and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a
participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation
required hereby. 
 (b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior
to the Closing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to
Administrative Agent on the Closing Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on the Closing Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the Closing Date until the date such amount is
paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon

until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to

Business and (b) the payment of fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith and in connection with the financing of the foregoing, including fees under Section 2.11(a). No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be

 2.7. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes. 

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the
Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided,
that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the
Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. 
 (b) Register. Administrative
Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or
shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding
on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates LCPI to
serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent LCPI serves in such capacity, LCPI and its officers, directors, employees, agents,
subagents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.” 
 (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written
notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to
any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note to evidence such Lender’s
Loan. 
 2.8. Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as
follows: 
 (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus 6.00% per annum; or 

  
 34 









 (ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus
7.00% per annum. 
 (b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided, until the
earlier of (i) the date that GSCP notifies Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans has been completed, in accordance with the terms of the Fee Letter, and (ii) 90 days after the Closing Date, the Loans shall be maintained as
either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than one month or (2) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been
delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. 

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than twelve (12) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In
the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a
Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for
which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender. 

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day
or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the
date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of
conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan
being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s
interest shall be paid on that Loan. 

  
 35 









 (e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a
daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan,
whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided,
however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 2.9. Conversion/Continuation. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.18 and
so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option: 
 (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a
Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or 

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of
such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (b)
Borrower shall deliver by telefacsimile, electronic communication (in pdf format) or hand delivery a fully executed Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than (i) 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business
Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and (ii) 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a
conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be
irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. 
 2.10. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), the overdue principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans or any overdue fees or other overdue amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or
other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such overdue fees and other overdue
amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time
any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per


  
 36 









 
annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a
permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

2.11. Fees. 
 (a) Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender who is a party to this Agreement as a Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Loan as part of
the initial funding to be made on the Closing Date, a closing fee in an amount equal to 10.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Loan, payable to such Lender from, at Borrower’s option, the proceeds of its Loans as and when
funded on the Closing Date and/or the proceeds of loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement made on the Closing Date. Such closing fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable

times separately agreed upon.

giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice and any additional amounts required pursuant to clause (b) or (c) below shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such
voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a). 
 (b) Make-Whole Premium. In the event that

option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in Real Estate Assets, equipment or other long-term tangible assets useful in the business of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Subject to Section 2.15(b), no later than three
(3) Business Days following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15 in an
aggregate amount equal to such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries
to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one year of receipt thereof in Real Estate Assets, equipment or other long-term tangible assets useful in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which investment may include the
repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof. 

  
 38 









 (c) Issuance of Debt. Subject to Section 2.15(b), no later than three
(3) Business Days following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to
be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable fees, costs and
expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses. 
 (d) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.
Subject to Section 2.15(b), in the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2008 (but only to the extent of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow resulting
from operations of the Acquired Business after the Acquisition)), Borrower shall, no later than ninety-five days after the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.15 in an aggregate amount equal to (i) 75% of
such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans and voluntary repayments of the Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) made from operating cash flow (excluding repayments of Revolving Loans
or Swing Line Loans (each as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) except (x) to the extent the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments or
(y) to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to fund fees under Section 2.11(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or under Section 2.11(a) hereof); provided, that if, as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal
Year, the Leverage Ratio (determined for any such period by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year) shall be (A) 3.00:1.00 or less
but greater than 2.50:1.00, Borrower shall only be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby in an amount equal to (i) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of
the Loans and voluntary repayments of the Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) made from operating cash flow (excluding repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans (each as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) except
(x) to the extent the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments or (y) to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to fund fees under
Section 2.11(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or under Section 2.11(a) hereof); (B) 2.50:1.00 or less but greater than 2.00:1.00, Borrower shall only be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby
in an amount equal to (i) 25% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Loans and voluntary repayments of the Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) made from operating cash flow
(excluding repayments of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans (each as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) except (x) to the extent the Revolving Commitments (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) are permanently reduced in
connection with such repayments or (y) to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to fund fees under Section 2.11(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or under Section 2.11(a) hereof); or (C) 2.00:1.00 or less, Borrower shall
not be required to make any prepayments otherwise required hereby. 

  
 39 









 (e) Restrictions on Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.14, no mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.14 (i) to the extent that such net proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow are applied to prepay amounts outstanding under, or to
permanently reduce revolving commitments under, the First Lien Credit Agreement to the extent and in the payment priority required thereunder and (ii) except as required by Section 2.15(b) or 2.15(c) of the First Lien Credit Agreement,
unless otherwise consented to by Borrower and requisite lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement. 
 (f) Prepayment
Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(d), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the
applicable net cash proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrower shall promptly
make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 

2.15. Application of Prepayments. 
 (a) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c). 
 (b) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment”) of the Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative
Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such
amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender
which does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option).
On the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders (which
prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.15(a)), unless otherwise consented to by Requisite Lenders. To the extent any remaining amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment constitutes Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, such amount
shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.14(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, without giving effect to Section 2.15(c) of the First Lien Credit Agreement. Any remaining amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment not constituting
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow shall be retained by Borrower and used for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. 

  
 40 









 2.16. General Provisions Regarding Payments. 

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without
defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of
Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. 

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Base Rate Loans) shall be
accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be
applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal. 
 (c) Administrative Agent (or its
agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due
hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata
Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. 
 (e) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 (f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent in order to
cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose); provided that, prior to the Administrative
Agent charging any such accounts, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with written notice of such charge. 
 (g)
Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received
by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender
(confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. 

  
 41 









 Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the
terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next
succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 

(h) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the maturity
of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in
Section 9.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement. 
 2.17. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves
that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross
action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by
any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and
(b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate
Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received
by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such
purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s
lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. 

2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to
such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and


  
 42 









 
each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be
rescinded by Borrower. 
 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any
Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its
Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely
affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to
convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by
Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s
obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when
required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile, electronic communication or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of
its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the
obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for
requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by
such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated 

  
 43 









 
profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or
continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of
any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower. 
 (d)
Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. 

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this
Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause
(i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an
offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall
be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19. 

2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender
shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date
hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects
such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax or changes the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender (other than, in each case, any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds
applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the
account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other 

  
 44 









 
than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition
(other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of
maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall pay within 10 days to such Lender, upon receipt of the
statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be
necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or
applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to,
such Lender’s Loans or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in,
applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 10 days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the
statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts (including Taxes on payments made pursuant to this Section 2.19(b)) as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation
on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that, Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days
prior to such request; provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any change in law within such 180-day period. Such Lender shall
deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, etc. 

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents shall (except to the extent required 

  
 45 









 
by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld
or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or
organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. 
 (b)
Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any
of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which
penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name
of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of
that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date an amount equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and
(iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower
shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, no Credit Party shall be required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 2.20 to the extent that such obligation is imposed on amounts payable to Administrative Agent or
such Lender at the time such Person becomes a party to this Agreement. 
 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify, without duplication, Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten
days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) or Other Taxes paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of Borrower hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 46 









 (e) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United
States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower, on or
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at
such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case,
any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other
Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender,
and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to
such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a
“U.S. Lender”) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049 -4(c) shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the
date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding
matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms,
certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI
and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such
Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect
to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to indemnify or pay any additional amount
to Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 2.20(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the first or second sentence of this Section 2.20(e), or
(2) to notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as 

  
 47 









 
the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first or second sentence of this Section 2.20(e) on the Closing Date or on the date of the
Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.20(e) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.20 in the event that,
as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates
or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to
this paragraph that such Lender is not legally entitled to deliver. 
 (f) Refunds. If Administrative Agent or a Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Tax as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such
refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Tax giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative
Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other
Person. 
 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such
Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under
Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the existing internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its
Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected
Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its discretion, the making,
issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will
not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A
certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative
Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 48 









 2.22. Intentionally Omitted. 

2.23. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:
(a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the
circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after
Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of
Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost
Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated
Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any,
payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender 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 Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to
Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment to which Section 2.13(c)
applies and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon
the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall
survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written
notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence
within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 on
behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6.

enforceability, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 4.7. Historical Financial
Statements. The Historical Financial Statements set forth in (a) clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition thereof were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a
consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended,

equitable principles. 
 4.14. Environmental Matters. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their
respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law where the subject of such letter or request could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are and, to each of
Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment,
storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent, which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Compliance with all current or reasonably
foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 4.15. No Defaults. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default,
except, in each case, where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.16. Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts in effect on the Closing Date, and except as described thereon, all such Material
Contracts are in full force and effect and no defaults exist thereunder as of the Closing Date. 

