv)    if any Replacement Revolving Facility is secured, it may not be secured by any assets other than
the Collateral; 
 (v)    if any Replacement Revolving Facility is guaranteed, it may not be guaranteed
by any Person other than one or more Credit Parties; 
 (vi)    any Replacement Revolving Facility shall
be subject to the “ratability” provisions applicable to Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans set forth in the proviso to clause (i) of Section 2.15(a), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if
fully set forth in this Section 14.12(d); 
 (vii)    any Replacement Revolving Facility shall have
pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and, subject to preceding clause (vi), optional 

  
 -258- 













 
prepayment and redemption terms as the Borrower and the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility may agree; 

(viii)    the covenants and events of default of any Replacement Revolving Facility (excluding pricing,
interest, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or redemption terms, security and maturity, subject to preceding clauses (ii) through (vii)) shall be (x) substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as
determined by the Borrower in good faith) to the lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility than those applicable to the Replaced Revolving Facility (other than covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest
Maturity Date of such Replaced Revolving Facility (in each case, as of the date of incurrence of the relevant Replacement Revolving Facility), (y) then-current market terms (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) for the applicable type of
Indebtedness or (z) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that covenants and events of default of any Replacement Revolving Facility that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Replacement Revolving
Facility than those contained in the Credit Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Credit Documents pursuant to the applicable Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and 

(ix)    the Revolving Loan Commitments in respect of the Replaced Revolving Facility shall be terminated,
and all Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder and all fees thereunder and payable in connection therewith shall be paid in full, in each case on the date such Replacement Revolving Facility is implemented. 

Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Facility, as applicable, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility, as applicable,
incurred or implemented pursuant thereto (including any amendment necessary to treat the loans and commitments subject thereto as a separate “class” and “Tranche” of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder).
It is understood that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Replacement Revolving Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Replacement Revolving Facility. 

(e)    This Section 14.12 shall be subject to any contrary provision of Section 2.15 or 2.16. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.12, (x) Security Documents (including any additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement
may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such


  
 -259- 













 
amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to
cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (y) if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and any Credit Party shall have jointly identified an ambiguity,
inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents (other than the Security Documents), then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall be
permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five
(5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. 
 14.13.    Survival. All representations and
warranties made by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in the Credit Documents and in certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on
its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender, Issuing Lender or Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect
as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid. All indemnities (other than those provided under Section 5.04) set forth herein including in Sections 2.10,
2.11, 13.06 and 14.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Credit Document Obligations. 

14.14.    Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs or amounts
owed in respect of Indemnified Taxes under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer). 

14.15.    Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for
purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders (including
Extraordinary Advances and Swingline Loans) made by the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, or the Lenders to the Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Undertakings issued or arranged by Issuing Bank for
the Borrowers’ account, and all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure
to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the 

  
 -260- 













 
Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans or Obligations. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of,
and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitments and
Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan
Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 14.04(b). Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the
Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Revolving Loan Commitment and/or a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any)
evidencing such Revolving Loan Commitment and/or a Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its
duties under this Section 14.15. The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that any review of the Register by any Lender shall
be limited to its own Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) and not those of any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower monthly statements regarding the Register, including the principal amount of
the Loans, interest accrued hereunder and fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account
stated between the Borrower and the Secured Parties unless, within 30 days after the Administrative Agent first makes such a statement available to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written objection thereto
describing the error or errors contained in such statement. 
 14.16.    Confidentiality. The Administrative
Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and
existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys/counsel for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any of the Secured Parties and to employees, directors and officers of the Secured Parties (the
Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and
Affiliates of the Secured Parties (including the ABL Hedge Providers); provided, that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information 

  
 -261- 













 
hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 14.16, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such
information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided, that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide the Borrower
with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or
administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order,
rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by the Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process; provided, that (x) prior to any
disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide the Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such
prior written notice to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such
Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement; provided, that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee,
participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information either subject to the terms of this Section 14.16 or pursuant to confidentiality requirements substantially similar to those contained in this
Section 14.16 (and such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (i) above), (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties
hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, that prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Credit
Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than the Borrower, any Agent, any Lender, any of their respective
Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide the Borrower with prior written notice thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy
under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document. 
 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative
Agent may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of
deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties and the Commitments provided
hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in other marketing materials of the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -262- 













