the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Company, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing
Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Company and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Company to Swing Line Lender. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent

 34 








 
Swing Line Loans to the extent of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender,

interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be

any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any
Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such
obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were
satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or
other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; 

  

 35 








 
and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during
the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when a Funding Default exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to
the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Company and Issuing Bank, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing
Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any

limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not
give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising
solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under
Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day

Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in 

  

 37 








 
Section 3.2, Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds
of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the
Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Company shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d). 
 (e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a
Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
(with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d),
Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Commitments. Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than
12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Issuing
Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest
thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to
recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender
constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently
received by Issuing Bank from Company in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as
such Lender may request. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Company to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under
the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving 

  

 38 








 
Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and
shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off,
defense or other right which Company or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the
case of a Lender, against Company, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any
Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations,
properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit
shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question. 
 (g)
Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Company under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to
as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank
of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. 
 2.5. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds. 
 (a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment or any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be
increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. 
 (b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender
does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such 

  

 39 








 
Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by
Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate
payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any
rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 2.6. Use of Proceeds. The
proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used on the Closing Date solely (i) to pay the merger consideration due and owing in connection with the Pantone Mergers, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Pantone Merger Agreement (as in effect
on the date hereof), (ii) to refinance all the Existing Indebtedness of Company and the Pantone Targets, and (iii) to pay fees, commissions and expenses as of the Closing Date in connection therewith. The proceeds of the Revolving
Commitments being used solely to provide for ongoing working capital requirements of Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and for general corporate purposes No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any
manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 

2.7. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes. 
 (a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Company
to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any
such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency
between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. 
 (b) Register. Administrative
Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of
the Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent
shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in 

  

 40 








 
the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of
the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Company hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as Company’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this
Section 2.7, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute
“Indemnitees.” 
 (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative
Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender
pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan or Revolving Loan or Swing
Line Loan, as the case may be. 
 2.8. Interest on Loans 
 (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

 (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or 
 (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and 
 (b) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans
only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Company and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be;
provided, until the date which is the earlier of (i) the completion of the primary syndication as determined by the Agents and (ii) sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Term Loans shall be maintained as either
(A) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one (1) month or (B) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. 
  

 41 








 (d) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods
outstanding at any time. In the event Company fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be
automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event
Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the
Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender. 
 (e) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year,
as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the
making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect
to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is
made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan. 
 (f) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) with
respect to Revolving Loans, shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) with respect to Term Loans, shall accrue on a daily
basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being
prepaid; and (iv) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued
interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date. 
 (g) Company agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to
drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Company at
a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 
  

 42 








 (h) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(g) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by
Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.8(g), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the
date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit
fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored
drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of
that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Company.

 2.9. Conversion/Continuation. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Company shall have the option: 
 (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in
excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Company shall pay all amounts
due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or 
 (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period
applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (b) Company shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day
in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar
Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate
Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. 
  

 43 








 2.10. Default Interest. At the election of the Requisite Lenders, after the occurrence of an Event
of Default and for so long as it continues (or automatically while any Event of Default under subsection 8.1(f) or 8.1(g) exists), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on
the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per
annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable
hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become
Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest
provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 2.11. Fees. 
 (a) Company agrees to pay to Lenders: 
 (i) having Revolving Exposure, commitment fees equal to (1) the average
of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments and (b) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of
Credit, times (2) 0.50% per annum; 
 (ii) having Revolving Exposure, letter of credit fees equal to (1) the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be
met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination). 
 All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid to
Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof. 
 (b) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (c) Company agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the
following fees: 
 (i) a fronting fee equal to 0.250%, per annum, times the average aggregate daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and 
  

 44 








 (ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or
payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be. 
 (d) All fees referred to in Section 2.11(a) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 
 (e) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Company agrees to pay to Agents such other fees in
the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon. 
 2.12. Scheduled Payments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Scheduled Installments. The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each, an
“Installment”) in the aggregate amounts set forth below on the four quarterly scheduled Interest Payment Dates applicable to Term Loans, commencing December 31, 2007 (with the remaining balance of the Term Loans due and payable
in full in cash on the Term Loan Maturity Date):

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any
voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15, as applicable; and (y) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in
full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date. 
 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. 
 (i) Any time and from time to time: 
 (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Company may prepay any such Loans on any
Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; 
 (2) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Company may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that

Base Rate Loans; 
 (2) upon not less than three Business Days prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar

 in each case given to Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given
by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, by telefacsimile or telephone to each
Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment
shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a). 
 (b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions. 
  