  
 59 









 4.17. Governmental Regulation. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
“registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 4.18. Margin Stock. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to any Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any
such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of said Board of Governors. 

4.19. Employee Matters. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of Holdings and Borrower, threatened against any of them before the
National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of Holdings and Borrower,
threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the best knowledge of Holdings and Borrower, no union representation question existing with
respect to the employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of Holdings and Borrower, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or
(c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.20. Employee Benefit Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, Holdings, each of
its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each
Employee Benefit Plan. Other than with respect to any retirement plans newly adopted or spun-off as contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement, each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified or has a determination letter request pending with the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has
occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would reasonably be expected to cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability (i) to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) or the
Internal Revenue Service, in either case, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, or (ii) to any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA, in any case, has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, any of
its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all


  
 60 









 
other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The aggregate liability of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries with respect to “expected post-retirement benefit obligations” within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 106 does not exceed $5,000,000. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities
under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan by an amount that, if required to be paid, would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Holdings, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete
withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Holdings, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material
“default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. 

4.21. Certain Fees. As of the Closing Date, no broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to
the transactions contemplated by the Related Agreements, except (i) as payable to (a) the Agents and the Lenders and (b) the agents and lenders party to the First Lien Credit Agreement and related documents thereto and (ii) as
set forth on Schedule 4.21. 
 4.22. Solvency. As of the Closing Date, the Credit Parties are Solvent on a consolidated
basis. 
 4.23. Related Agreements. Holdings and Borrower have delivered to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent
complete and correct copies of (i) each Related Agreement and of all exhibits and schedules thereto as of the date hereof and (ii) copies of any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of each Related
Agreement entered into after the date hereof. 
 4.24. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations, orders, final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees and rules of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its
business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with
respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.25. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents,
certificates or written statements (other than projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials) furnished to any 

  
 61 









 
Agent or Lender by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact (known to Holdings or Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same
were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions (including estimates from third party sources) believed by Holdings or Borrower to be reasonable at the
time of preparation, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts, that such projections as to future events are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ control, that no assurance can be given that such projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected
results. As of the Closing Date, there are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Holdings or Borrower (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein, in the definitive proxy statement mailed to stockholders of Parent or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders
for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 4.26. Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each
Credit Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the Untied States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as
amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee,
political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 
 SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS 

Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that until payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim
has been made), each Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5. 
 5.1. Financial Statements and Other Reports. Holdings will deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders: 
 (a) Reserved.

(except as otherwise disclosed in such financial statements) and that the examination by such accountants in connection with such consolidated financial statements has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) together with
a written statement by such independent certified public accountants stating (1) that their audit examination has included a review of the terms of Section 6.7 of this Agreement and the related definitions and (2) whether, in

Administrative Agent or any Lender; and 

  
 65 









 (o) Certification of Public Information. Concurrently with the delivery of any
document or notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1, Holdings shall indicate in writing whether such document or notice contains Nonpublic Information. Holdings and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 5.1 or otherwise are being distributed through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another relevant website or other information platform (the “Platform”), any document or notice that Holdings has indicated contains
Nonpublic Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If Holdings has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 contains Nonpublic Information,
Administrative Agent shall deem such information to be Nonpublic Information until confirmed otherwise by Holdings (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall not post such document or notice on that portion of the
Platform designated for Lenders who do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Holdings, its Subsidiaries and their Securities. 
 5.2. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8, each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect its (i) existence and (ii) all rights and franchises, licenses and permits, and Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business, except in the case of clause (ii) to the extent that failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.3. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will,
and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims
for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto;
provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be
required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of
the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or claim. 
 5.4. Maintenance of Properties. Each Credit Party will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and subject to casualty and condemnation events (in which case such property shall be repaired or replaced
as promptly as practicable), all material tangible properties used or useful in the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. 

5.5. Insurance. Holdings will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, such public
liability insurance, third party property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as
may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons 

  
 66 









 
of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and
conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings will maintain or cause to be maintained (a) flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community
that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (b) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under
such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar
businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall (i) in the case of each public liability insurance policy and, if available from the relevant insurance carrier, each casualty insurance policy, name Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured
Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that
names Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and provides that insurer shall endeavor to give at least thirty days’ (10 days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to
Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon notice from Borrower that
it or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall exercise the reinvestment option described in Section 2.14(b), the Collateral Agent shall promptly turn over to Borrower any insurance proceeds received pursuant to this Section. 

5.6. Books and Records; Inspections. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of
record and accounts in which full, true and correct entries in conformity in all material respects with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized representatives designated by any Lender to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Credit Party and any of its respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their
financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and (so long as a representative of Holdings or Borrower has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to be present at such
discussions) independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested; provided that, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower shall not be required to pay the expense of any such visit by a representative of a Lender, and shall only be required to pay the expense of two such visits by a representative of Administrative Agent during any Fiscal Year. 

5.7. Lenders Meetings. Holdings and Borrower will, upon the reasonable request of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders,
participate in a meeting of Administrative Agent and Lenders once during each Fiscal Year to be held at Borrower’s corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent) at such time as may be
agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent. 
 5.8. Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party will comply, and shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders 

  
 67 









 
of any Governmental Authority (including all Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 5.9. Environmental. 
 (a) Environmental Disclosure. Holdings will deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders: 
 (i) as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of all environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports of any kind or character, whether prepared by personnel of Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, governmental authorities or any other Persons, with respect to environmental matters at any Facility or with respect to any Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000; 
 (ii) promptly upon the
occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under any applicable Environmental Laws that could reasonably be
expected to give rise to Environmental Claims resulting in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000, (2) any remedial action taken by Holdings or any other Person in response to (A) any
Hazardous Materials Activities the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in one or more Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in
excess of $5,000,000, or (B) any Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000, and (3) Holdings’ or Borrower’s
discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Real Estate Asset that could cause such Real Estate Asset or any part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy,
transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws; 
 (iii) as soon as practicable following the
sending or receipt thereof by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, a copy of any and all written communications with respect to (1) any Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000, (2) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Environmental Claims resulting
in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000, and (3) any request for information from any governmental agency that suggests such agency is investigating whether Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for any Hazardous Materials Activity that could reasonably be expected to give rise to Environmental Claims resulting in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of
$5,000,000; 

  
 68 









 (iv) prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any
proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to (A) expose Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that could reasonably be
expected to result in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $5,000,000 or (B) affect the ability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect all material Governmental
Authorizations required under any Environmental Laws for their respective operations and (2) any proposed action to be taken by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations in a manner that could reasonably be expected to
subject Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under any Environmental Laws that could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in
excess of $5,000,000; and 
 (v) with reasonable promptness, such other documents and information as from time to
time may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.9(a). 
 (b) Hazardous Materials Activities, Etc. Each Credit Party shall promptly take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries promptly to take, any and all actions necessary to (i) cure any
violation of applicable Environmental Laws by such Credit Party or its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) make an appropriate response to any
Environmental Claim against such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder where failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 5.10. Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower

 (c) Maximum
Consolidated Capital Expenditures. Holdings shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to, make or incur Consolidated Capital Expenditures, in any Fiscal 

  
 80 









 
Year, in an aggregate amount for Holdings and its Subsidiaries in excess of $172,500,000 for such Fiscal Year; provided, such amount for any Fiscal Year shall be increased by an amount
equal to the excess, if any (but in no event more than $86,250,000) of such amount for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (as adjusted in accordance with this proviso) over the actual amount of Consolidated Capital Expenditures for such previous
Fiscal Year. 
 (d) Certain Calculations. With respect to any period during which any Investment, a Permitted Acquisition
or an Asset Sale or other disposition has occurred (each, a “Subject Transaction”), for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in this Section 6.7, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be
calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis (including (x) pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to a specific transaction, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing
impact, in each case determined on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act and as interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would include cost savings resulting from
head count reduction, closure of facilities and similar restructuring charges, which pro forma adjustments shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Holdings and (y) pro forma adjustments for cost savings that Holdings reasonably
determines are probable based upon specifically identified actions to be taken within six months of the date of a Subject Transaction (net of any reduction in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a result of such cost savings that Holdings reasonably
determines are probable) in an amount not to exceed 10% of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the entity acquired or disposed of in connection with such Subject Transaction; provided that Holdings’ chief financial officer shall have
certified in an officer’s certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent the specific actions to be taken, the cost savings to be achieved from each such action, that such savings have been determined to be probable and the amount, if any,
of any reduction in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in connection therewith) using the historical audited (if available) financial statements of any business so acquired or to be acquired or sold or to be sold and the consolidated financial statements
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Subject Transaction, and any Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection therewith, had been consummated or incurred or repaid at the beginning of such period (and assuming
that such Indebtedness bears interest during any portion of the applicable measurement period prior to the relevant acquisition at the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to outstanding Loans incurred during such period). 

