Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement


 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 AMENDMENT NO. 2, dated as of October 13, 2011
(this “Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2010 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among MICROSEMI CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), the LENDERS party thereto (the “Existing Lenders”), MORGAN STANLEY SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) and MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC, as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Existing Lenders. 
 A. Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Lenders have extended credit to the Borrower. 
 B. The Borrower has requested that the Term Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning given it in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restated Credit Agreement”)) make new Term Loans to the Borrower on the Restatement Closing Date (as defined below), in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000,000, the proceeds of which
will be used by the Borrower , together with the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans, for the purposes set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, including (a) to voluntarily prepay the Term Loans outstanding under, and as defined in, the
Existing Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest thereon, (b) to finance the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the capital stock (on a fully diluted basis) of Zarlink Semiconductor Inc., a corporation
incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Zarlink”), (c) to repay certain existing indebtedness of Zarlink, including the repayment, redemption or retirement (by conversion or otherwise) of the unsecured,
subordinated convertible debentures issued by Zarlink in 2007 (the “Debentures”), and the Borrower (the “Refinancing”) and (d) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.

 C. The new Term Loans will replace the Term Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Amendment (the “Existing Term Loans”). Each Lender holding Existing Term Loans (collectively, the “Existing Term Lenders”) that executes and delivers a consent to this Amendment
in the form of the “Lender Consent” attached hereto (a “Lender Consent”) (collectively, the “Converting Term Lenders”) will be deemed (i) to have agreed to the terms of this Amendment,
(ii) to have agreed to convert (via conversion or repayment and a subsequent purchase, as further described in the Lender Consent) an aggregate principal amount of its Existing Term Loans (the “Converted Term Loans”)
into new Term Loans in a principal amount equal to the amount notified to such Converting Term Lender by the Administrative Agent, (iii) upon the Restatement Closing Date to have converted (via conversion or repayment and a subsequent purchase,
as further described in the Lender Consent) such amount of its Existing Term Loans into new Terms Loans in an equal principal amount and (iv), if applicable, upon the Restatement Closing Date, to have agreed to purchase additional new Term Loans.

 D. Each Person that executes a Joinder to this Amendment as an “Additional Term Lender” will be deemed (i) to
have agreed to the terms of this Amendment and (ii) to have 






 
committed to make new Term Loans to the Borrower on the Restatement Closing Date, in the amount notified to such Additional Term Lender by the Administrative Agent (but in no event greater than
the amount such Person committed to make as new Term Loans). 
 E. The Additional Term Lenders and the Converting Term Lenders
are willing to make such Term Loans (or convert Existing Term Loans) to the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions and for the purposes set forth herein and in the Restated Credit Agreement. 

F. Each Revolving Lender that executes and delivers a Lender Consent solely in the capacity of a Revolving Lender will be deemed to have
agreed to the terms of this Amendment but will not be deemed thereby to have agreed to have made any commitment to make additional Loans. 
 G. The Borrower and the Requisite Lenders (as defined below) desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to effectiveness referred to in Section 4 hereof. 
 H. Capitalized terms used herein but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 Accordingly, in consideration of
the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Commitments. On and as of the Restatement Closing Date, the Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender and
the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.1 to the Restated Credit Agreement. Upon the Amendment Effective Date, each Lender will be deemed to have waived any prior notice of prepayment (if any) otherwise
required pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit
Agreement. The Borrower and the Requisite Lenders agree that the Existing Credit Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) shall be amended and restated on the Restatement Closing Date, such that on the Restatement
Closing Date the Restated Credit Agreement shall replace the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement. As used in the Restated Credit Agreement, the terms “Agreement”, “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”,
“hereto”, “hereof”, and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean, from and after the replacement of the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement by the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement, the
Restated Credit Agreement. 






 SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties
hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Collateral Agent that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Restated Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which
case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

SECTION 4. Amendment Agreement Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date set forth above
on the date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment (including counterparts received pursuant to the Lender Consent or any Joinder) executed and
delivered by the Borrower, each Term Lender and the Required Lenders (each Term Lender and the Required Lenders referred to collectively as, the “Requisite Lenders”). 

SECTION 5. Effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement shall become
effective on the date on or after the Amendment Effective Date on which each of the conditions in Section 6.1 of the Restated Credit Agreement is satisfied (the “Restatement Closing Date”). 

SECTION 6. Amendment Fee. On the Restatement Closing Date, the Borrower shall have paid to the Lead Arranger for the
benefit of each Revolving Lender that consents to this Amendment an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment as of the Restatement Closing Date. 

SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment; No Novation. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by
implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Documents, and, except as set forth in
the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed
in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to any Revolving Loans currently outstanding, all interest and fees accruing under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of periods
prior to the Restatement Closing Date will accrue at the rates specified in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Closing Date and shall be payable at the times provided in the Restated Credit Agreement). Nothing herein shall be
deemed to entitle any Loan Party to consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Restated Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 






 SECTION 8. Schedules to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
Exhibit B attached hereto sets forth all changes to the Schedules to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement since the Original Closing Date and each Loan Party has taken (or will take within the applicable period required in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) all actions required to be taken by it pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in connection with such changes. 
 SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of 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 contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 SECTION 10. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 11. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Amendment, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern
District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof. 
 SECTION 12. Headings. The headings of this
Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to (a) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2010 (as amended by the
Amendment and as the same may be further amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Microsemi Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as the Borrower, the
Lenders, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as Collateral Agent and (b) that certain Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the
“Amendment”). Capitalized terms used by not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement or the Amendment, as applicable; 
 Each Additional Term Lender hereby agrees to make Term Loans in the amount notified to such Additional Term Lender by the Administrative Agent but not to exceed the amount set forth on its signature page
hereto pursuant to and in accordance with the Restated Credit Agreement. The Term Loans of such Additional Term Lender shall be subject to all of the terms in the Restated Credit Agreement and to the conditions set forth in the Restated Credit
Agreement, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by
the Security Documents. Each Additional Term Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Term Loans provided by the Additional Term Lender shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes of the Restated Credit
Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents. 
 Each Additional Term Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy
of the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to
enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any other Additional Term Lender or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Restated Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 






 Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Joinder by each Additional Term
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, each of the undersigned Additional Term
Lenders shall become Lenders under the Restated Credit Agreement, effective as of the Restatement Closing Date. 
 For each
Additional Term Lender, delivered herewith to the Administrative Agent are such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Additional Term Lender may be required to deliver to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Restated Credit Agreement. 
 This Joinder may not be amended, modified or waived
except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 
 This Joinder
is a “Loan Document.” 
 This Joinder, the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 THIS JOINDER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Any term or provision of this Joinder which is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Joinder or affecting the
validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Joinder is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be
enforceable. 
 This Joinder may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement. 