 
Each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may make materials or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) available to the Lenders by posting the communications on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar secure electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and
“as available.” The Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials, or the adequacy of the Platform and 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 in
connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents have any liability to the Credit Parties, any Lender or any other
person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or Administrative Agent’s
transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Credit Party further agrees that 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 Credit Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Credit Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” or otherwise at any time filed with the SEC as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Credit
Parties or their securities for purposes of federal and state securities laws. All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or
another similar term). The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or that are not at any time filed with the SEC as being suitable only for
posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term). 

14.17.    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for
purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or
otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other.
The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, each Credit Party, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in
favor of any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates 

  
 -263- 













 
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised,
is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and
(y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that such Credit Party has
consulted its own legal, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit
Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 

14.18.    Patriot Act; Due Diligence. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT ACT
(Title III of Pub. Law 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended from time to time, the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of
the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right to periodically conduct due diligence on all Credit Parties,
their senior management and key principals and legal and beneficial owners. Each Credit Party agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such due diligence and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for any such due diligence by
the Administrative Agent shall constitute expenses for the account of the Borrower. 
 14.19.    Waiver of Sovereign
Immunity. Each of the Credit Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties
has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, Canada or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document
or any other liability or obligation of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or
judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit Party, for itself and
on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, Canada or
elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 14.19 shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign


  
 -264- 













 
Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. 

14.20.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee,
or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Credit Document Obligations hereunder. 
 14.21.    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or
institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any
banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, unless
expressly provided for herein or in any other Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 14.21 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or
constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party. 
 14.22.    Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit
Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in U.S. Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed
in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of
the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in
any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the
Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the
Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). 

(b)    If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion
Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if 

  
 -265- 













 
any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment,
will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. 

For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with
the purchase of the Obligation Currency. 
 14.23.    OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF ABL INTERCREDITOR
AGREEMENT AND ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS MAY BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE TERM LOAN FACILITY DOCUMENTS AND THE CAPEX FACILITIES DOCUMENTS,
WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS OF THE CLOSING DATE AND ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, AS APPLICABLE. THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE ABL
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, SHALL PROVIDE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF EITHER THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR SUCH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, ON THE ONE
HAND, AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROVISIONS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND SUCH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL. 

(b)    EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO
THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTER-LENDER AGREEMENT AND EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTER-LENDER AGREEMENT AND ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. 

(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.23 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE
ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INTER-LENDER AGREEMENT NOR ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO EACH OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTER-LENDER
AGREEMENT AND ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. 

  
 -266- 













 
EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF EACH OF THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTER-LENDER AGREEMENT AND ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, RESPECTIVELY,
AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE
INTER-LENDER AGREEMENT OR ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. 
 14.24.    Severability. If any provision of
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

14.25.    Reinstatement. If any claim is ever made upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender for repayment or
recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any such payment is rescinded or recovered, directly or indirectly, from the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, then and in
such event the Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, rescission or recovery shall be binding upon the Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note, any Security Document or any other instrument
evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

 14.26.    Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to any Agent, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. 

14.27.    ABL Hedge Provider. Each ABL Hedge Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the
provisions of the other Credit Documents for purposes of any reference in a Credit Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is acting. Each Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such ABL Hedge Providers
and, by virtue of entering into an ABL Hedge Letter Agreement, as applicable, the applicable ABL Hedge Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed such Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Credit Documents; it
being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each ABL Hedge Provider under the Credit Documents consist exclusively of such ABL Hedge Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security 

