Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon making such determination the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof.

 (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue

elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve
Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each
such change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations
used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a). 
 2.10 Inability to
Determine Interest Rate. 
 If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or 

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or
to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 

  
 30 









 the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof confirmed in writing to the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders promptly thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such
notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 

2.11 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
 (a) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Loans shall be applied to reduce pro rata the then remaining installments of the Loans. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be
reborrowed. 
 (b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 8.7. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment date into another calendar month, in which event such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender
will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under
this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum that would have been payable by such Lender under this Section 2.11(c), on demand, from the Borrower. 

  
 31 









 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower
prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative
Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 

2.12 Requirements of Law. 
 (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
 (i)
shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by
Section 2.13 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender); 
 (ii) shall impose,
modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is
to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case,
the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender
or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the later of (i) the date hereof or (ii) the
date such Lender became a party hereto, shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, upon
at least 60 days’ prior written notice, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written request therefor setting forth in reasonable 

  
 32 









 
detail the amount payable and the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.12(b) and including reasonable supporting documentation authenticating
the claim, which written statement shall be made within 180 days of the date such Lender became aware of such additional amount or amounts. The Borrower shall not be liable for any additional amount or amounts prior to such notice. The Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. 
 (c) A written statement as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section and delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(b) submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such
nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
 2.13 Taxes. 
 (a) Subject to the other provisions of Section 2.13, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall, except as required by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided, that, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to provide to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) an amounts equal to the sum the Administrative Agent or such Lender would
have received had no such withholding or deductions for Non-Excluded Taxes been made. With respect to any Other Taxes for which the Borrower fails to make a payment pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.13(a), the Lender or
Administrative Agent entitled to such amounts shall deliver to the Borrower (in the case of a Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written request therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable and the basis for
calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender or Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13(a) and including reasonable supporting documentation authenticating the claim (provided, however, the Lender or Administrative
Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation or make any disclosures that it considers to be confidential), which written statement shall be made within 180 days of the date such Lender or Administrative Agent became aware of such
additional amount or amounts. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible
thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If
the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 

  
 33 









 (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased)
two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption
from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver. If any Lender fails to provide the certifications described in this paragraph, such Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower and/or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any payment
otherwise due to such Lender the amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority to the extent required by law. 
 (e)
A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion,
execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit in lieu of a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 2.13 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender that are attributable to the receipt of such refund or credit,
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 34 









 2.14 Eurodollar Breakage Indemnity. 

The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any actual loss or out-of-pocket expense that
such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making
of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A calculation as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.15 Change of Lending Office. 
 Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.12 or 2.13(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its
lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a). 
 2.16 Replacement of Lenders. 

The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 2.12 or 2.13(a), (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained); provided that (i) such replacement
does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under
Section 2.15 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced
Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender for actual losses and out-of-pocket expenses, if any, due under Section 2.14 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall
be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make
such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be
consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

  
 35 









 2.17 Incremental Term Facility. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (on one or more occasions), by notice to the Administrative
Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), without having to seek consent from the Lenders, request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Loans”);
provided that (i) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Loan is made (and
immediately after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and (ii) the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio, determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recent Fiscal Quarter for
which financial statements are available (but based on Consolidated Senior Secured Debt at the time of and after giving effect to such Incremental Loans and any other transaction in connection therewith) shall not exceed the Required Consolidated
Senior Secured Debt Ratio. Each tranche of Incremental Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining
availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of all tranches of Incremental Loans shall not exceed $75,000,000; provided that such amount may be increased by the
lesser of $25,000,000 and the aggregate amount of unused Delayed Draw Loan Commitments as of the Delayed Draw Termination Date. The Incremental Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Initial
Loans, (B) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date and shall have a weighted average life to maturity (pursuant to such amortization schedules as may be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof) that is no shorter than the
then-remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Loans (as the aggregate amount thereof may have been reduced and as the scheduled amortization thereof may have been modified as of such date), (C) except as set forth above, shall
be treated substantially the same as the Initial Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), and (D) will accrue interest at rates determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental
Loans, which rates may be higher or lower than the rates applicable to the Initial Loans. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the Incremental Loans and demonstrate
compliance with the conditions set forth in clause (ii) of the proviso above. Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (and each existing Lender will have the right to make a portion of any Incremental Loan) or by any other bank or
other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that such Additional Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Loans, if such consent would be required under Section 9.6 for an assignment of Loans
to such Lender or Additional Lender. Incremental Loans shall become Loans under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, such other Loan Documents as are necessary, executed by the
Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions and intent of this Section and the application of the proceeds thereof. The effectiveness of any Incremental
Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental
Loans, unless it so agrees. The Borrower may use the proceeds of each tranche of Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement unless otherwise agreed in connection with such Incremental Loans. 

2.18 Delayed Draw Commitment Fee. 
 The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a Delayed Draw Loan Commitment a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing


  
 36 









 
Date to but not including the earlier of (x) the date on which all Delayed Draw Loan Commitments have been terminated and (y) the date on which all Delayed Draw Loan Commitments have
expired, computed at the following rate per annum: (i) from and including the Closing Date to but not including the date that is six months after the Closing Date, 1.125% and (ii) thereafter, 1.50%, in each case on the unused Delayed Draw
Loan Commitment of such Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each first day of April, July, October, January, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. 