 46 








 (i) Company may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic

whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty except as provided in Section 2.18(c), the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving
Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that

Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof. 
 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions. 
 (a) Asset Sales. No later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the
date of receipt by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Company shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to
such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable
date of determination do not exceed $5,000,000, Company shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds (other than Net Asset Sale Proceeds from any Existing Headquarters Asset Sale)
within one hundred eighty days of receipt thereof in long-term productive assets of the general type used in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries; provided further, pending any such investment all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds
shall be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent outstanding (without a reduction in Revolving Commitments); provided still further, that on or prior to June 30, 2008, the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the Existing
Headquarters Asset Sale may be applied first against the Existing Headquarters Loan, with any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds remaining after payment in full in cash of the Existing Headquarters Loan being applied as otherwise required by this
Section 2.14(a) (without being reinvested as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14(a)). 
 (b) Insurance/Condemnation

and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable date of determination do not exceed $5,000,000, Company shall have the option, directly or through one or
more of its Subsidiaries to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one hundred eighty days of receipt thereof in long term productive assets of the

general type used in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries, which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable
assets thereof; provided further, pending any such investment all such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent outstanding (without a reduction in Revolving
Commitments). 
 (c) Key-Man Life Insurance. No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any proceeds of any Key Person Life Insurance Policy, Company shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an
aggregate amount equal to such proceeds. 
 (d) Issuance of Debt and Equity. On the date of receipt by Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the issuance of Capital Stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (x) Excluded Equity Issuances and (y) with
respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1), Company shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to
100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses. 
 (e) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with Fiscal Year
ending on December 31, 2008), Company shall, no later than ninety days after the end of such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount
equal to (i) 75% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) voluntary repayments of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments of
Revolving Loans; provided, for any Fiscal Year in which the Leverage Ratio (determined by reference to the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) calculating the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year)
shall be 3.00 to 1.00 or less, Company shall only be required to make the prepayments and/or reductions otherwise required hereby in an amount equal to 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. 
 (f) Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. Company shall from time to time prepay first, the Swing Line Loans, and second, the Revolving
Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments plus the Existing Headquarters Reserve shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 
 (g) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Sections
2.14(a) through 2.14(e), Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be. In the
event that Company shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Company shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall 

  

 48 








 
be permanently reduced in an amount equal to such excess, and Company shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an
Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 
 2.15. Application of Prepayments/Reductions. 
 (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied as
specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof; 
 second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof; and 
 third, to prepay all remaining installments of the Term Loans pro rata against all such scheduled installments based upon the
respective amounts thereof. 
 (b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to
Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e) shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to prepay all remaining installments of Term

 second, to prepay
the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; 
 third, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; 
 fourth, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and to further permanently reduce the
Revolving Loan Commitments by the amount of such prepayment; 
 fifth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit and to
further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments by the amount of such cash collateralization; and 
 sixth,
to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien Term Loans and any other Second Lien Indebtedness then due and payable. 
 (c)
Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before
application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 2.18(c). 
  


 49 








 2.16. General Provisions Regarding Payments. 
 (a) All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or
counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for
purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of
accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. 
 (c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it)
shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts
due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative
Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. 
 (e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of
“Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder, unless such succeeding Business Day occurs after the Term Loan Maturity Date, with
respect to the Term Loan, or after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, with respect to Revolving Loans, in which case, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
 (f) Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Company’s accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be
made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose). 
 (g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall
not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Company
and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to
accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no 

  