 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused its duly authorized officer to
execute and deliver this Joinder as of             .

Term Loans) for the Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the highest applicable yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term Loans plus 50 basis points, except to the extent that the applicable yield

Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the
proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and 

  
 43 








 
(ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the
Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing
Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf),
on one (1) Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, irrespective of the satisfaction of
conditions to such Loan specified in Section 6.2, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than
10:00 A.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline
Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. 
 (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been
made pursuant to Section 3.4(b), one of the events described in Section 9.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion,
Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 3.4(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 3.4(b) (the “Refunding
Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation
Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to
the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. 

  
 44 








 (e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in
Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy
any of the other conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 3.5 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Original Closing Date to the
last day of the Revolving Availability Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 
 (b) On the Original Closing Date, the Borrower paid closing fees to each Revolving Lender on the date thereof as fee compensation for such Lender’s Revolving Commitment in an amount equal to 1.0% of
such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the
amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 3.6 Termination or
Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount
of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective
date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, further that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease
or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a multiple
of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 
 3.7 L/C
Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 

  
 45 








 
3.10(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period
substantially in the form of Exhibit L or in such other form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a
face amount of at least $100,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days
prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (or a longer period if agreed to by the Issuing Lender but in no event shall
any renewal period extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Each Letter of Credit issued on a sight basis only and governed by laws of the State of New York (unless the laws of another jurisdiction is agreed to by the respective
Issuing Lender) and governed under The International Standby Practices (ISP98). 
 (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time
be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 

3.8 Procedure for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension of Letters of Credit; Certain Conditions. The Borrower may from time to
time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender an Application requesting the issuance of the Letter of Credit and specifying the requested date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and, as applicable, specifying the date of amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
Section 3.7(a)(iii)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Such Application shall be
accompanied by documentary and other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by the Issuing Lender to enable the Issuing Lender to verify the beneficiary’s identity or to comply with any applicable
laws or regulations, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318. Provided the Issuing Lender has determined that the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of the requested Letter
of Credit in favor of the identified beneficiary is in compliance with U.S. Treasury and U.S. Department of Commerce regulations and other applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign
Asset Control regulations), upon receipt of all required approvals, the Issuing Lender will issue, amend, renew or extend the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in the Issuing Lender’s then current standard form with
such revisions as shall be requested by the Borrower and approved by the Issuing Lender, which shall have been approved by the Borrower, within (x) in the case of an issuance, five (5) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the
Application and all related information and (y) in the case of an amendment, renewal or extension, three (3) Business Days of the date of the receipt of the Application and all related information. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy
of such Letter 

  
 46 








 
of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in
turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance (or, amendment, extension or renewal, as applicable) of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 
 3.9 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar
Loans under the Revolving Facility on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition,
the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date
of such Letter of Credit. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for
such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

3.10 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and,
to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount
of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by
the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the Issuing Lender. 
 (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of
any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three (3) Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Issuing Lender 

  
 47 








 
shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant
its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro
rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it. 

3.11 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft
presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses (other than taxes or
similar amounts) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment on (x) the same Business Day on which the Borrower receives such notice if the Borrower receives such notice by 12:00 Noon New York City time on such day or
(y) the next Business Day if the Borrower receives such notice after 12:00 Noon New York City time on such day. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice,
Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.10 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of Base
Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.4 of Swingline Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such
borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans (or, if applicable, Swingline Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 3.2 (or, if applicable, Section 3.4), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of
such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. 
 3.12 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim
or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the 

  
 48 








 
Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the
Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of
such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of
Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and
shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 
 3.13 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft
shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date of payment and amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the
Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft)
delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
 3.14 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this
Section 3 shall apply. 
 3.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender will not be required to issue any Letter of Credit or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the face amount thereof,
alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, and the Swingline Lender will not be required to make any Swingline Loan, unless any exposure that would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders, replacement Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender. 
 (b) If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan is at the time outstanding, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to clause(c) below), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, request that
the Borrower Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan in amount at least 

  
 49 








 
equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, including, without limitation, replacing such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 4.13. 
 (c) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions
shall apply with respect to any outstanding L/C Exposure, any outstanding Swingline Exposure and any outstanding Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) the L/C Exposure, the Swingline Exposure and the Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day
such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (x) such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the
applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (y) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total Revolving Extensions of Credit, total Swingline Exposure and total L/C Exposure may not in any event
exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (z) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided further that, for purposes of
clause (x) in the first proviso above, such reallocation shall be given effect immediately upon the cure or waiver of such Default or Event of Default and subject to clauses (y) and (z) above; 

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s L/C
Exposure and Swingline Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of subsection (y) of the proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the
Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be), (x) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in respect of such L/C Exposure
or Swingline Exposure, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure, or (y) in the case of such Swingline Exposure, prepay (subject to clause
(iii) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (z) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to protect
them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, including, without limitation, replacing such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13; and 