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

 3.1 Financial Condition. 
 (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries as at April 1, 2007 (the “Pro Forma Balance
Sheet”), a copy of which has heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Refinancing, (ii) the Initial Loans
to be made on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower as
of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries as at April 1, 2007, assuming that the events specified in the
preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. 
 (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as at
December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the Fiscal Year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as at
April 1, 2007, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the thirteen-week period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as at
such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the thirteen-week period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any
Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction
or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that should be and are not reflected under GAAP in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2006 to and including the date hereof
there has been no Asset Sale by the Borrower or any Group Member of any material part of its business or property. 
 3.2 No
Change. 
 Since December 31, 2006, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 37 









 3.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. 

Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

3.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. 
 Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain
extensions of credit hereunder. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower,
to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection
with the Refinancing and the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices
described in Schedule 3.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 3.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each of the Borrower and the Guarantors party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Borrower and the Guarantors
party thereto, enforceable against each of the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 3.5 No Legal Bar. 
 The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member except as would not individually or in the aggregate
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual
Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Revolving Facility Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.6 Litigation. 

No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


  
 38 









 3.7 No Default. 

No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 3.8 Ownership
of Property; Liens. 
 Each Group Member has title in fee simple to all its owned real property, and good title to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.2 and except for such defects of title as would not in whole or in part reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.9 Intellectual Property. 

Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted, except for defects as would not in whole or in part reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9, no material claim has been asserted and is pending against any Group Member by any Person
challenging or questioning (i) the use by any Group Member of any of their material Intellectual Property or (ii) the validity of any Registered Intellectual Property owned by such Group Member. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of
Registered Intellectual Property owned by any Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 
 3.10 Taxes. 
 Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all
Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees
or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any of which the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such material tax, fee or other charge.

 3.11 Federal Regulations. 
 No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used (a) for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective
meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the
Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form
U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
 3.12 Labor Matters. 

Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other
labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other
applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.


  
 39 









 3.13 ERISA. 
 Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), and, on and after the effectiveness of the
Pension Act, no failure by any Plan to satisfy the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan, whether or not waived, has occurred during the five-year period
prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, in each case other than as described on
Schedule 3.13. On and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, there has been no determination that any Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA) during such five-year period. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.13, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation
is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such
five-year period, in each case other than as described on Schedule 3.13. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity is party to a Multiemployer Plan. 
 3.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. 
 None of the Borrower or
any Guarantor is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. None of the Borrower or any Guarantor is subject to
regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 

3.15 Subsidiaries. 
 Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Closing Date or as set forth on Schedule 3.15, (a) Schedule 3.15 sets forth the name and
jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each of the Borrower and the Guarantors and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants,
calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as created by

attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. 
 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 
 Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted
to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Group Member or any officer
thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Group Member a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Group Member. 
 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be 

  
 62 









 
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if
so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 

8.5 Notice of Default. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders);
provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 8.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other
Lenders. 
 Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors,
partners, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any affiliate of a Group
Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates and made its own decision to
make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness
of any Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

8.7 Indemnification. 
 The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, partners, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the


  
 63 









 
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on
which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date),
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee or its Related Persons (if any). The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

8.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. 
 Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Group Member as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans
made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and
“Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

 The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an
Event of Default under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such
successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative
Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit. 
 8.10 Syndication Agent. 
 The Syndication Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 

  
 64 









 SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS 

9.1 Amendments and Waivers. 
 Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required
Lenders and each Group Member party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Group Member party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter
into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Group
Members hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date
of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date or reduce the amount of any amortization payment in respect of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this
Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in
each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage
specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or
release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 8 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each
of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Group Members, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Group Members, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately
the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all
outstanding Loans (“Replaced Loans”) with a replacement term loan hereunder (“Replacement Loans”), 

  
 65 









 
provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for
such Replacement Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Replaced Loans and (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such
Replaced Loans at the time of such refinancing. 
 Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, including this
Section 9.1, and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to Section 2.17 in order to add any tranche of Incremental Loans to this Agreement and (i) to permit the Incremental Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement (including the rights of the Additional Lenders in respect of such tranche of Incremental Loans to share ratably with the Initial Loans in prepayments pursuant to Section 2.5) and the
other Loan Documents with the Initial Loans, (ii) to include appropriately such Additional Lenders in any determination of the Required Lenders and (iii) to amend other provisions of the Loan Documents so that such tranche of Incremental
Loans is appropriately incorporated (including this Section 9.1).

procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all
their reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable, documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time
thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction in which property is located
and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arrangers and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay
in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents to the extent, in the case of this clause (c), payable under and in accordance with
Section 2.13, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arrangers and the Agents and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, 

  
 67 









 
affiliates, agents, advisors, trustees and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such
other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties
and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Group Member under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons (if any). Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees
not to assert and to cause the Restricted Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this

The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 9.6
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an
assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

  
 68 









 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the
assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and 
 (C) the
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material
non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.6, “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by
(a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be
a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in 

  
 69 









 
paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to
Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.12 or 2.13 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 the Borrower’s prior
written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless such Participant is able to comply and in fact complies with Section 2.13(d). 

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its
designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 9.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will
not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one
day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party
hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 

  
 70 









 9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. 

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be
allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.6), or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to
each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. 
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.