 50 








 
event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10
from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. 
 (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, Administrative Agent shall apply any and all payments or proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of the
Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent, in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to the Administrative Agent
and/or the Syndication Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this
Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the Collateral; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts);
fourth, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding, and to the Obligations owing to any Lender Counterparty in respect of any Interest Rate Agreement required or permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, fifth, to
provide cash collateral to secure any and all Letters of Credit and future payment of related fees, sixth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Company owing to the Agents or any Lender under the Credit Documents, and seventh,
to Obligations owing to any Lender Counterparty in respect of any Currency Agreement permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 2.17. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any
of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by
the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal,
interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is
greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of
the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such
payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such
proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise
any and all rights of banker’s lien, 

  

 51 








 
set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the
amount of the participation held by that holder. 
 2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist
for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company. 
 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful
as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law
even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding
Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected
Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by
Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving
notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to 

  

 52 








 
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of
rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to
make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) Compensation for
Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and
liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of
such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding
Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation;
(ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (including, without limitation, pursuant to
Section 2.13(c) hereof); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company. 
 (d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. 
 (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of
all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest
at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of
such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and
the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19. 
 2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
 (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and
Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(a)) shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration
or application 

  

 53 








 
thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental
authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date (or in the case of any Lender that becomes a party after the Closing Date, the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto), or compliance by such Lender with any guideline,
request or directive issued or made after the Closing Date by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any
additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable
lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory
loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
(other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or
affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans
hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next
sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for
any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the
additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in
or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to,
such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from
time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such 

  

 54 








 
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender
shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, etc. 
 (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall
(except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or
within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the
United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. 
 (b) Withholding of Taxes; Other Taxes. If any
Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for
purposes of this Section 2.20(b)) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) Company
shall pay or cause to be paid any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be
increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no
such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable pursuant to this paragraph (b)); and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make
any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of
such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that
any change after the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other
Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the Closing Date or at the date of such
Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender; provided that additional amounts shall be payable to a Lender to the extent such Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive such additional amounts. In addition,
each Credit Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance 

  

 55 








 
with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any
payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document (“Other Taxes”). Each Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent and each Lender
an official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available, such other evidence of payment as shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and such Lender) in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Other
Taxes. 
 (c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of
each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the
determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly
executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with
respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form),
properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States
federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for
United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Company on or prior to the Closing Date
(or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that
such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United
States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed
and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required 

  

 56 








 
under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of
United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Company shall not be required
to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.20(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.20(c), or
(2) to notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this
Section 2.20(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.20(c) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any
additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.20 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such
Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. 
 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as
promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to
become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory
restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as
a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be
materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other
measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to
this Section 2.21 unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to
this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or
request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment under
Section 2.3(b)(iv) or 2.4(e) (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes
of 

  

 57 








 
voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary
prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving
Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted
Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of
the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of
calculating the Revolving Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to
Section 2.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments as at any date of determination
shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Section 2.22, performance by Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies
against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default. 
 2.23. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Company that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to
withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Company’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and
(iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other
Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated
Lender”), Company may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such 

  

 58 








 
Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to
one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and the assignment fees, if any, in connection with such assignment shall be paid as follows: (x) Company shall
pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such
assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Terminated Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all Loans and Revolving Commitments and the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an
amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated
Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such
assignment, Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each
Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, Company may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that
is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Company shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the
termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall
survive as to such Terminated Lender.

represents and warrants to each Lender and Issuing Bank on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that the following statements are true and correct (it being understood and agreed that the representations and warranties made on the Closing Date

wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and could not be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.2. Capital Stock and Ownership. The Capital Stock of each of Company and its Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is
fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of the date hereof, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party requiring, and there
is no membership interest or other Capital Stock of Company or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding which upon conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any additional membership interests or other
Capital Stock of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Capital Stock of Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Schedule 4.2 correctly sets forth the ownership interest of Company and each of its Subsidiaries in their respective Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. 
 4.3. Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Credit Party that is a party thereto. 
  