  
 50 








 (iii) any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender
under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
non-interest bearing account until (subject to clause (g) below) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default
interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due
and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed L/C Obligations then due and payable to the
Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the
termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower fails
to take the actions specified under subsection (b) or (c) above, each of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its
discretion, through the Administrative Agent, notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse any outstanding L/C Obligations, (ii) repay any outstanding Swingline
Loan, and/or (iii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such
Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan. 
 (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Sections 3.5(a) and 3.9 (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that (i) to the extent that a portion of the L/C Exposure or the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (c) above, such
fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any
portion of such L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure 

  
 51 








 
cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender as their interests appear (and the pro rata
payment provisions of Section 4.8 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section). 
 (f)
The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event
the provisions of (c)(iii) above will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided
that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(g) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in clause (c)(iii) above), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Extensions, L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance
with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing);
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 3.16 Incremental Revolving Commitments. 
 (a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Restatement Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more
new revolving credit facilities (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”) with new revolving commitments (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) in an amount not in excess of $200,000,000 in the aggregate,
when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments under Section 2.4(a), and in minimum increments of $10,000,000. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase
Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Person (which, if not a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender) to whom the Borrower proposes
any portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations. 

  
 52 








 (b) Conditions. The Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective as of
such Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided that: 
 (i) each of the conditions set forth
in Section 6.2 shall be satisfied (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder); 
 (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the extensions of commitments and the borrowings to be made on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective
Date (except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Revolving Joinder); 
 (iii) after giving pro
forma effect to the extensions of commitments and the borrowings to be made on the Revolving Commitment Increase Effective Date as of the date of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or (b), the
Borrower shall be in compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 8.1; and 
 (iv) the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 

(c) Terms of Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Incremental
Revolving Commitments and the Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) shall be as those set forth in this Agreement for the then-existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving
Loans; provided that: 
 (i) the maturity date of Incremental Revolving Loans shall not be earlier than
the Revolver Termination Date; 
 (ii) any Incremental Revolving Loan shall have no scheduled amortization or
mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Termination Date; 
 (iii) the applicable yield for the
Incremental Revolving Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders; provided, however, that the applicable yield (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or
original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loans but shall exclude customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to any arranger, bookrunner or its affiliates in connection with the Incremental Revolving
Loans) for the Incremental Revolving Loans shall not be greater than the highest applicable yield that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Term Loans plus 50 basis points, except to the extent that the applicable yield
applicable to the Term Loans is increased to the extent necessary to achieve the foregoing; and 

  
 53 








 (iv) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate “floor” or Base Rate
“floor” is imposed on the Incremental Revolving Loans, such Eurodollar Rate “floor” or the highest of such Base Rate “floor”, as the case may be, shall be applied to the Revolving Loans. 

The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Revolving Joinder”)
executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Revolving Joinder may, without the consent of any other
Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.16. In addition, unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental
Revolving Loans that are made pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (d) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Revolving
Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall,
without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative
Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such class of
Incremental Revolving Loans or any such Incremental Revolving Commitments. 
 SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE

 TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 4.1 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior thereto, in the case of
Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans and if such payment is to be applied to prepay the Term Loans, the manner in which such prepayment is
to be applied thereto; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11; provided,
further that such notice may be contingent on the occurrence of a refinancing or the consummation of a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets and may be revoked or the termination date deferred if the refinancing or sale,
transfer, lease or other disposition of assets does not occur. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice


  
 54 








 
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the
amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof;
provided further, that any optional prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.1 on or prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Date with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower from a
substantially concurrent borrowing of loans provided by one or more banks, funds or other financial institutions (other than any such borrowing pursuant to a refinancing of all the facilities or the Term Loans under this Agreement in connection with
a Permitted Acquisition, Change of Control or other transaction not permitted by this Agreement (prior to giving effect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that is effected in connection with such transaction)) for which
the interest rate payable thereon is, or upon satisfaction of specified conditions could reasonably be expected to be, less than the interest rate applicable to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans at the time of such prepayment shall be subject to
the payment of a premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment or repayment of Term Loans funded directly or indirectly with the proceeds of Capital Stock issued by the Borrower or
equity contributed to the Borrower and received after the Restatement Date shall not require the payment of any premium contemplated by the preceding proviso. 
 4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock shall be incurred or issued by any Group Member after the Restatement Date (other than Excluded Indebtedness),
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence or issuance toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f). 

(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment
Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment
Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f). 

(c) The Borrower shall, on each Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of the excess, if any, of (i) Excess
Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (ii) Voluntary Prepayments made during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(f). Except as provided below, each
such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten (10) days after the date on which the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1(a) for the
fiscal year of the Borrower with respect to which such prepayment is made are required to be delivered to the Lenders (commencing with the fiscal year of the Borrower ending October 2, 2011). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not
be required to prepay the Loans pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any 

  
 55 








 
Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary if the repatriation of such Excess Cash Flow from such Foreign Subsidiary at any time during
the fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Application Date occurs would cause adverse consequences from fees, taxes or similar impositions of Governmental Authorities to the Borrower or would otherwise be payable as a result of the occurrence
of any one-time repatriation holidays; provided that in the event the Borrower is required to make a payment of Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary, such payment shall be made no later than ten (10) days after the
Borrower becomes aware that such repatriation would not cause adverse consequences from fees, taxes or similar impositions of Governmental Authorities to the Borrower; provided further that in the event that the Borrower is not
required to make a payment of Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary during the fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Application Date occurs, no payment shall be due in any succeeding fiscal year. 

(d) In the event that either a Zarlink Compulsory Acquisition or a Zarlink Subsequent Acquisition Transaction, as the case may be, is
required to complete the Zarlink Acquisition, and the Borrower fails to consummate such Zarlink Compulsory Acquisition or Zarlink Subsequent Acquisition Transaction, as the case may be, on or prior to the date that is one hundred and twenty
(120) days after the Restatement Date, within one (1) Business Day of such date, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Term Loans borrowed on the Zarlink Offer Closing Date in an amount equal to the Zarlink Acquisition Consideration
Blocked Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, less any amounts paid on any Zarlink Offer Extension Closing Date) that has not been used for a purpose permitted by Section 8.17. 