  
 -267- 













 
interests (and guarantees) granted to the Collateral Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral (and such guarantees) as more fully set forth herein and the
consent rights expressly set forth in Section 14.12(a). In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral (or any payment under the Guaranty), each Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to
any ABL Hedge Provider unless such ABL Hedge Provider has provided written notice (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to each Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written notice is received by each Agent a
reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. No Agent shall have any obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Hedging Agreements, but may rely upon the written notice of the amount due and payable
from the relevant ABL Hedge Provider. In the absence of an updated notice, each Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant ABL Hedge Provider is the amount last reported to the Agents by such ABL Hedge Provider
as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such ABL Hedge Provider on account thereof). The Credit Parties may obtain transactions under Hedging Agreements from any ABL Hedge Provider, although the Credit Parties are not required to do
so. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that no ABL Hedge Provider has committed to provide any transactions under Hedging Agreements and that the providing of transactions under Hedging Agreements by any ABL Hedge Provider is in the sole and
absolute discretion of such ABL Hedge Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except as set forth in Section 14.12(a), no ABL Hedge Provider shall have any voting or approval rights
hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as a ABL Hedge Provider, nor shall the consent of any such ABL Hedge Provider be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder
or under any of the other Credit Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors. 

14.28.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA
Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 (a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any
such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability,
including, if applicable: 
 (i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

 (ii)    conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of
ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent 

  
 -268- 













 
undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights
with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or 
 (iii)    the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

SECTION 15.    Guarantee. 

15.01.    The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a
surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of (x) the principal of and
interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by
the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and (y) all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Credit Party under any Credit Document or any Lender Hedging Agreement or Treasury
Services Agreement entered into with a counterparty that is a Secured Party, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors
hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same
in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
 15.02.    Obligations
Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 15.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and
several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any
substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall
remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above: 

(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of
or compliance with any of the Guaranteed 

  
 -269- 













 
Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(ii)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any
other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; 
 (iii)    the
maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect (included any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), or
any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released
or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
 (iv)    any Lien or security interest
granted to, or in favor of, any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; 

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 15.09; or 

(vi)    taking of any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give
rise to a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty. 
 Except as cannot be waived under
Applicable Law, the Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under
this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have
been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or
remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with 

  
 -270- 













 
and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns,
notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. 

15.03.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 15 shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or another Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference,
fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Secured Party. 

15.04.    Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full
in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason
of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 15.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any
Indebtedness of any Credit Party owed to any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party permitted pursuant to Section 11.04 shall be subordinated to such Credit Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany
Note evidencing such Indebtedness. 
 15.05.    Remedies. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor
Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in
Section 12.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 12.01) for purposes of Section 15.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations
(whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 15.01. 

15.06.    Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this
Section 15 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to
bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213. 

  
 -271- 













 15.07.    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this
Section 15 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 

15.08.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate,
limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under
Section 15.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 15.01, then, notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount after giving effect to the rights
of contribution established in Section 15.10. 
 15.09.    Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with
the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, Equity Interests or property of any Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is Holdings, the Borrower
or a Subsidiary resulting in such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under
Section 14.01 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge
of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be released, and the Collateral Agent shall, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described
in this Section 15.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents; provided that such Guarantor is also released from its obligations under the Term Loan Facility Documents and the CapEx Facilities on the same
terms. 
 15.10.    Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has
not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15.04. The provisions of this Section 15.10 shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agents and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Agents and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 

15.11.    Qualified ECP Guarantor. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Section 15 in respect of Swap Obligations ( provided,
however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 15.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this


  
 -272- 













 
Section 15.11, as it relates to such other Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The
obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 15.11 shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the commitments of the Lenders hereunder have been terminated.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 15.11 constitute, and this Section 15.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes
of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 15.12.    Payments. All payments made by the
Guarantors pursuant to this Section 15 in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation, shall be made in the currency of such Guaranteed Obligation and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and shall be subject to the provisions of
Sections 5.03 and 5.04. 
 15.13.    Confirmation. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the Acquisition and agrees
that its Guaranty continues to be valid and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms and continues to guarantee its Guaranteed Obligations after giving effect to the Acquisition.