 62

Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, any of the Organizational Documents of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Company or any of its Subsidiaries except to the extent such
violation could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries except to the extent such conflict, breach or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Liens created under any of the Credit Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties); or (d) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or any approval or
consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents were obtained on or before the date hereof (to the extent required to be so obtained by such date) or otherwise by
the Closing Date, and disclosed in writing to Lenders and except for any such approvals or consents the failure of which to obtain will not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.5. Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority except as otherwise set forth
in the Related Agreements and on Schedule 4.5 hereto, and except for filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date. 
 4.6. Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally

creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and
normal year-end adjustments. As of the date hereof, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical
Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company and any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

  

 63 








 4.8. Projections. On and as of the date hereof, the projections of Company and its Subsidiaries
for the period of Fiscal Year 2008 through and including Fiscal Year 2011 (the “Projections”) are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of Company; provided, the Projections are not to be viewed
as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and that the differences may be material; provided further, as of the date hereof, management of Company believed
that the Projections were reasonable and attainable. 
 4.9. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 30, 2006, no event,
circumstance or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.10. Intentionally Omitted. 
 4.11. Adverse Proceedings, etc. There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually
or in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal
or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.12. Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.3, all tax returns and reports of Company and its Subsidiaries required
to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Company and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets,
income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable. Company knows of no proposed tax assessment against Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is not being actively contested by Company or such
Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided, such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor. Neither Company not any of its
Subsidiaries has ever been a party to an understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code, or has
ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4.  
 4.13. Properties. 
 (a) Title. Each of Company and its Subsidiaries has (i) good, sufficient and legal
title to (in the case of fee interests in real property), (ii) valid leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property), and (iii) good title to (in the case of all other personal property), all of
their respective properties and assets reflected in their respective Historical Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.5 and in the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, in each case except for assets
disposed of since the 

  

 64 








 
date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.9. Except as permitted by this Agreement,
all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens. 
 (b) Real Estate. As of the date hereof, Schedule 4.13 contains a true,
accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets, and (ii) all leases, subleases or assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof) affecting each Real Estate
Asset of any Credit Party, regardless of whether such Credit Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment. Each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect and Company does not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each
applicable Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights
generally or by equitable principles. 
 4.14. Environmental Matters. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their
respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law that, individually or in the aggregate, could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are and, to each of Company’ and its
Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Company or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under
any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Real Property, and none of Company’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of
hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent, except in compliance with Environmental Laws. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could
not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of
Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.15. No Defaults. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or
indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 65 








 4.16. Material Contracts. Schedule 4.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the
Material Contracts in effect on the date hereof, and except as described thereon, all such Material Contracts are in full force and effect and no defaults currently exist thereunder. 
 4.17. Governmental Regulation. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 4.18. Margin Stock. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any
such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors.  

 4.19. Employee Matters. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of Company, threatened against any of them before the National Labor
Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of Company, threatened against any of them,
(b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) to the best knowledge of Company, no union representation
question existing with respect to the employees of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of Company, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or
(c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.20.
Employee Benefit Plans. Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would
cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than 

  

 66 








 
required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected
to be incurred by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state
laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value
of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the
actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each
Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of
Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Company, each of its Subsidiaries
and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to
payments to a Multiemployer Plan. 
 4.21. Certain Fees. Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.21, no broker’s or finder’s
fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 4.22. Solvency. Each Credit
Party is and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by such Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be, Solvent. 
 4.23. Compliance with Statutes, Etc. Each of Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental
Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits
issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Company or any of its Subsidiaries), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.24. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of the Company, the Pantone Targets, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries contained in any Credit Document, any Related Agreement, or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Company, the Pantone Targets, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Company or the Pantone Targets, in the case of any document not furnished by
either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are


  

 67 








 
based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company or Pantone Targets to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that
such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the
reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Company or the Pantone Targets (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have
not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 (e) Certain Calculations. With respect to any period during which a Permitted Acquisition
or an Asset Sale has occurred (each, a “Subject Transaction”), for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in this Section 6.8, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be calculated with respect to
such period on a pro forma basis (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to a specific transaction, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case determined on a
basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act and as interpreted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would include cost savings resulting from head count reduction, closure of
facilities and similar restructuring charges, which pro forma adjustments shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Company) using the historical audited financial statements of any business so acquired or to be acquired or sold or to be
sold and the consolidated financial statements of Company and its Subsidiaries which shall be reformulated as if such Subject Transaction, and any Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection therewith, had been consummated or incurred or repaid at
the beginning of such period (and assuming that such Indebtedness bears interest during any portion of the applicable measurement period prior to the relevant acquisition at the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to outstanding Loans
incurred during such period). 
 6.9. Fundamental Changes; Disposition of Assets; Acquisitions. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or convey, sell, lease or sub-lease (as lessor or sublessor), exchange,
transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any part of its business, assets or property of any kind whatsoever, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or leased, or acquire by purchase or otherwise (other than purchases or other acquisitions of inventory, materials and equipment and expenditures constituting Consolidated Capital Expenditures in the ordinary course of business)
the business, property or fixed assets of, or stock or other evidence of beneficial ownership of, any Person or any division or line of business or other business unit of any Person, except: 
 (a) any Subsidiary of Company may be merged with or into any Guarantor Subsidiary, or be liquidated, wound up or dissolved, or all or any part of its
business, property or assets may be conveyed, sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to any Guarantor Subsidiary; provided, in the case of such a merger, such Guarantor Subsidiary
shall be the continuing or surviving Person; 
  