(e) [RESERVED]. 

(f) Except for prepayments required pursuant to Section 4.2(d) (such prepayment solely to be applied to repay the Term Loans),
amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 4.8 and, second, to prepay the Revolving Loans
without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess
(because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and,
second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 

(g) [RESERVED]. 

(h) Any prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 4.2(a) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Date
with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower from a substantially concurrent borrowing of loans provided by one or more banks, funds or other financial institutions (other than any such borrowing pursuant to a


  
 56 








 
refinancing of all the facilities or the Term Loans under this Agreement in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, Change of Control or other transaction not permitted by this Agreement (prior
to giving effect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that is effected in connection with such transaction)) for which the interest rate payable thereon is, or upon satisfaction of specified conditions could reasonably be
expected to be, less than the interest rate applicable to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans at the time of such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of a premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. For the
avoidance of doubt, any prepayment or repayment of Term Loans funded directly or indirectly with the proceeds of Capital Stock issued by the Borrower or equity contributed to the Borrower and received after the Restatement Date shall not require the
payment of any premium contemplated by the preceding proviso. 
 4.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed
conversion date; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest
Period therefor); provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders
in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to
such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such
Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation
is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof. 
 4.4 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen (15) Eurodollar Tranches shall be
outstanding at any one time. 

  
 57 








 4.5 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the election of the Required Lenders, all outstanding Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, commitment fees and other amounts payable
hereunder (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2%,
(ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the non-default rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% and (iii) in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the
non-default rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, in each case from the date of such election until such Event of Default is no longer continuing; provided that the foregoing interest rate shall
apply automatically, without any election of the Required Lenders, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (f). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate,
such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to
Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the
actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or
the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

  
 58 








 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the
quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.6(a). 
 4.7
Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent
shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period, or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as reasonably determined and conclusively certified by such Lenders)
of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 
 the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans
shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the
Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw promptly upon a determination that the condition or situation which gave rise to such notice no longer exists), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility
shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. 
 4.8 Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any
reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. 

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro
rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. Except as expressly set forth in Section 4.1, the amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to
reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount thereof. Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 

  
 59 








 (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the
Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders. 
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made
prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to
extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon
shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making
such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and
(ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility,
on demand, from the Borrower. 
 (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 

  
 60 








 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this
Section 4.8 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. 

4.9 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of, taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
administration, interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted
subsequent to the date hereof): 
 (i) shall subject any Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever (other than Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes which shall be governed by Section 4.10, Taxes arising under FATCA (as defined in Section 4.10(a)(iii)), Taxes imposed as a result of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s
failure to provide the forms described in Section 4.10(d) or (e), as applicable, and Taxes relating to a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuing Lender) solely with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in respect thereof; 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender (without regard to Taxes) of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing
or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon
its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 

  
 61 








 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of, taking
effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or
such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation for such
reduction. 
 (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or Issuing
Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than
one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such one hundred and eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Borrower shall pay the Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any certificate referred to above within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof. 
 4.10 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under
this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other Taxes, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income Taxes and franchise Taxes (imposed in lieu of net income Taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender
and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other 

  
 62 








 
Loan Document), (ii) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, (iii) any Tax imposed
as a result of such Lender’s failure or inability to comply with the requirements of Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder (“FATCA”) to establish an exemption from withholding
thereunder, (iv) any Tax attributable to such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 4.10 and (v) Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from
amounts payable to such Lender (or Transferee) on the basis of the law in effect at the time such Lender (or Transferee) becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee, on the date such Transferee becomes a Transferee hereunder),
except, with respect to any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to a Transferee under this Agreement, to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (or Transferee’s transferor), if any, was entitled, at the time of assignment to
receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such amounts pursuant to this paragraph (such excluded items, “Excluded Taxes”). If, under applicable law, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from
any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes,
including in respect of any payments under this Section 4.10) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by a Loan Party in respect of a payment under this Agreement, as
promptly as practicable thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such
Loan Party or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing payment thereof. If the relevant Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest and penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any
Lender as a result of any such failure. 
 (d) Each Lender (or each Transferee) that is a “United States person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, (x) in the case of a Participant, solely to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased and
(y) in the case of an Assignee under an assignment to an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender that is made pursuant to Section 11.6(c), the assigning Lender) two originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. Each Lender (or each Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a
“Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, (x) in the case of a Participant, solely to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased and (y) in the case
of an Assignee under an assignment to an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender that is made pursuant to Section 11.6(c), the assigning Lender) two originals of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service


  
 63 








 
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal income and withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming
complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal income and withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by such Lender on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement (or, (x) in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation and (y) in the case of an Assignee, on or before the date such Assignee becomes a party to this
Agreement). In addition, each Lender (or Participant or Assignee, as applicable) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, or upon written request of the Borrower or any
Agent. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer legally able to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing
authorities for such purpose). 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 able to deliver. 

(e) A Lender (or a Transferee) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate;
provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

 (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of or credit
against any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.10 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such
Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Agent or any
Lender is a conduit entity 

  
 64 








 
participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Section 7701(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder and the Borrower was not a participant to such arrangement (other
than as a Borrower under this Agreement) (a “Conduit Financing Arrangement”), then (i) the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnify the Agent or Lender for any Taxes with respect to any payments
hereunder to the extent that the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been withheld or deducted had the Internal Revenue Service not made such a determination and (ii) such Agent or Lender shall indemnify the
Borrowers in full for any and all taxes for which the Borrower is held directly liable under Section 1461 of the Code by virtue of such Conduit Financing Arrangement; provided that such Borrower (A) promptly forward to the indemnitor an
official receipt of such documentation satisfactorily evidencing such payment, (B) contest such tax upon the reasonable request of the indemnitor and at such indemnitor’s cost and (C) pay such indemnitor within thirty (30) days
any refund of such taxes (including interest thereon). Each Agent or Lender represents that it is not participating in a Conduit Financing Arrangement. 
 (h) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document. 