6.8. Fundamental Changes; Disposition of Assets; Acquisitions. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or convey, sell, lease, enter into an Exclusive IP License, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of,
in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any part of its business, assets or property of any kind whatsoever, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or leased, or
acquire by purchase or otherwise (other than purchases or other acquisitions of inventory, materials and equipment and Capital Expenditures in the ordinary course of business) the business, property or fixed assets of, or stock or other evidence of
beneficial ownership of, any Person or any division or line of business or other business unit of any Person, except:

Subsidiary of Borrower may be merged with or into Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary, or be liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or all or any part of its business, property or assets may be conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed
of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary; provided, in the case of such a merger, Borrower or such Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be the continuing or surviving Person;


  
 81 









 (b) Borrower may permit another Person to merge or consolidate with Borrower or a Subsidiary
in order to effect a Permitted Acquisition that is permitted hereunder (provided that the surviving entity is the Borrower or a wholly-owned Subsidiary); 
 (c) sales, transfers or other dispositions of assets that do not constitute Asset Sales; 
 (d) Asset Sales (including Exclusive IP Licenses), the proceeds of which (valued at the principal amount thereof in the case of non-Cash proceeds consisting of notes or other debt Securities and valued at
fair market value in the case of other non-Cash proceeds) when aggregated with the proceeds of all other Asset Sales made within the same Fiscal Year, are less than $57,500,000; provided (other than in the case of Exclusive IP Licenses that
are not fully paid) (1) the consideration received for such assets shall be in an amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof (determined in good faith by an Authorized Officer of Borrower), (2) no less than 80% thereof shall be
paid in Cash, and (3) the Net Asset Sale Proceeds thereof shall be applied as required by Section 2.14(a); 
 (e)
disposals of obsolete, worn out or surplus property; 
 (f) Permitted Acquisitions, the Acquisition Consideration for which
constitutes (i) less than $143,750,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year and (ii) less than $230,000,000 in the aggregate from the Closing Date to the date of determination; provided, in respect of acquisition targets not domiciled
within the United States, the consideration for such Persons or assets shall not exceed more than $57,500,000 per Fiscal Year; 

(g) Investments made in accordance with Section 6.6; 
 (h) sales, transfers and dispositions to Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided that, any such sales, transfers or dispositions involving a Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party shall be made in

 (i) sales of any fixed or capital assets pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction in
compliance with clause (a) of Section 6.10; 
 (j) licenses or sublicenses of Intellectual Property of a Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Exclusive IP Licenses) entered into in the ordinary course of business, or not interfering in any respect with the ordinary conduct of, or not materially detracting from the value of, the business of Borrower
or such Subsidiary; 
 (k) terminations of leases in the ordinary course of business; 

  
 82 









 (l) leases, subleases, licenses and sublicenses of real or personal property entered into by
Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (m) sales of non-core assets acquired in
connection with Permitted Acquisitions. 
 6.9. Disposal of Subsidiary Interests. Except for any sale of all of its
interests in the Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.8, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (a) directly or indirectly sell, assign, pledge or
otherwise encumber or dispose of any Equity Interests of any of its Subsidiaries, except to qualify directors if required by applicable law; or (b) permit any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise

 6.10. Sales and Lease-Backs. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, become or remain liable as lessee or as a guarantor or other surety with respect to any lease of any property (whether real, personal or mixed), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, which such Credit Party (a) has sold or
transferred or is to sell or to transfer to any other Person (other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), or (b) intends to use for substantially the same purpose as any other property which has been or is to be sold or transferred by such

prohibit Borrower or any Subsidiary from engaging in a sale or transfer of property permitted by Section 6.8(c) and thereafter leasing such property; provided that (A) such sale or transfer is made solely for cash consideration,
(B) any Capital Lease obligations of Borrower or any Subsidiary created thereby are permitted under Section 6.1 and (C) any Net Asset Sale Proceeds received in respect of such sale or transfer shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.14(a), provided that the reinvestment provisions of Section 2.14(a) shall not apply to any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds. 
 6.11. Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction
(including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of Holdings on terms that are not arm’s length; provided, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (a) any
transaction between Borrower and any Guarantor or between two or more Guarantors; (b) reasonable and customary fees and indemnitees paid to members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries;
(c) compensation arrangements, indemnities and reimbursement of expenses for officers and other employees of Holdings and its Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business; (d) Restricted Junior Payments permitted under

 83 









 6.12. Conduct of Business. From and after the Closing Date, no Credit Party shall,
nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage substantially in any business other than (i) the businesses engaged in by such Credit Party on the Closing Date, similar or related businesses and supportive, complementary or ancillary
businesses thereto; provided that such supportive, complementary or ancillary businesses will not fundamentally and substantively alter the character of the businesses of such Credit Party, taken as a whole, from the business conducted by
such Credit Party on the Closing Date, (ii) any business acquired as an incidental part of a Permitted Acquisition; provided that, such businesses are not acquired in anticipation of such Permitted Acquisition and (iii) such other
lines of business as may be consented to by Requisite Lenders. 
 6.13. Permitted Activities of Holdings.
(a) Holdings shall not (i) incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness or any other obligation or liability whatsoever other than the Indebtedness and obligations under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Related

$2,500,000 of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA during any Fiscal Year of Borrower; provided that if Boise Hong Kong Limited does not comply with the foregoing, such non-compliance shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as 65% of the

 SECTION 7. GUARANTY 
 7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that
would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 

7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing
Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this
Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing
Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair
Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or
before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum
aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of
the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with 

  
 85 









 
respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of
any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2),
minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder
shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be
construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 

7.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall
become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due
as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a
claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. 
 7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made). In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: 
 (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and
not of collectability. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be primary obligations of each Guarantor and this Guaranty shall not be merely a contract of surety; 
 (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the
existence of such Event of Default; 

  
 86 









 (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of
Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against
Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; 
 (d) payment by
any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from
its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability
hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without
notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend,
accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with
respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed
Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any
security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any
security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any
such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and with any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether
or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for
the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and 
 (f) this
Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made)), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or
enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or 

  
 87 









 
enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or
provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, of any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case
whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or of such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed
Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to
apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any
corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses (other than payment
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made)), set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including
failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.5.
Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to
(i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other
Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary
whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the
unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made); (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;
(e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the 

  
 88 









 
terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or
any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or under any agreement or
instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in
Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms
hereof. 
 7.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, its right to enforce any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor
now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in
equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or
security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right
of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to
the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any
rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and
subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 7.7. Subordination of Other
Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby 

  
 89 









 
subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting,
impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. 
 7.8.
Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting
or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 
 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made
to Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to
disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial
condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon
the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now
known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. 
 7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations
remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or
insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or
involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or
decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by
operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed
Obligations because it 

  
 90 









 
is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order
which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow
the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. 
 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as
the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered
shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 
 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor.
If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such
Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale (including by merger
or consolidation). 
 SECTION 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

behalf of such holder or holders), to cause, that Indebtedness to become or be declared due and payable (or redeemable) prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the case may be; provided, that with
respect to any such failure to pay or breach or default under the First Lien Credit Agreement, such event shall only constitute an Event of Default hereunder if

etc. Any representation, warranty, certification or other written statement made or deemed made by any Credit Party in any Credit Document or in any statement or certificate at any time given by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in
writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false in any material respect as of the date made or deemed made; or 
 (e) Other Defaults Under Credit Documents. Any Credit Party shall default in the performance of or compliance with any term contained herein or any of the other Credit Documents, other than any
such term referred to in any other Section of this Section 8.1, and such default shall not have been remedied or waived within thirty days after the earlier of (i) an officer of such Credit Party becoming aware of such default or
(ii) receipt by Borrower of notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender of such default; or 
 (f) Involuntary
Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc. (i) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under
any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, which decree or order is not stayed; or any other similar relief shall be granted under any applicable federal or state law; or (ii) an involuntary case

of its Material Subsidiaries shall have an order for relief entered with respect to it or shall commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, or to the conversion of an involuntary case to a 