 90 








 (b) sales or other dispositions of assets that do not constitute Asset Sales; 
 (c) Asset Sales, the proceeds of which (valued at the principal amount thereof in the case of non-Cash proceeds consisting of notes or other debt
Securities and valued at fair market value in the case of other non-Cash proceeds) when aggregated with the proceeds of all other Asset Sales made within the same Fiscal Year, are less than $5,000,000; provided (1) the consideration
received for such assets shall be in an amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof (determined in good faith by the board of directors of Company (or similar governing body)), (2) no less than 85% thereof shall be paid in Cash, and
(3) the Net Asset Sale Proceeds thereof shall be applied as required by Section 2.14(a); 
 (d) Asset Sales set forth on Schedule
6.9; 
 (e) disposals of obsolete, worn out or surplus equipment; 
 (f) Permitted Acquisitions, provided, the total consideration paid or payable (including without limitation, any deferred payment) for all such Permitted

 (g) Investments made in accordance with Section 6.7; 
 (h) Intentionally Omitted; 
 (i) for the avoidance of doubt, Capital Expenditures constituting the
acquisition of Intellectual Property through the purchase, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of the business, property or fixed assets of, or stock or other evidence of beneficial ownership of, any Person or any division or line of
business or other business unit of any Person in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 in any Fiscal Year; 
 (j) the Existing
Headquarters Asset Sale made in accordance with Section 5.23; and 
 (k) on the Closing Date, the Pantone Mergers in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Pantone Merger Documents. 
 6.10. Disposal of Subsidiary Interests. Except for any sale of all of its
interests in the Capital Stock of any of its Subsidiaries in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.9, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (a) directly or indirectly sell, assign, pledge or otherwise
encumber or dispose of any Capital Stock of any of its Subsidiaries, except to qualify directors if required by applicable law; or (b) permit any of its Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or
dispose of any Capital Stock of any of its Subsidiaries, except to another Credit Party (subject to the restrictions on such disposition otherwise imposed hereunder), or to qualify directors if required by applicable law.  
 6.11. Sales and Lease-Backs. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, become or remain
liable as lessee or as a guarantor or other surety with respect to any lease of any property (whether real, personal or mixed), whether now 

  

 91 








 
owned or hereafter acquired, which such Credit Party (a) has sold or transferred or is to sell or to transfer to any other Person (other than Company or
any of its Subsidiaries), or (b) intends to use for substantially the same purpose as any other property which has been or is to be sold or transferred by such Credit Party to any Person (other than Company or any of its Subsidiaries) in
connection with such lease. 
 6.12. Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of Company on terms that are less
favorable to Company or that Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that might be obtained at the time from a Person who is not such a holder or Affiliate; provided, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (a) any transaction
between Company and any Guarantor Subsidiary; (b) reasonable and customary fees paid to members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of Company and its Subsidiaries; (c) compensation arrangements for officers and other
employees of Company and its Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business; and (d) transactions described in Schedule 6.12. 
 6.13. Conduct of Business. From and after the Closing Date, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than (i) the businesses engaged in by such Credit Party on the
Closing Date and similar or related businesses and (ii) such other lines of business as may be consented to by Requisite Lenders. 
 6.14. Intentionally Omitted. 
 6.15. Amendments or Waivers of Certain Related Agreements. No Credit Party shall nor
shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, agree to any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to, or waiver of, any of its material rights under any Related Agreement (other than the Second Lien Indebtedness Documents)
after the date hereof without in each case obtaining the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders to such amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification or waiver. No Credit Party shall agree to any material amendment to any Second Lien
Indebtedness Document in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 6.16. Amendments or Waivers with respect to Certain
Indebtedness. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, amend or otherwise change the terms of the Existing Headquarters Loan or the Existing Headquarters Guaranty, or make any payment consistent with an amendment
thereof or change thereto, if the effect of such amendment or change is to increase the interest rate on the Existing Headquarters Loan, change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal or interest are due thereon, change any
event of default or condition to an event of default with respect thereto (other than to eliminate any such event of default or increase any grace period related thereto), change the redemption, prepayment or defeasance provisions thereof, change
the subordination provisions of the Existing Headquarters Loan (or of any guaranty thereof), or if the effect of such amendment or change, together with all other amendments or changes made, is to increase materially the obligations of the obligor
thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the holders of the Existing Headquarters Loan (or a trustee or other representative on their behalf) which would be adverse to any Credit Party or Lenders. 
  