4.11 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense that
such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of
a prepayment of, or a conversion from, Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any other default by the Borrower in the repayment of such Eurodollar Loans when and as required
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Such indemnification may include an amount (other than with respect to clause (d)) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so
borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts
payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 4.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office
for any Loans affected by 

  
 65 








 
such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its
lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage or any unreimbursed costs or expenses; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the
rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (b) or (c). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. 

4.13 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), (b) is a Non-Consenting Lender or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution or other entity;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) in the case of an Affected Lender, prior to
any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution or
entity shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to
such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution or entity shall be an Eligible Assignee, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to
make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided that, except in the case of clause (c) hereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein),
(viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), as the case may be, (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (x) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, the replacement financial institution or entity shall consent at
the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which the replaced Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. 
 4.14
Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (b) The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower), shall maintain the Register (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), a Related Party Register), in each case
pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative


  
 66 








 
Agent (or, in the case of an assignment not required to be recorded in the Register in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(d), the assigning Lender) hereunder from the Borrower
and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in the Register (or where applicable, the Related Party Register)
and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register (or where applicable, the Related Party Register) or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans,
Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit E-1, E-2 or E-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount. 

4.15 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans
as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days
of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11.

 (d) The most recent financial statements referred to in clause (b)(i) disclose in
accordance with GAAP or other applicable accounting standards all material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or

 5.2 No Change. Since
October 3, 2010, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Except as permitted under Section 8.4, each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged,

the terms of its Organizational Documents and (e) is in compliance with the terms of all Requirements of Law and all Governmental Authorizations, except to the extent that any failure under clause (a) (with respect to any Group Member that
is not a Loan Party) or clauses (b) through (e) to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is required in connection with the Transactions or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (a) consents, authorizations, filings and notices
described in Schedule 5.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been, or will be, obtained or made and are in full force and effect on or before the Restatement Date, and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired, in each
case without any action being taken by any Governmental Authority that would restrain, prevent or otherwise impose adverse conditions on the Transactions, other than any such consent, authorizations, filings and notices the absence of which could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) the filings referred to in Section 5.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes,
and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).


  
 69 








 5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate (a) its Organizational Document, (b) any Requirement of Law, Governmental Authorization or any
Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and (c) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to its Organizational Documents, any Requirement of Law or any
such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Permitted Liens), except for any violation set forth in clauses (b) or (c) which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 5.6 Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, which would in any respect
impair the enforceability of the Loan Documents, taken as a whole or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.7 No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has
title in fee simple (or local law equivalent) to all of its owned real property, a valid leasehold interest in all its leased real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, license of, or right to use, all its other tangible
Property material to its business, in all material respects, and no such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3. As of the date hereof, no condemnation has been commenced or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, is
contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any real property a Group Member has an interest in or for the relocation of roadways providing access to such property. 
 5.9 Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property owned by the Group Members is owned free and clear of all Liens (other than (i) as permitted by Section 8.3, (ii) licenses listed
on Schedule 5.9, (iii) other licenses granted in the ordinary course of business (including in connection with the sale or provision by Group Members of products or services), (iv) the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (v) licenses under which a Group Member is the licensor in existence as of the date hereof (including in connection with the sale or provision by a Group
Member of products or services) and (vi) licenses to other Group Members). Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of any Loan Party: (a) the conduct of, and the use of Intellectual
Property in, the business of the Group Members (including the products and services of the Group Members) does not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person; (b) in the last two
(2) years, there has been no such claim asserted in writing (including in the form of offers or invitations to obtain a license) asserted or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against any Group Member; (c) there is no valid
basis for a claim of 

  
 70 








 
infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of Intellectual Property rights against any Group Member; (d) no Person is infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any
Intellectual Property of any Group Member, and there has been no such claim asserted or threatened against any third party by any Group Member, or to the knowledge of any Loan Party, any other Person; (e) no Software included in the Collateral
is subject to the terms of any “open source” or other similar license that provides for any source code of such Software to be disclosed, licensed, publicly distributed, or dedicated to the public; and (f) each Group Member has at all
times complied with all applicable laws, as well as its own rules, policies, and procedures, relating to privacy, data protection, and the collection and use of personal information collected, used, or held for use by such Group Member. 

5.10 Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to
be filed by it and all such tax returns are true, correct, and complete in all material respects; each Loan Party has paid all federal, state and other material taxes and any assessments made against it or any of its property by any Governmental
Authority (other than any which are not yet due or the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of
the relevant Loan Party); no tax Lien has been filed (other than for taxes not yet due or the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with
GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Loan Party) and, no Loan Party is aware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any extension of credit under this
Agreement will be used for any purpose that violates or would be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U 1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
 5.12 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member
pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, or any other applicable Requirement of Law
dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member. 

5.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412
of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Plan has complied in all respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except where such “accumulated funding deficiency” or failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse 

  
 71 








 
Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien against the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan or a Multiemployer
Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which
this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by more than $50,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal
from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if
the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is
in Reorganization or Insolvent. 
 5.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation
X of the Board, as amended) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
 5.15 Subsidiaries. (a) Except as
disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Restatement Date, Schedule 5.15 sets forth (i) the name and jurisdiction of formation or incorporation of each Group Member and, as to each such Group
Member (other than the Borrower and Zarlink and its Subsidiaries), states the authorized and issued capitalization of such Group Member, the beneficial and record owners thereof and the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan
Party and (ii) each Immaterial Subsidiary as of the Restatement Date, (b) except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Restatement Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions,
options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees, independent contractors or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of any Group
Member (other than the Borrower and Zarlink and its Subsidiaries), except as created by the Loan Documents or as permitted hereby, and (c) as of the date hereof, each Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor is an Immaterial
Subsidiary. Except as listed on Schedule 5.15, as of the Restatement Date, no Group Member owns any interests in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangements with any Person (other than Zarlink and its Subsidiaries). 