  
 92 









 
voluntary case, under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, trustee or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property; or
Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall be unable, or shall fail generally, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay
its debts as such debts become due; or the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) shall adopt any resolution or otherwise authorize any action to approve any of the
actions referred to herein or in Section 8.1(f); or 
 (h) Judgments and Attachments. Any money judgment, writ or
warrant of attachment or similar process involving in the aggregate at any time an amount in excess of $17,250,000 (in either case to the extent not adequately covered by insurance as to which a solvent and unaffiliated insurance company has

 (k) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall occur; or 
 (l)
Guaranties, Collateral Documents and other Credit Documents. At any time after the execution and delivery thereof, (i) the Guaranty for any reason, other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations
for which no claim has been made), shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms) or shall be declared to be null and void or any Guarantor shall repudiate its obligations thereunder, or (ii) this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document ceases to be in full force and effect (other than by reason of a release of Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, the satisfaction in full of the Obligations

priority required by the relevant Collateral Document, in each case for any reason other than the failure of Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to take any action within its control, or (iii) any Credit Party shall contest the validity or
enforceability of any Credit Document in writing or deny in writing that it has any further liability, including with respect to future advances by Lenders, under any Credit Document to which it is a party or shall contest the validity or perfection
of any Lien in any Collateral purported to be covered by the Collateral Documents; 

  
 93 









 THEN, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (1) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), automatically, and (2) if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of (or with the consent of) Requisite Lenders, upon notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent,
(A) each of the following shall immediately become due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by
applicable law: (I) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Loans, and (II) all other Obligations; and (B) Administrative Agent may cause Collateral Agent to enforce any and all Liens and security interests created
pursuant to Collateral Documents. 
 SECTION 9. AGENTS 
 9.1. Appointment of Agents. GSCP is hereby appointed Syndication Agent hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes GSCP to act as Syndication Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the
other Credit Documents. LCPI is hereby appointed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes LCPI to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in accordance with
the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. Lehman Brothers Inc. is hereby appointed Documentation Agent hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes Lehman Brothers Inc. to act as Documentation Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the
other Credit Documents. Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Credit Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agents
and Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof (except as set forth in Section 9.7). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent
of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Each of Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, without consent of
or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date, neither GSCP, in its capacity as Syndication Agent, nor Lehman Brothers Inc., in its capacity as
Documentation Agent, shall have any obligations but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 9. 
 9.2. Powers
and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted
to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and in the other
Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect
of any Lender; and nothing herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as
expressly set forth herein or therein. Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall (i) furnish to GSCP, in its capacity as 

  
 94 









 
Syndication Agent, upon GSCP’s request, a copy of the Register, (ii) cooperate with GSCP in granting access to any Lenders (or potential Lenders) who GSCP identifies to the Platform and
(iii) maintain GSCP’s access to the Platform. 
 9.3. General Immunity. 

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any
financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party or to any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any
disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans. 

(b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders
for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any
power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under
Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or
authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its
Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting
hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5). 

(c) Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this
Agreement or under any other Credit 

  
 95 









 
Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this
Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and
privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including
exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights
and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no
Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. 
 9.4. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions
delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of,
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for
services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
 9.5. Lenders’
Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. 
 (a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to
Lenders. 

  
 96 









 (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment
Agreement and funding its Loan on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as
applicable on the Closing Date. 
 9.6. Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally
agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other
Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any
indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such
additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess
of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit,
cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. 
 9.7. Successor
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the
right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by Borrower (which approval (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If the Requisite Lenders have not appointed a successor Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder and in any case, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become 

  
 97 









 
effective on the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. If neither the Requisite Lenders nor Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders
shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Requisite Lenders or
Administrative Agent, (i) Administrative Agent, by notice to Borrower and the Requisite Lenders, shall retain its role as Collateral Agent under any Collateral Document and (ii) the resigning Administrative Agent shall deliver the Register
to the Borrower on the effective date of its resignation, the Borrower shall maintain such Register until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, and promptly upon appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
deliver the Register to such Person. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, resignation of LCPI or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation of LCPI or its successor as
Collateral Agent, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor
Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. 
 9.8. Collateral Documents and Guaranty. 
 (a) Agents under Collateral
Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with
respect to the Guaranty, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other
disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12
or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented. 
 (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each
Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be
exercised solely by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event
of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other


  
 98 









 
disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall
otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

9.9. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any
Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses
(including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1. Notices. 
 (a) Notices Generally. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to a Credit Party, Syndication Agent, Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or Documentation Agent

 (i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender
pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic 

  
 99 









 
communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be
deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if
such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and
(ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such
notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (ii) Each of the Credit
Parties understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such
electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(iii) The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”.
None of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or
the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications. 

(iv) Each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Agents agree that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

 100









 
counsel and, if reasonably required by Administrative Agent, one local or specialist counsel for Agent and Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction, provided further that if counsel for
Administrative Agent determines in good faith that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest that requires separate representation for the Agents, Borrower shall be required to pay for one additional counsel for all such Agents taken as a
whole; (d) all the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of creating, perfecting and recording Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including filing and recording

preservation of any of the Collateral; (g) all other actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and the negotiation, preparation and

costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for one counsel for Agents and Lenders (unless either (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that there is an actual or potential conflict of
interest that requires separate representation for the Agents or (ii) the Lenders, or any of them, requests separate counsel, in which case, Borrower shall be required to pay for one additional counsel for all such Agents and all such
requesting Lenders, taken as a whole) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of such
Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of
the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. 
 10.3. Indemnity. 
 (a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to
Section 10.2, on and after the Closing Date, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent, Arranger and Lender and the officers, partners, members,
directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates of each Agent, Arranger and Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall
have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or its employees,
agents, directors or affiliates or (ii) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise 

  
 101









 
out of or are in connection with any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against
another Indemnitee (other than against any Arranger or Administrative Agent in their capacities as such), in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to
defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, each Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed
by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to
herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Holdings and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to
sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 10.4. Set-Off. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account
of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and
although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 
 10.5. Amendments and Waivers.

 (a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided
that Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or 

  
 102









 
supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not materially and adversely affect the rights of
any Lender. 
 (b) Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly
affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would: 
 (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note; 
 (ii)
waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment); 
 (iii) reserved; 

(iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any
Loan pursuant to Section 2.10) or any fee or any premium payable hereunder; 
 (v) extend the time for
payment of any such interest or fees; 
 (vi) reduce the principal amount of any Loan; 

(vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(b)(ii), this Section 10.5(b),
Section 10.5(c) or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required; 
 (viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”; provided, that with the consent of Requisite Lenders (excluding any Lenders who will no
longer be Lenders following the borrowing and use of proceeds of the additional extensions of credit), additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata
Share” on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Loans are included on the Closing Date; 
 (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents; or 

(x) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit
Document. 
 (c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit
Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall: 
 (i) amend, modify, terminate or
waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent; or 

  
 103









 (ii) amend or modify the definition of “Change of Control”
or waive any Event of Default under Section 8.1(k) without the written consent of the Requisite Supermajority Lenders. 

(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. 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. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding
upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party. 
 10.6.
Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be
assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the
holders and owners of the corresponding Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment
Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d). Each
assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice
thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the
corresponding Loans. 
 (c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a 

  
 104









 
portion of its Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying,
percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan): 
 (i) to any Person
meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”; and 
 (ii)
to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee”; provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than
$1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender). 
 (d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to
the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States
federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except
that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to GSCP or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a
Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender). 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each
Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Loans represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and
expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Loans in violation of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive
control). 
 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the
“Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party
hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which
survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all
indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning 

  
 105









 
Lender as a Lender hereunder); and (iii) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or
to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. 
 (g) Participations. 
 (i) Each Lender shall have the right
at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Loans or in any other Obligation. 

(ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be
entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note 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 (it being understood that any change to the component
definitions of the Leverage Ratio affecting the determination of interest shall not require the consent of such participant)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, 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 shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant
if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all
of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any bank that is a member of the Farm
Credit System that (A) has purchased a participation in the minimum amount of $10,000,000, (B) has been designated by written notice to Administrative Agent as being entitled to be accorded the right of a voting participant, and
(C) receives the prior consent of Administrative Agent to become a voting participant, shall be entitled to vote, and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, as if such participant
were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. 
 (iii) Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent and (y) a participant that 

  
 106









 
would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such
participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender; provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall
require any notice to Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided
such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Certain Other Assignments and
Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its
Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable
Federal Reserve Bank or other pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 (i) In connection with an additional extension of credit as described in Section 10.5(b)(viii), the Borrower shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at
least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders who will no longer be Lenders following the borrowing and use of proceeds of such additional extensions of credit, instead of prepaying the Loans, to (i) require such Lenders to
assign such Loans to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.5 (with such amendment, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.5(b)(viii)).
Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be assigned shall be purchased at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid), accompanied by payment of any accrued
interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18(c). By receiving such purchase price, such Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans of such Lenders pursuant to the terms of an Assignment
Agreement, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the
Collateral during any such replacement. 
 10.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 
 10.8. Survival of
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to
the 

  
 107









 
contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive
the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof. 
 10.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising,
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 

10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under
any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.
The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 

10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part
hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 

  
 108









 10.14. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 

10.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO
OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND
IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY HERETO AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE
(C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PARTY HERETO IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT ANY PARTY
HERETO RETAINS THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL
DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS
WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO
FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS


  
 109









 
WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
 10.17.
Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements
hereof in accordance with such Agent’s and such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, Administrative Agent may disclose such
information to the Lenders and each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to
organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee,
transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap
or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other
provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document
and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each
Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine
examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. 
 10.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate
charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard
to the 

  
 110









 
preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the
total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are
repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at
all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest
Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any
consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made
hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. 
 10.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or

10.20. Effectiveness; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each
of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. With the exception of those terms contained in the Amended and Restated Commitment

 10.22. Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same

applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and
their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of Borrower. Borrower 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 Lenders and Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the
Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a
principal and not the agent or fiduciary of Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrower with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to Borrower except the obligations expressly set
forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with
respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Borrower 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 Borrower, in connection with such
transaction or the process leading thereto.

Trademark License. 
 4.4 Other Actions.

directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly to the Collateral Agent; and (3) enforce, at the
expense of such Grantor, collection of any such Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. If the Collateral Agent notifies any Grantor

Support shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release
wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon; provided, however, that until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the requirements for


  
 20 









 
deposit or delivery under this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent. 

6.6 Pledged Equity Interests, Investment Related Property. 

(a) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Pledged
Equity Interest or other Investment Related Property, upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or Investment Related Property (other than a merger or consolidation with, or a liquidation
or dissolution the proceeds of which are distributed to another Grantor), then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and
(b) such Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, that are necessary or, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, Control of the Collateral Agent
over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the requirements for Control or delivery under this
paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by Control of such Collateral in favor of, or delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest,
distributions, securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as the Collateral Agent has not given notice to the applicable Grantor to the contrary, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends
and distributions paid and all payments of principal and interest; 
 (b) Voting. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has not given the
applicable Grantor notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to Investment Related Property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to
exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided,
no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Investment Related Property or any part thereof; it being understood, however, that
neither the voting by such Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or such Grantor’s consent to, the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to ordinary course
of business matters at any such meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement within the meaning of this Section 6.6(b)(i) and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after the Collateral Agent has given the applicable Grantor notice: 

  
 21 










	 	(1)	all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant
hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested (A) until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, in the First Lien Collateral Agent and (B) thereafter, in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have
the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and 

  

	 	(2)	in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all
dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) (A) to the First Lien Collateral Agent, until the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations has occurred, and (B) thereafter, Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that
the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 8.1; 

 (c) except as expressly
permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of (I) until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent, and (II) thereafter, the Collateral Agent, it shall not vote to enable
or take any other action to: (i) amend or terminate any partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents in any way that materially adversely affects the rights
of such Grantor with respect to any Investment Related Property or materially adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest, (ii) permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to
issue any additional stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the right of purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity
interest of any nature of such issuer except to another Grantor or, to the extent required by applicable law, other Persons (e.g., directors’ qualifying shares) who have caused such property to become subjected to a perfected Lien thereon in
favor of the Collateral Agent, (iii) other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement, permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to dispose of all or a material portion of their assets, (iv) waive any default under or breach of
any terms of organizational document relating to the issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or the terms of any Pledged Debt, or (v) cause any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for
purposes of the UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause (v), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or action
and, in such event, shall take all steps necessary or, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, advisable to establish the Collateral Agent’s “Control” thereof (subject to the interest of the First Lien Collateral Agent
until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations); provided, however, that until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the requirements for Control or delivery under this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by Control of
such Collateral in favor of, or delivery of such Collateral to, the First Lien Collateral Agent; and 
 (d) except as expressly
permitted by the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of (I) until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien 

  
 22 









 
Collateral Agent, and (II) thereafter, the Collateral Agent, it shall not permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to merge or consolidate unless (i) such issuer creates a security
interest that is perfected by a filed financing statement (that is not effective solely under section 9-508 of the UCC) in collateral in which such new debtor has or acquires rights, (ii) all the outstanding capital stock or other equity
interests of the surviving or resulting corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity is, upon such merger or consolidation, pledged hereunder; provided that if the surviving or resulting Grantors upon any such merger or
consolidation involving an issuer which is a Foreign Subsidiary, then such Grantor shall only be required to pledge equity interests in accordance with Section 2.2. 
 6.7 Intellectual Property. 
 (a) subject to such Grantor’s reasonable

the validity, grant, or enforceability of the security interest granted therein; 
 (b) subject to such Grantor’s
reasonable business judgment, it shall not, with respect to any Trademarks constituting Material Intellectual Property (including, without limitation, such Trademarks licensed pursuant to the Material Trademark License), cease the use of any of such

foreign counterpart of the foregoing, necessary to pursue any filed application and maintain any registration of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned or exclusively licensed under the Material Trademark License (to the extent Grantor has the
rights therein to do so) by such Grantor and that, in each case, constitutes Material Intellectual Property; 
 (e) subject to
such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, in the event that any Material Intellectual Property owned, or exclusively licensed under the Material Trademark License (to the extent Grantor has the rights therein to do so) by such Grantor is
infringed, misappropriated, or diluted by a third party, and if Grantor knows of such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, such Grantor shall promptly take reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution or to
otherwise protect its rights in such Material Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages; 
 (f) subject to such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, it shall take all reasonable steps under the circumstances to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets which


  
 23

shall take) such action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.

(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in intellectual
property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or

 (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, intellectual property security agreements and
amendments to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine are necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements
may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to ensure the
perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect. Each
Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after obtaining such
Grantor’s approval of and signature to such modification by amending Schedule 5.2 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor after

title or interest. 
 7.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may
become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each
Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the
addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or
becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as such Grantor might do. 
 8.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured

failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. 
 (b) The
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or
the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further 

  
 27 









 
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any
portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any
claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the
deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such
Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their
stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 (c) The
Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. 
 (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of
the Collateral. 
 9.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Credit
Agreement or in the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral
Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral
Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such
proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to
the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 9.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by


  
 28 









 
Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited
with proceeds of the sale. 
 9.4 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including
a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and
that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public
sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all
such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 
 9.5 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise the rights and remedies under Section 9
hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable by such Grantor, an irrevocable
(during the continuance of an Event of Default), non-exclusive license (subject, (i) in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such
Trademarks, and (ii) in the case of Trade Secrets, to an obligation of the Collateral Agent to take steps reasonable under the circumstances to keep the Trade Secrets confidential to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trade Secrets) to use
or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access to all media owned by such Grantor in which any of the licensed items may be recorded
or stored. 
 9.6 Intellectual Property. 
 (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 1.3, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default: 

  
 29 









 (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all
lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and, subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify
the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any such Intellectual Property as
provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in such Intellectual Property by
others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation; 

(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the
Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate
to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; 
 (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment
and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual
Property; 
 (iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any
obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the
Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor
might have done; 
 (v) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in
respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7 hereof; provided, however, that until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, the requirements for delivery under this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent; and 

(vi) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly
any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. 

  
 30 









 (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to
the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral
Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned
to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as
well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by
or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. 
 9.7 Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts. (a) If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, upon the Collateral Agent giving notice to the applicable Grantor (other
than in the case of an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(f) and 8.1(g) of the Credit Agreement), all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash
Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by
such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account to the extent required to pay Secured Obligations due and payable; provided, however, that until the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the requirements for delivery under this paragraph shall be deemed to have been satisfied by delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent. Any Cash Proceeds received by the
Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) shall be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing. 
 (b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, upon giving notices to the applicable Grantor (other than in the case of an Event of Default under Sections
8.1(f) and 8.1(g) of the Credit Agreement), apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent to be
applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing. 
 SECTION 10. COLLATERAL AGENT. 

The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof,
the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits
hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the


  
 31 









 
Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the Collateral Agent including, without
limitation, the provisions relating to resignation of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS. 
 This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
obligations), be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations), the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record
and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of
such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be
automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the
filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release. 

SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. 
 The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of
reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any
part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the
Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 32 









 SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in
the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of,
any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of (I) until the Discharge of
the First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent, and (II) thereafter, the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit
Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit
Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from
multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission (in .pdf
format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF
PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST). 
 THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO
JURISDICTION” AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. 

  
 33 









 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

 TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 PLEDGE SUPPLEMENT 

This PLEDGE SUPPLEMENT, dated [mm/dd/yy], is delivered by [NAME OF GRANTOR] a [NAME OF STATE OF INCORPORATION]

[                    ], in its capacity as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the
“Securities Intermediary”) is delivered pursuant to (i) Section 4.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement (First Lien) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Security
Agreement”), dated as of February 22, 2008 among Aldabra Holding Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Aldabra Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to be merged with and into Boise Paper Holdings,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, the other Grantors party thereto and the First Lien Collateral Agent, and (ii) Section 4.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Second Lien Security Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”), dated as of February 22, 2008 among Aldabra Holding Sub LLC,
Aldabra Sub LLC, Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C., the other Grantors party thereto and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the First Lien Security
Agreement. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. 
 Section 1. Establishment of Securities Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (a) The Securities Intermediary has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor
account, the “Securities Account”) and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number of the Securities Account without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent (or, if the First Lien
Collateral Agent has delivered a Notice of Termination (as defined below), the Second Lien Collateral Agent); 
 (b) All
securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Securities Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities
account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to the Debtor
except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank; 
 (c) All
property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and 

  
 C-1









 (d) The Securities Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of
Section 8-501 of the UCC and the Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC. 
 Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset,
security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. 

Section 3. Control of the Securities Account. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order or direction
from the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent (with, until the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have delivered to the Securities Intermediary a Notice of Termination, the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent)
directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities Account and all securities entitlements therein, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order or direction without further consent by the
Debtor or any other person. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders conflict with any entitlement order or direction issued by either Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders
issued by the applicable Collateral Agent. In the event the Securities Intermediary receives conflicting orders or directions from the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby
expressly instructs the Securities Intermediary to follow the orders and directions originated by the First Lien Collateral Agent. 
 Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security
interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agents. The financial assets and
other items deposited to the Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agents (except that the Securities Intermediary may set off
(i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such
Securities Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds). 
 Section 5.
Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Securities Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities
Intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements. 
 (a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; 

  
 C-2









 (b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be
binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; 
 (c) The Securities
Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (i) There are no other control agreements entered into
between the Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account; 
 (ii) It has
not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with
entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other person; and 
 (iii) It
has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or the Collateral Agents purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement

 DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 This Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of
[            ], 20[    ] (this “Agreement”) among
[                    ] (the “Debtor”), Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as collateral agent for the Secured Parties referred to
in the First Lien Security Agreement (as defined herein) (the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as collateral agent for the Secured Parties referred to in the Second Lien Security Agreement (as defined
herein) (the “Second Lien Collateral Agent” and, together with the First Lien Collateral Agent, the “Collateral Agents”) and
[                    ], in its capacity as a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Financial
Institution”) is delivered pursuant to (i) Section 4.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement (First Lien) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien Security Agreement”),
dated as of February 22, 2008 among Aldabra Holding Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Aldabra Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to be merged with and into Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company, the other Grantors party thereto and the First Lien Collateral Agent, and (ii) Section 4.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement (Second Lien) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Second Lien Security Agreement” and, together with the First Lien Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”), dated as of February 22, 2008 among Aldabra Holding Sub LLC, Aldabra Sub LLC,
Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C., the other Grantors party thereto and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the First Lien Security Agreement. All references
herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. 

Section 1. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 

(a) The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT
TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the
First Lien Collateral Agent (or, if the First Lien Collateral Agent has delivered a Notice of Termination (as defined below), the Second Lien Collateral Agent) and, prior to delivery of a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit A hereto, the Debtor; and 
 (b) The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of
Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC and the bank is a “Bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC. 

Section 2. Control of the Deposit Account. If at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any instructions or
directions originated by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent (with, until the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have delivered to the Financial Institution a Notice of Termination, the consent of the First Lien
Collateral Agent) directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions or directions without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. The Financial Institution hereby
acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interests of the Collateral Agents in the Deposit Account and hereby acknowledges and consents to such liens. If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and such instructions
conflict with 

  
 E-10









 
any instructions issued by either Collateral Agent, the Financial Institution shall follow the instructions issued by the applicable Collateral Agent. In the event the Financial Institution
receives conflicting instructions or directions from the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby expressly instructs the Financial Institution to follow the instructions or directions
issued by the First Lien Collateral Agent. 
 Section 3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that

be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agents. Money and other items credited to the Deposit Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the
Collateral Agents (except that the Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the
face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds). 
 Section 4. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Deposit Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes
of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 5. Conflict with Other Agreements. 
 (a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; 

(b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto unless it
is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto; and 
 (c) The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees
that: 
 (i) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Debtor
with respect to the Deposit Account [other than                     ]; and 

(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with
any other person relating the Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section 9-104 of the UCC. 

Section 6. Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agents and the Debtor, the Financial
Institution does not know of any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Collateral Agents and the Debtor thereof.

forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Deposit Account solely from such Collateral Agent until further notice from the Collateral Agent.

 (b) Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations
and other correspondence concerning the Deposit Account simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the Collateral Agents at the address for each set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement; and 

(c) Tax Reporting. All interest, if any, relating to the Deposit Account, shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service

Section 1 and such Deposit Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Agreement; and 
 (b) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution. 
 Section 9. Indemnification of Financial Institution. The Debtor and the Collateral Agents hereby agree that (a) the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the
Debtor and the Collateral Agents arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the Financial Institution’s negligence,
willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of this Agreement and (b) the Debtor, its successors and assigns shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Financial Institution from and against any and all claims, actions and suits of

breach of this Agreement, and from and against any and all liabilities, actual losses, damages, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the
same, until the termination of this Agreement.

shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law. The Collateral Agents may assign their
rights hereunder only (i) with the express written consent of the Financial Institution and (ii) by sending written notice of such assignment to the Debtor.

 EXHIBIT K-1









 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, Collateral Agents as follows: 

1. Landlord hereby (a) waives and releases unto Collateral Agents and their successors and assigns any and all rights granted by or
under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the
Collateral, and (b) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a) of this paragraph 1), shall be second and subordinate to the rights of
Collateral Agents in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises. 

2. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not
been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B annexed hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or
against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in
connection with the Lease, and (e) except as disclosed to Collateral Agents, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease. 

3. Landlord consents to the installation or placement of the Collateral on the Premises, and Landlord grants to First Lien Collateral
Agent or, if First Lien Collateral Agent shall have sent to Landlord the written certification referred to in Section 7 below, Second Lien Collateral Agent, a license to enter upon and into the Premises to do any or all of the following with
respect to the Collateral: assemble, have appraised, display, remove, maintain, prepare for sale or lease, repair, transfer, or sell (at public or private sale). In entering upon or into the Premises, the applicable Collateral Agent hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord caused solely by such Collateral Agent’s entering upon or into the Premises and taking any of the
foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any damage to the Premises made by Collateral Agents in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom. 

4. Landlord agrees that it will not prevent First Lien Collateral Agent or, if First Lien Collateral Agent shall have sent to Landlord
the written certification referred to in Section 7 below, Second Lien Collateral Agent, or their respective designees from entering upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect or remove the Collateral. In the event that Landlord has
the right to, and desires to, obtain possession of the Premises (either through expiration of the Lease or termination thereof due to the default of Tenant thereunder), Landlord will deliver notice (the “Landlord’s Notice”) to
First Lien Collateral Agent or, if First Lien Collateral Agent shall have sent to Landlord the written certification referred to in Section 7 below, Second Lien Collateral Agent, to that effect. Within the 45 day period after the applicable
Collateral Agent receives the Landlord’s Notice, such Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Collateral to be removed from the Premises. During such 45 day period, Landlord will not remove the Collateral
from the Premises nor interfere with the applicable Collateral Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or the applicable Collateral Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, neither Collateral Agent shall at any time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises.

other instrument to which Landlord is a party which may affect Landlord’s rights in, or possession of, the Premises. 
 6.

7. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect (i) with respect to First Lien Collateral Agent until Landlord shall

to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. 

SECTION 2. Lien Priorities. 
 2.1 Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations granted on the
Collateral or of any Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any other applicable law or the Second Lien Loan Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to
perfect, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that: 

(a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral
Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the
Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations; and 

  
 9 








 (b) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by
or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and
subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral
securing any Second Lien Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any First Lien Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person. 