 92 








 6.17. Fiscal Year. No Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to change
its Fiscal Year-end from the Saturday closest to December 31 of each calendar year. 
 SECTION 7. GUARANTY 
 7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). 
 7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the
“Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to
cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio
of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid
or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of
determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under
Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing
Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder
shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount
of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments
received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the
related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any
Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 
  

 93 








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

 94 








 (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without
affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the
rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions
for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold
security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter
held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each
case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales,
whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and 
 (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert
or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at
law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument
executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other
guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other
than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other
than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary 

  

 95 








 
might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change,
reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security
interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of
consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or
to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.5. Waivers by Guarantors.
Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other
Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit
Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority
or any disability or other defense of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by
reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a
surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior
which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder,
(ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any
requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action
or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related
thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which
limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 
 7.6. Guarantors’ Rights
of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor
hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may 

  

 96 








 
hereafter have against Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its
obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification
that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against
Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor)
of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have
against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right,
title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith
be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, effective upon any sale, registration, assignment or transfer of or foreclosure on, or any other disposition or remedial action in respect of, any Capital Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of any Guarantor or the Company by
any Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Credit Documents and/or applicable law, all such rights and claims of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, exoneration, reimbursement and enforcement against the Company, any Subsidiary of any Guarantor
or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be, and hereby are, forever extinguished and indefeasibly waived and released by each Guarantor. 
 7.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed
Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid
over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision
hereof. 
 7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving 

  

 97 








 
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to
revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 
 7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Company.
It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 
 7.10. Financial Condition of Company. Any Credit Extension may be made to Company or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be
entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered
into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain
information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and
keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any
matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. 
 7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a)So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or
join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged,
deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Company
or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been
commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule
of law or order which may relieve Company of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative
Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. 
  

 98 








 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Company, the
obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary
as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 
 7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder
shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be
discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale. 
 SECTION 8.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 8.1. Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur: 
 (a) Failure to Make Payments When Due. Failure by Company to pay (i) when due any amount of principal of any Loan, whether at stated maturity,

fee, expense reimbursement or any other amount due hereunder within five days after the date due; or 
 (b) Default in Other
Agreements. (i) Failure of any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay when due any principal of or interest on or any other amount payable in respect of one or more items of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness

by any Credit Party with respect to any other material term of (1) one or more items of Indebtedness in the individual or aggregate principal amounts referred to in clause (i) above or (2) any loan agreement, mortgage, indenture or
other agreement relating to such item(s) of Indebtedness, in each case beyond the grace period, if any, provided therefor, if the effect of such breach or default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of that Indebtedness (or a trustee on
behalf of such holder or holders), to cause, that Indebtedness to become or be declared due and payable (or redeemable) prior to its stated maturity or the stated maturity of any underlying obligation, as the case may be; or 
 (c) Breach of Certain Covenants. Failure of any Credit Party to perform or comply with any term or condition contained in Section 2.6,

insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any
Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence
shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or removed
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.
Any resignation or removal of Fifth Third as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Fifth Third or its successor as Collateral Agent, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed
pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. Any resignation or removal of Fifth Third or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Fifth Third or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) Company shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and (c) Company shall issue, if so requested by successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Loan

 (a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties,
(i) to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents and (ii) to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and each Lender acknowledges that it has
received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted pursuant to this Agreement or
to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which
Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented. 
  