5.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to (a) refinance the Existing Term Loans and
(b) finance a portion of the Zarlink Acquisition and the Refinancing and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used on the Restatement Date to finance a portion of the Zarlink Acquisition and the
Refinancing. Prior to and after the Restatement Date, the proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used, together with the proceeds of the Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit, for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries. 

  
 72 








 5.17 Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member
(the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or could reasonably be
expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
 (b) no Group Member has received any written notice of
violation, nor has knowledge of any alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Group
Member, nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 

(c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties by any Group Member or, to the
Borrower’s knowledge, by any other person in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated,
treated, stored or disposed of by any Group Member or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, by any other person at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any
applicable Environmental Law; 
 (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the business operated by any Group Member, nor are there
any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by any
Group Member; 
 (e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern by any Group Member
or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, by any other person at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of any Group Member in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the business operated by any
Group Member, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws;

 106








 
Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

 10.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required
under Section 11.5 to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as
the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense that is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 10.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and
its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit
issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender”,

Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former

Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement
Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date ten (10) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed).

or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that

 If, in connection with any proposed
amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders (including all Lenders under a single Facility), the consent of the Required Lenders (or Majority Facility Lenders, as the case may be) is


  
 111








 
obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase from such
Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments of such
Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Term Loans and any outstanding Revolving Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such
purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower may replace any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 4.13. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated), modified or
supplemented with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any
Lender or the Issuing Lender, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities with respect to Incremental Term Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest
and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders; provided, that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 are satisfied.

by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in
determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders” will automatically be deemed
modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1, any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or
amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, an assignment effected by the Administrative Agent in connection with the initial syndication of the Commitments or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the 

  
 116








 
case of the Term Facility, $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that
no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches of Loans (if any) on a non-pro rata basis; 

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section
and, in addition, the consent of: 
 (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof or (z) such assignment is an assignment of Term
Loans or Commitments made by the Administrative Agent prior to the Syndication Date; and 
 (B) the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) either Term Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or (y) the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 

(C) (1) in the case of any assignment to a new Revolving Lender or that increases the obligation of the Assignee to
participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (2) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the
Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate
or Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender; 
 (iv) except in the case of assignments pursuant to paragraph
(c) below, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative 

  
 117








 
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that payment of only one processing fee shall be required in connection with
simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds), and the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; 

(v) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and 

(vi) no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a natural person. 

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) below, subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5;
provided, that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of Sections 4.10(d) and 4.10(e). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender without
(a) providing any notice (including, without limitation, any administrative questionnaire) to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or (b) delivering an executed Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent; provided
that (A) such assigning Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement until an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire have been
delivered to the Administrative Agent, (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Assumption or administrative questionnaire to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or
binding effect of such assignment and (D) an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. 

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United
States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the


  
 118








 
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (d), the
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to paragraph (c), as to which an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire
are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on
behalf of the Borrower. The Register or Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and any Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) above, upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (c) above, no assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register (or, in the case of an
assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the applicable Related Party Register) as provided in this paragraph (d). The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

 (e) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(D) no participation shall be permitted to be made to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any officer or director of any such Person and (E) no sale of a participation shall be effective until and unless recorded in the selling
Lender’s Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9,
4.10 and 4.11 to the same 

  
 119








 
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the participation sold to each such Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Section 1.871-14(c)(1) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant had no such participation been transferred to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(d) and (e) as if it were a Lender. 

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or
securitization; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating
Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against
a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment
in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any
loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 

  
 120








 11.7 Sharing of Payments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement
expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall
immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or
proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such
Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be
necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a director creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation to the extent provided in clause (b) of this Section 11.7. 
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, subject to Section 10.11, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be subject to the express
provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders. 
 11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (in “.pdf” or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof. 

  
 121








 11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating 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. 
 11.10 Integration.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 11.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 11.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a
copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the address set forth in Section 11.2 or on the signature pages hereof, as the case may be, or at such other address of which the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction. 

11.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 

  
 122








 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists
by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 11.14 Releases
of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without
requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section 11.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent
necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document (including, without limitation, the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder) or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1; provided that no such release shall occur if (x) such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Junior
Financing or (y) such Collateral continues to secure any Junior Financing or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. 
 (b) At such time as (i) the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations and obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements) shall
have been paid in full or Cash Collateralized and (ii) the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security

or performance of any act by any Person. 
 11.15 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential
all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential in accordance with its customary procedures for handling its own confidential information; provided
that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Agent, any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of
this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other
professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to
any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 11.15),
(h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued
with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by 

  
 123








 
applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority 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 Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. 

11.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 11.17 Patriot Act Notice. (a) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan
Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 (b) Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby notifies Zarlink and any Subsidiary thereof or any corporation resulting from the Zarlink Acquisition, if any, organized under the laws of
Canada, or any province thereof, that pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your
client” laws, within Canada (including any guidelines or orders thereunder), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding such Person, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other
Persons in control of such Person, and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 11.18 Canadian Interest Rate (a) For the
purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder to the extent applicable, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate
of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of
interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. 

  
 124








 (b) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige Zarlink or a Subsidiary thereof or any
corporation resulting from the Zarlink Acquisition, if any, organized under the laws of Canada or any province thereof to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender or Agent in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be
prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender or Agent of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate
shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Lender or Agent of “interest” at
a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs,
expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

 So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted, on and after the first Adjustment Date (as defined below) occurring after the completion of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower after the Restatement Date,
based on changes in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, with such adjustments to become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three Business Days after the date on which the relevant financial statements are delivered
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1 and to remain in effect until the next adjustment to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified in
Section 7.1, then, until the date that is three Business Days after the date on which such financial statements are delivered, the highest rate set forth in each column of the Pricing Grid shall apply. On each Adjustment Date, the Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and the Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins opposite the Pricing Level determined to exist on such Adjustment Date from the financial statements relating to such
Adjustment Date. 
 As used herein, the following rules shall govern the determination of Pricing Levels on each Adjustment
Date: 
 “Pricing Level I” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the
relevant period is greater than 3.25 to 1.00. 
 “Pricing Level II” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00. 