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien
Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders in the First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Second Lien Claimholders
in the Second Lien Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, any First Lien Claimholder, the
Second Lien Collateral Agent, or any Second Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Liens securing the Second Lien
Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1. 
 2.3 No New Liens. Subject to Section 6, so long as the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to: 
 (a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the First
Lien Obligations; or 
 (b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any First Lien Obligations
unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Second Lien Obligations. 
 To the extent that the
foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of Second Lien
Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2. 

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that, subject to Section 6, it is their intention that the
First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien 

  
 10 









 
Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement: 

(a) upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their
counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the
respective parties obligated under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents; and 
 (b) that the
documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(d), shall be in all material respects
the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder. 

SECTION 3. Enforcement. 
 3.1 Exercise of Remedies. 
 (a) Until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders: 

(1) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including the exercise of
any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder is a party)
or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the
passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which the Second Lien Collateral Agent declares the existence of any Event of Default under any Second Lien Loan Documents and demands the repayment of all
the principal amount of any Second Lien Obligations; and (ii) the date on which the First Lien Collateral Agent receives notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such declaration of an Event of Default under the Second Lien Credit
Agreement (the “Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder
exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of
their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent); 

  
 11 









 (2) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or
action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Loan
Documents or otherwise; and 
 (3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above and except as may be
permitted in Section 3.1(c), will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies
relating to the Collateral; 
 provided, that, in the case of (1), (2) and (3) above, the Liens granted
to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second Lien Claimholders shall attach to any Net Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder in accordance with this Agreement after application
of such Net Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of First Lien Obligations. 
 (b) Until the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, subject to Section 3.1(a)(1), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the
First Lien Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral
without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder; provided, that the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall remain on the Net Proceeds of such Collateral released or
disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First
Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell
or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of
any applicable jurisdiction. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any Second Lien
Claimholder may: 
 (1) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations;
provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor; 
 (2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any First Lien


  
 12 









 
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral; 

(3) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other
pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 (4) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to
unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; 

(5) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions
that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral; and 
 (6) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1). 

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any
Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien
Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Net Proceeds thereof, if any, after the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. 
 (d) Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (c) and Section 6.3(b):

 (1) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that
the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange,
transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise; 
 (2) the Second Lien
Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First Lien
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek 

  
 13 









 
to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement,
regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders; and 

(3) the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained
in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to
the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Loan Documents. 
 (e) Except as otherwise specifically set
forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the
Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents and applicable law; provided that in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its
enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other
Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 
 (f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result
of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this
Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral. 

SECTION 4. Payments. 
 4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the
Company or any other Grantor, Collateral or Net Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien
Claimholders, shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall
deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent any Collateral and Net Proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the
Second Lien Collateral Agent to the 

  
 14 









 
Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second Lien Collateral Documents. 
 4.2 Payments Over. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company
or any other Grantor, any Collateral or Net Proceeds thereof (including assets or Net Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the
same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent or
any such Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. 
 SECTION 5. Other Agreements. 
 5.1 Releases.

 (a) If in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral
provided for in Section 3.1, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty
of the First Lien Obligations in connection with the sale of the stock, or substantially all the assets, of such Grantor, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders, on
such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second
Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm
such release. 
 (b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral
(collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of both the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in
respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1), the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Grantor from its
obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations in connection with the sale of the stock, or substantially all the assets, of such Grantor, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of
the Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for
itself 

  
 15 









 
or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents
as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release. 
 (c) Until the Discharge
of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien
Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such holder or in the First Lien Collateral
Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. 
 (d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Grantor
from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens or additional guarantees from any Grantor, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the Second Lien
Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as the case may be. 
 (e) In the event that the principal amount of funded First Lien Obligations plus the aggregate face amount of letters of credit, if any, issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement and not
reimbursed plus the aggregate principal amount of unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement (collectively, the “First Lien Obligations Amount”), at any date of determination no longer constitute at least 15%
of the sum of (i) the First Lien Obligations Amount and (ii) the principal amount of funded Second Lien Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of unfunded commitments under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (collectively,
the “Second Lien Obligations Amount”), then any agreement provided for in Section 5.1(a) and (b) above (except for releases given in connection with a Disposition permitted under the First Lien Loan Documents and
the Second Lien Loan Documents) shall require the consent of First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the sum of (i) the First Lien Obligations Amount and (ii) the Second Lien
Obligations Amount. 
 5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the First Lien Loan Documents, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy
covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, subject 

  
 16 









 
to the terms of, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under, the First Lien Loan Documents, all Net Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in
lieu of condemnation) if in respect of the Collateral and to the extent required by the First Lien Loan Documents shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made
at such time), and subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the Second Lien Loan Documents, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Loan
Documents and then, to the extent no Second Lien Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made at such time), to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any Net Proceeds of any such
insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Net Proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

 5.3 Amendments to First Lien Loan Documents and Second Lien Loan Documents. (a) The First Lien Loan
Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the
Second Lien Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and
the Second Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement and any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent: 

(1) increase the sum of (without duplication) (A) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the loans under
the First Lien Credit Agreement, (B) the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement and (C) the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement and not
reimbursed in excess of the Cap Amount; 
 (2) increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of
the interest rate applicable to the Obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement by more than 3% per annum on a weighted average basis over the weighted average “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate (which
shall include, for this purpose, (x) the closing fees set forth in Section 2.11(d) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, with such closing fees being equated to interest rates based on an assumed four-year average life and without any
present value discount and (y) any increase in interest rate as a result of any LIBOR “floor” under the First Lien Credit Agreement) applicable to the Obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement on


  
 17 









 
the date hereof (excluding increases (A) resulting from application of the pricing grid set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, (B) resulting from
the accrual of interest at the default rate or (C) resulting from the exercise of rights by the Arrangers under the Fee Letter after the date hereof), it being agreed and understood that in connection with any Refinancing of the First Lien
Credit Agreement, any such increase may take the form of original issue discount or upfront fees (with original issue discount or such upfront fees being equated to such interest rates based on an assumed four-year average life and without any
present value discount), on a weighted average basis; 
 (3) extend the scheduled maturity of the First Lien
Credit Agreement or any Refinancing thereof beyond the scheduled maturity of the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any Refinancing thereof; or 
 (4) contravene the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Until the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations has occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Second Lien Loan Document may be Refinanced, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such
Refinancing, amendment, restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Lien Loan Document, would: 
 (1) increase the principal amount of the Second Lien Credit Agreement in excess of the amount permitted under the First Lien Credit Agreement; 

(2) increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate provisions applicable to the
Second Lien Obligations by more than 3% per annum over the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate (which shall include, for this purpose, (x) the closing fees set forth in Section 2.11(a) of the Second
Lien Credit Agreement, with such closing fees being equated to interest rates based on an assumed four-year average life and without any present value discount and (y) any increase in interest rate as a result of any LIBOR “floor”
under the Second Lien Credit Agreement) applicable to the Obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement on the date hereof (excluding (A) increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate or (B) resulting from the
exercise of rights by the Arrangers under the Fee Letter after the date hereof), it being agreed and understood that in connection with any Refinancing of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, any such increase may take the form of original issue
discount or upfront fees (with original issue discount or such upfront fees being equated to such interest rates based on an assumed four-year average life and without any present value discount), on a weighted average basis; 

(3) change any Event of Default thereunder in a manner adverse to the loan parties thereunder unless a corresponding
change is made to the First Lien Loan Documents (other than to eliminate any such Event of Default or 

  
 18 









 
increase any grace period related thereto or otherwise make such Event of Default or condition less restrictive or burdensome on the Company); 

(4) change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal or interest are due thereon; 

(5) change the prepayment provisions thereof in a manner adverse to the First Lien Lenders (other than any such change
that defers, reduces or eliminates any such prepayment); 
 (6) except as set forth in clauses (2) and
(3) of this Section 5.3(b), increase materially the obligations of the obligors thereunder or confer any additional material rights on the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (or a representative on their behalf) which would be
adverse to any Grantor or First Lien Lenders unless a corresponding change is made to the First Lien Loan Documents; or 
 (7) contravene the provisions of this Agreement. 
 The Second Lien Credit
Agreement may be Refinanced to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing debt meet the requirements of this Section 5.3(b), the average life to maturity thereof is greater than or equal to that of the Second Lien Credit Agreement
and the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) The Company agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect
approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security
interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of
February 22, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Aldabra Sub LLC, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as First Lien Collateral Agent and
Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as Second Lien Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, such
conflict shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement.” 