 106 








 (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the
Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, acting at the direction (or with the consent) of, and on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the
terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private
sale, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use
and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale. 
 9.9. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or
any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because
such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any
Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto,
the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in
respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 
 10.5. Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom,
shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders. 
 (b) Affected Lenders’ Consent.
Without the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would: 
 (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note; 
 (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment); 
 (iii) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; 
 (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant

 110 








 (v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees; 
 (vi) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit; 
 (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 10.5(b) or Section 10.5(c); 
 (viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”; provided, with the

Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date; 
 (ix)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents; 
 (x) permit an Interest Period on any Class of Loan held by such Lender with a duration in excess of six months; or 
 (xi) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document. 

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by
any Credit Party therefrom, shall: 
 (i) increase any Revolving Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in
effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Revolving Commitment of any Lender;

consent of Swing Line Lender; 
 (iii) amend the definition of “Requisite Class Lenders” without the consent
of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class; provided, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of such “Requisite Class Lenders” on
substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date; 
 (iv) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes pursuant to Section 2.15 without the consent
of Requisite Class Lenders 

  

 111 








 
of each Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided, Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in
part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered; 
 (v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) without the written consent of Administrative Agent
and of Issuing Bank; or

Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent. 
 (d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such
Credit Party. 
 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of
each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Register.
Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer
of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates
regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by the
Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Company and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as
applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request 

  

 112 








 
or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee
of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. 
 (c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or
transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment
shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitments): 
 (i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Company and Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of
notice to Company and Administrative Agent and, in the case of assignments of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to any such Person (except in the case of assignments made, on or prior to the Closing Date, by or to Fifth Third or, after the
Closing Date, by the Administrative Agent), consented to by each of Company and Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Company, required at any time an Event of Default
shall have occurred and then be continuing); provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by
Company and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and
(B) $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Company and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans; and 

(iii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” in
connection with the assignments of the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments in connection with the initial syndication by the Lenders of the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments. 
 (d) Mechanics. Subject to the other requirements of this Section 10.6, assignments and assumptions of Term Loans shall only be effected by
manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement with the prior written consent of each of Company and Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or (y) in the case
of Company, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing). Assignments and assumptions of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative
Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms,
certificates or other 

  

 113 








 
evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to
deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c). 
 (e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery
hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience
and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the
ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of
this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). 
 (f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of
a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder
(and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date); provided, anything
contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of
Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior
involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment
occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon
Company shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning
Lender. 
 (g) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other
than Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall
not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless
such Letter of Credit is not extended 

  

 114 








 
beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or
fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in
effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be
permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Company
agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided,
(i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such participant is made with Company’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless Company is
notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed
by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by
such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no Lender, as between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no event
shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 10.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists. 
 10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements
made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20,
10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and
the termination hereof. 
  

 115 








 10.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and
independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right,
power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 
 10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any
Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred. 
 10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. 
 10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several
and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 
 10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 
  

 116 








 10.14. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 10.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR
FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE
APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED
BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/COMPANY RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS
ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL
COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS 

  

 117 








 
WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO
THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS
RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. 
 10.17. Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Company and obtained by such Agent or Lender pursuant to the
requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make
(i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Agent or Lender and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with
disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any pledge referred to in Section 10.6(i) or any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant
in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedge Agreements (provided, such
assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure
to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from
any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof
or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Agent and each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any governmental
agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information
prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and
service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 10.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed
in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding
amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate 

  

 118 








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

 10.20. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties
hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. 
 10.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Company, which information includes the name and address of Company and other information
that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Company in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 10.22.
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 10.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the
“Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of Company. Company agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or
other implied duty between the Lenders and Company or its affiliates. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand,
and Company, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith 

  

 119 








 
and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of Company, its
management, creditors or any other Person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any
Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising Company on other matters) or any other obligation to Company except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) Company has consulted its own legal
and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Company further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Company agrees that
it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