“Pricing Level III” shall exist on an Adjustment Date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less
than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.50 to 1.00. 
 “Pricing Level IV” shall exist on an Adjustment
Date if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the relevant period is less than 2.50 to 1.00.

 FORM OF CONTROL AGREEMENT 

This Collateral Account Control Agreement dated as of
[            ], 20[    ] (the “Control Agreement”), among
[            ] (the
“Grantor”)12,
[            ]13 in its capacity as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC and/or a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacities, the
“Financial Institution”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as collateral agent under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the
“Collateral Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2010 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of
March 2, 2011, and as amended and restated by Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2011 and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), among Microsemi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and the Collateral
Agent, and if not defined therein, in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be referred to herein as the “Secured Party”. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York. 
 SECTION 1. Establishment of Collateral
Accounts. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 
 (a) The Financial Institution has
established the following account[s]: 
 (i) the “[identify exact title of account],” a [deposit
account/securities account], with account number [identify account number] in the name of [identify name of account holder] (the “             Account”); and 

(ii) the “[identify exact title of account],” a [deposit account/securities account], with account number
[identify account number] in the name of [identify name of account holder] (the “             Account”). 
 [Each] such account, and any successor account, is referred to herein [individually] as a “Collateral Account” [and collectively as the “Collateral Accounts”].

 (b) The Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written
consent of the Secured Party. 
  

	12 	Insert Grantor’s name as applicable. 


	13 	Insert financial institution’s name as applicable. 


  
 Ex. H-1








 (c) Each of the Collateral Accounts is either a “securities account” (as defined
in Section 8-501 of the UCC) or a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC). 
 As used
herein “Deposit Account” shall mean any Collateral Account which is a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC) and “Securities Account” shall mean any Collateral Account which is a
“securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC). 
 (d) If and to the extent any Collateral
Account is a Securities Account, the Grantor and the Financial Institution hereby agree: 
 (i) all securities or
other property underlying any financial assets credited to any Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in
the name of the Financial Institution and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the order of the Grantor or specially indorsed to the Grantor except to the extent
the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank; 
 (ii) all property
delivered to the Financial Institution pursuant to the Loan Documents will be promptly credited to one of the Collateral Accounts; and 
 (iii) the Financial Institution hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to any Collateral Account that is a
Securities Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC. 
 SECTION 2.
Control of the Collateral Accounts. This Control Agreement evidences the Secured Party’s control over the Collateral Accounts for purposes of the UCC (including Sections 9-104 and 9-106 thereof and Section 8-106 thereof).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreements between the Financial Institution and any Grantor governing the Collateral Accounts, if at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any order from the Secured Party
(i) directing disposition of funds in any Collateral Account or (ii) directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to a Collateral Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such entitlement order or
instruction without further consent by the Grantor or any other person. 
 SECTION 3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In
the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral Account or any security entitlement or cash credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby
agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party. The financial assets, money and other items credited to any Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or
any other right 

  
 Ex. H-2








 
in favor of any person other than the Secured Party (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 respective Collateral Account and (ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to such Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or
insufficient funds). 
 SECTION 4. Choice of Law. This Control Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this
Control Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed the bank’s
jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC). [Each of] the Collateral Account[s] shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York. 
 SECTION 5. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendment. 

(a) In the event of any conflict between this Control Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or
hereafter entered into among the parties hereto, the terms of this Control Agreement shall prevail. 
 (b) No amendment or
modification of this Control 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 Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that: 

(i) there are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor with respect to any
Collateral Account [except for [identify other agreements] (the “Account Agreements”)]; 
 (ii)
it has not entered into, and until the termination of this Control Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Collateral Accounts 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) or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other person; and 

(iii) it has not entered into, and until the termination of this Control Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with
the Grantor or the Secured Party purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with entitlement orders or instructions. 
 SECTION 6. Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the Secured Party and of the Grantor in the Collateral Accounts, the Financial Institution does not know of any lien on or
claim to, or interest in, any Collateral Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in 

  
 Ex. H-3








 
Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against the Collateral Accounts or in any financial asset carried therein, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Grantor thereof. 
 SECTION 7. Maintenance of Accounts. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor entitlement orders and instructions as set forth in
Section 2 hereof, the Financial Institution agrees to maintain the Collateral Accounts as follows: 
 (a) Notice of Sole
Control. If at any time the Secured Party delivers to the Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Sole Control”), the Financial Institution
agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Collateral Account[s] referenced in such notice solely from the Secured Party and shall not comply with the instructions or entitlement orders of any other
person. 
 (b) Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution shall, and is hereby authorized and instructed by
the Grantors, to (i) promptly furnish copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning any Collateral Account and, if applicable, any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Grantor and the
Secured Party at the address for each set forth in Section 12 of this Control Agreement, (ii) make available other information relating to any Collateral Account that the Financial Institution makes available to the Grantors and
(iii) disclose to the Secured Party all information reasonably requested by the Secured Party regarding any Collateral Account. 
 (c) Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss, if any, recognized in any Collateral Account and all interest, if any, relating to any Collateral Account, shall be reported to the
Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Grantor. 
 (d) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7, the Grantor shall direct the Financial
Institution with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to the Collateral Account[s]. 
 (e) Permitted
Investments. Until such time as the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the Secured Party, the Grantor shall direct the Financial Institution with respect to the selection of investments, if any; provided, however,
that the Financial Institution shall not honor any instruction to purchase any investments other than investments of a type describe on Exhibit B hereto. 
 SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants: 

(a) [each] [the] Collateral Account has each been established as set forth in Section 1 and such Collateral Accounts will be
maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement; 

  
 Ex. H-4








 (b) [each] [the] Deposit Account is a deposit account (within the meaning of
Section 9-102 of the UCC), and [each] [the] Securities Account is a securities account (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); 
 (c) the Financial Institution constitutes a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) and the jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 9-304 of the UCC) of the
Financial Institution for purposes of the Deposit Accounts shall be one or more States within the United States; 
 (d) the
Financial Institution constitutes a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) and the jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 8-110 of the UCC) of the Financial Institution for purposes of the
Securities Accounts shall be one or more States within the United States; and 
 (e) this Control Agreement is the valid and
legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution. 
 SECTION 9. Indemnification of Financial Institution. The Grantor and
the Secured Party hereby agree that (a) the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Grantor and the Secured Party arising from the terms of this Control 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 and (b) the Grantor, 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 others arising out of the terms of this Control Agreement or the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such claims, actions and suits arise
from the Financial Institution’s negligence, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the same, until the termination of
this Control Agreement. If the Grantor has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 9 and such payment has fully indemnified the Secured Party or the Financial Institution, as the case may be, thereof and such recipient thereafter
collects any payment from others in respect of such indemnified amounts, then the Secured Party or the Financial Institution, as the case may be, will repay to the Grantor an amount equal to such amount it has collected from others in respect of
such indemnified amounts. The indemnities in this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Control Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.
Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or assigns. The Grantors shall not assign or transfer any
of their rights or obligations under this Control Agreement without the prior written consent of the Financial Institution and the Secured Party. The Secured Party may transfer (including by assignment) its rights and duties hereunder in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents upon prior written notice to the Financial Institution and Grantor. 
 SECTION 11. Merger or
Consolidation of Financial Institution. Without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, any bank into which the Financial Institution may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, 

  
 Ex. H-5








 
or any bank resulting from any merger to which the Financial Institution shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Financial Institution hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions
hereof which are binding upon the Financial Institution. 
 SECTION 12. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in

 provided that any notice, request or demand to the Secured Party shall not be effective until received. 

SECTION 13. Continuing Obligations; Termination. The rights and powers granted herein to the Secured Party have been granted in order to
protect and further perfect its security interests in the Collateral Accounts and are powers coupled with an interest and will be affected neither by any purported revocation by the Grantors of this Control Agreement or the rights granted to the
Secured Party hereunder or by the bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship or receivership of the Grantors or the Financial Institution or by the lapse of time. The obligations of the Financial Institution to the Secured Party pursuant to this
Control Agreement shall continue in effect until the security interests of the Secured Party in each of the Collateral Accounts have been terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Secured Party has notified the Financial

 Exhibit I to 
 Credit Agreement 
 FORM OF INTERCOMPANY NOTE 

Dated:                      

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each undersigned entity (collectively, the “Group Members” and each, a “Group
Member”) that is a party to this intercompany promissory note (this “Promissory Note”) as a Payor (as defined below) promises to pay to the order of such other Group Member that makes loans to such Group Member (each Group
Member which borrows money pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a “Payor” and each Group Member which makes loans and advances pursuant to this Promissory Note is referred to herein as a
“Payee”), on demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds and at the appropriate office of the Payee, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and
hereafter made by such Payee to such Payor and any other Indebtedness for borrowed money now or hereafter owing by such Payor to such Payee as shown either on Schedule A attached hereto (and any continuation thereof) or in the books and
records of such Payee. The failure to show any such Indebtedness or any error in showing such Indebtedness shall not affect the obligations of any Payor hereunder. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Microsemi
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as collateral agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral
Agent”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”), Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as syndication agent and East West Bank and Raymond James Bank, FSB, as documentation agents. 
 The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Payor and the Payee. Interest
shall be due and payable at such times as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Payor and the relevant Payee. Interest shall be paid in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed
for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. 
 The Payor,
and any endorser of this Promissory Note hereby, waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such
rights. 
 This Promissory Note has been pledged by each Payee to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
as security for such Payee’s obligations, if any, under the Loan 

  
 Ex. I-1








 
Documents to which such Payee is a party. Each Payor acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of each Payee under this
Promissory Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to such Payor. 
 Each Payee agrees that any and all claims of such Payee against the Payor or any endorser of this Promissory Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the Obligations until all of the Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations and obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in immediately available funds or Cash Collateralized and all
Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit are outstanding; provided, that the Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided,
further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Promissory Note shall be received by the Payor subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of any Payee to ask, demand, sue for, take or
receive any payment from the Payor, all rights and Liens of such Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any Property of the Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to any Secured Party to
secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties in such Property. Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, the Payees shall have no right to
possession of any such Property or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such Property, whether by judicial action or otherwise, until all of the Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations and obligations
under or in respect of Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in immediately available funds or Cash Collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit are outstanding. 

Except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, if all or any part of the Property of the Payor, or the proceeds thereof, is subject
to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of the Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
action or proceeding, or if the business of the Payor is dissolved or if all or substantially all of the Property of the Payor is sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or other
property which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of the Payor to any Payee (“Payor Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Collateral Agent for application to any of the
Obligations, due or to become due, until all of the Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations and obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements) have been paid in full in immediately available funds or Cash Collateralized and
all Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit are outstanding. Each Payee irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Collateral Agent as such Payee’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable) to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of such Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Collateral
Agent’s own name or in the name of such Payee or otherwise, as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this Promissory Note. Each Payee also agrees to 


  
 Ex. I-2








 
execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may vote such proofs of claim in
any such proceeding (and the Payee shall to be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the
same on account of any of the Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any
proceeds thereof be received by any Payee upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to such Payee prior to such time as the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds and all commitments to extend
credit under any Loan Document have expired or been terminated, such Payee shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Payee where necessary or advisable in the Collateral Agent’s judgment), for application to any of the Obligations in accordance with the
Credit Agreement and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of such Payee and held in trust by such Payee as the property of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If such Payee fails to make
any such endorsement or assignment to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. 

The Secured Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of the subordination provisions contained herein and shall be entitled to enforce
such subordination provisions. 
 THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS PROMISSORY
NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 This
Promissory Note may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.