  
 19 









 In addition, the Company agrees that each Second Lien Mortgage entered into on or after the date hereof
covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral so long as
such language is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the
First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any
provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply
automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the
Company or any other Grantor, provided, that: 
 (1) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have the effect of: 
 (A) removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral
Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 of this Agreement and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations; 

(B) imposing duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent; 

(C) permitting other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents or
Section 6; or 
 (D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders to a greater extent
than the First Lien Claimholders; and 
 (2) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to
the Second Lien Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent. 
 5.4 Bailee for Perfection. (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its
agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as
gratuitous bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting
the security interest granted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the 

  
 20 









 
terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts or commodities contracts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106, as
applicable, of the UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts and/or commodity contracts as gratuitous agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. 
 (b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the
First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth
in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the
Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below. 
 (c) The First Lien
Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First
Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder. 
 (d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations under the First Lien Loan Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver (except as otherwise required by applicable law or court order) the remaining Pledged Collateral (if
any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made at such time) remain outstanding, and
second, to the Company to the extent no First Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made at such time) or Second Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made at
such time) remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The First Lien Collateral Agent also agrees to deliver notices to the banks, securities intermediaries, other
Persons party to control agreements, landlords, bailees and warehousemen that the First Lien Collateral Agent is no longer the “Controlling Party” (or comparable concept) under the applicable control agreement or subordination agreement or
waiver. The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Company in connection with the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the
Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 (e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long
as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other
First Lien Loan Documents as if the Liens of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Claimholders did not exist. 

  
 21 









 5.5 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If
concurrently with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Company thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of First Lien
Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the
date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice is delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the First Lien Loan Documents shall automatically be treated as First Lien
Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the New Agent (as defined below) under such First Lien Loan Documents shall be the First Lien
Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into new First Lien Loan Documents (which notice shall include the identity
of the new first lien collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement)
as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, (b) deliver to the New Agent any
Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) and (c) notify any depositary bank, securities intermediary or other Person party to a
control agreement or any landlord, bailee or warehouseman which has executed a subordination agreement or waiver that such New Agent is the “Controlling Party” (or comparable concept) thereunder. The New Agent shall agree in a writing
addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting
Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this
Agreement. 
 5.6 Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the First Lien Claimholders’
remedies, the First Lien Claimholders agree at any time following an acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Claimholders will have the right to purchase the entire
aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement) at par plus accrued interest (without regard to any prepayment penalty or premium), without warranty or representation or
recourse, on a pro rata basis across First Lien Claimholders. If the Second Lien Claimholders choose to exercise such right, they must irrevocably notify the First Lien Claimholders thereof within ten (10) Business Days following acceleration
of the First Lien Obligations, and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter. If the Second Lien Claimholders choose to exercise their purchase right, such purchase shall be effected pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to
each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. If the Second Lien Claimholders elect not to exercise their purchase right 

  
 22 









 
under this Section 5.6 (or do not irrevocably provide notice of such exercise within the required timeframe), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this
Section 5.6 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents and this Agreement. 
 SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. 
 6.1
Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit
the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain
financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as (i) such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing is on commercially reasonable terms and (ii) the DIP Financing
(a) does not compel the Company to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document or (b) the DIP
Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order; provided, however, that the Second Lien
Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders shall retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements entered into in connection with the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their
interests and would cause the terms of the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing, when taken together with such ancillary agreements or arrangements, to contravene the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent the Liens securing the First Lien
Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP
Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).

 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect
of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court. 

6.3 Adequate Protection. 

  
 23 









 (a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders,
agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting): 
 (1) any request by the First
Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection; or 
 (2) any objection by the
First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: 

(1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional
collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such
additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second
Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement (provided that any failure of the Second Lien Lenders to obtain such adequate protection shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings
and consents of the Second Lien Lenders pursuant to this Section 6.3(b)); and 
 (2) in the event the
Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral,
then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien
Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such collateral securing
the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other
Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the
Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the 

  
 24 









 
Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise). 

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First
Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the
Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of their rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or
otherwise. 
 6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled
to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 
 6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are
distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the
First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like
effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 
 6.7 Post-Petition Interest. (a) Neither the Second
Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on
the Collateral. (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after
taking into account the First Lien Collateral). 

  
 25 









 6.8 Waiver. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any
cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 
 6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral
Agent for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that: 
 (a) the grants of Liens pursuant
to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations
are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 
 To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect
of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be
made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose
ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts
owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and
agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to
the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders). 
 SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc. 
 7.1 Reliance.
Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents, acknowledges that it and such First Lien Claimholders have,
independently and without reliance on the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any 

  
 26 









 
Second Lien Claimholders, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First Lien Loan Documents and be bound
by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Credit Agreement or this Agreement. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second
Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate,
made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second Lien Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second
Lien Loan Documents or this Agreement. 
 7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The First Lien Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty,
including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second Lien Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Second Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Second Lien Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole
discretion, deem appropriate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders
have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First Lien Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the
perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the First Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Lien Loan Documents in accordance
with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, and the
First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or
continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any other Grantor (including the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be
charged with. 
 7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities. 

(a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or
any First Lien Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any


  
 27 









 
First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Loan Documents
or any of the Second Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with. 

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Company and the other
Grantors under the First Lien Loan Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First Lien
Loan Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, without incurring any liabilities to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders and
without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or
extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following: 
 (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or
change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Company or any other Grantor,
or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew,
exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Obligations or any of the First Lien Loan Documents; provided that any such increase
in the First Lien Obligations shall not increase the sum of the Indebtedness constituting principal under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the face amount of any letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement and not reimbursed to
an amount in excess of the Cap Amount; 
 (2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First Lien Collateral or any liability of the Company or any other Grantor to the First Lien Claimholders or the First Lien Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof; 
 (3) settle or compromise any First Lien Obligation or any other liability of
the Company or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First Lien Obligations) in any
manner or order; and 
 (4) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the
Company or any security or any other Grantor or any other 

  
 28 









 
Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Company, any other Grantor or any First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Company or any other
Grantor to the First Lien Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof. 
 (c) Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, also agrees that the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the Second Lien Collateral
Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent, arising out of any and
all actions which the First Lien Claimholders or the First Lien Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: 
 (1) the First Lien Loan Documents (other than this Agreement); 

(2) the collection of the First Lien Obligations; or 

(3) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any First Lien Collateral. The Second Lien
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Collateral Agent have no duty to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the First Lien Collateral, the
First Lien Obligations or otherwise. 
 (d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal,
valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law. 

7.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the
First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Lien Loan Documents or any Second Lien Loan Documents; 
 (b) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien
Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First Lien Loan Document or any Second Lien Loan Document; 

  
 29 









 (c) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange of any security
interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations or any guaranty
thereof; 
 (d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or

 (e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any
other Grantor in respect of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Obligations, any First Lien Claimholder, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Obligations or any Second Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.

 SECTION 8. Miscellaneous. 
 8.1 Conflicts. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents or the Second Lien Loan Documents, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that the provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved
as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. 
 8.2 Effectiveness; Continuing
Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and
without notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Loan Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Grantor
constituting First Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to the Company
or any other Grantor shall include the Company or such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Company or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect: 
 (a) with respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien
Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, on the date of Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.5; and 

  
 30 









 (b) with respect to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders and the
Second Lien Obligations, on the date upon which the Second Lien Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made at such time) have been paid in full. 

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the
Second Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect
to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights or obligations are directly affected (which includes, but is not limited to any amendment to
the Grantors’ ability to cause additional obligations to constitute First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations as the Company may designate). 
 (b) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.3, the Company, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) amend or
supplement this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Documents or the Second Lien Collateral Documents without the consent of any other Secured Party: (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to make any change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Secured Parties; or (iii) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the First Lien Collateral Documents or the Second Lien Collateral
Documents or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents. 
 8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien
Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (x) the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First
Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations and (y) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders
shall have no duty to advise the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of
the First Lien Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

 (a) to make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall not make, any express or implied
representation or warranty, including 

  
 31 









 
with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided; 
 (b) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion; 
 (c) to undertake any investigation; or 
 (d) to disclose any information, which
pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. 
 8.5 Subrogation. With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Second Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent
pays over to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent and
the First Lien Claimholders; provided that, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment
hereunder until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second
Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Second Lien Obligations. 

8.6 Application of Payments. All payments received by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may be
applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations provided for in the First Lien Loan Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, assents to any
extension or postponement of the time of payment, subject to Section 5.3(a)(3), of the First Lien Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security which
may at any time secure any part of the First Lien Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor. 
 8.7 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.  
 (a) ALL
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS
