revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based

hereunder to make its Loan on the Closing Date or the Amendment Closing Date, as applicable, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Initial Loan to be made by such other Lender on the Closing Date or the
Amendment Closing Date, as applicable. 
  

 58 








 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then,
to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to
Initial Loans hereunder and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s portion of the Initial Loans is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after the Closing Date or the Amendment Closing Date, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon accruing from the date
on which the Administrative Agent made the funds available to the Borrower at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount (exclusive of interest thereon) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of the Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this
Section 2.02(e) shall cease. If the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount (exclusive of any interest thereon) shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.03. Extended Loans; Exchange Notes. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Initial Loans may
remain outstanding as such to, but excluding, the Conversion Date, whereupon the outstanding Initial Loans shall automatically be converted, without the need for any action by any party hereto, to Extended Loans. 

(b) (i) Each Lender will have the option at any time on or after the Conversion Date to receive Exchange Notes in exchange for the
Extended Loans (or a portion thereof) of such Lender then outstanding pursuant to Section 5.08 (each such event being referred to herein as an “Exchange”); provided that Extended Loans that are PIK Election Loans may
only be exchanged for PIK Election Exchange Notes; provided further that the Borrower shall not be required to issue Exchange Notes until it shall have received Exchange Requests to issue not less than $100,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Exchange Notes; provided further that each Exchange Note shall be in respect of an Extended Loan with an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or the entire remaining
amount of any Lender’s Extended Loan). Prior to the first issuance of Exchange Notes, the Administrative Agent 

 

 59 








 
shall maintain a record of all Exchange Requests until such Exchange Requests, in the aggregate, request the issuance of Exchange Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 and shall
thereafter promptly notify the Borrower, the Trustee and any Lenders who have delivered Exchange Requests that such requests then equal or exceed such $100,000,000 amount. Upon such notification, any Lenders who have delivered Exchange Requests
shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the Exchange Date selected by such Lender, which Exchange Date will not be fewer than three Business Days after notice of the selected Exchange Date is delivered to the Borrower. 

(ii) The principal amount of the Exchange Notes will equal 100.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Loans
(or the portions thereof) for which they are exchanged and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Extended Loan Interest Rate (subject to, as applicable, the Senior Loans Total Cap or the PIK Election Loans Total Cap, without giving
effect to any PIK Margin); provided that any Lender (other than as provided in the next succeeding proviso) that elects to receive Exchange Notes in exchange for Extended Loans or Increasing Rate Exchange Notes may elect to have the interest
rate fixed at the rate per annum in effect on the date of such exchange (the resulting Exchange Note, a “Fixed Rate Exchange Note”) (it being understood that the PIK Margin will be applicable to any Fixed Rate Exchange Note in
respect of which a PIK Election is made). The Exchange Notes will rank pari passu with the Extended Loans and will have the terms set forth in the Exchange Note Indenture. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing on any date
an Exchange occurs (an “Exchange Date”), any notices given or cure periods commenced while any Loan was outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange
Notes (with the same effect as if the Exchange Notes had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof). 

(iii) In order to effect an Exchange, a Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written or telecopy
notice (an “Exchange Request”) at least ten Business Days prior to an Exchange Date (which shall be a Business Day) selected by such Lender for an Exchange in compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, together with
such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Exchange Request shall specify (A) the Lender’s legal name; (B) the Exchange Date selected by such Lender; (C) the principal amount and Class
of the Extended Loans to be exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to the applicable notice; and (D) if the Lender is electing to have the interest rate fixed pursuant to clause (ii) with respect to all or any portion of the Exchange Notes,
the principal amount of the Exchange Notes to be represented by a Fixed Rate Exchange Note. Upon receipt of an Exchange Request, the Administrative Agent shall send, on the date that is no later than five days prior to the Exchange Date specified in
such Exchange Request, written or telecopy notice of such proposed Exchange to the depositary, with a copy to the Borrower, that shall specify the information contained in such Exchange Request. Promptly upon receipt of an Exchange Note and subject
to 
  

 60 








 
the immediately following proviso, the Lender receiving such Exchange Note shall return to the Administrative Agent (for prompt delivery to the Borrower) any promissory note delivered to such
Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(e) hereof (the “Initial Promissory Note”) in respect of the Loans for which such Exchange Note was issued; provided, however, that if any Loans represented by such promissory note
are to remain outstanding after the Exchange, such Lender shall not be obligated to return the Initial Promissory Note until such Lender has received the Exchange Note and a promissory note representing the Loans that remain outstanding. 

SECTION 2.04. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, at
any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) one
Business Day prior to any date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.09. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be paid to
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided that on or after the Conversion Date, any optional prepayment pursuant to this clause (a) shall be applied pro rata among the Loans and any Exchange Notes
that are then callable at par. 
 (b) Mandatory. If, prior to the Conversion Date: 

(i) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall (1) incur any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred as permitted under Section 6.03(1)(w), (1)(x), (2), (13) or (14) (as it relates to Section 6.03(2) and (14) only) or any
Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, including additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay premiums
(including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith or (2) issue any debt securities (including any Securities issued pursuant to a Securities Demand), then an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds
thereof shall be applied promptly (but in no event later than three Business Days) after the receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Initial Loans; 

(ii) the Borrower, Holdings or any of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries shall issue any public equity
securities (other than (1) to the Equity Investors, (2) in connection with an acquisition permitted by the terms of this Agreement and (3) to employees pursuant to employee benefit plans in effect on

  

 61 








 
the Closing Date), then an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied promptly (but in no event later than ten Business Days) after the receipt thereof toward the
prepayment of the Initial Loans; or 
 (iii) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net
Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, then an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof, (subject to the restrictions set forth herein) shall be applied promptly (but not in no event later than ten Business
Days) after the receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Initial Loans; provided that if (A) prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest such
Net Proceeds in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any Related Business Assets) and (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
proposed reinvestment, and no Event of Default under clause (a) or (f) of Section 7.01 (each, a “Specified Default”) shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of proposed
reinvestment (unless, in the case of such Specified Default, such reinvestment is made pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time when no Specified Default was continuing), then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay Initial Loans
hereunder in respect of such Net Proceeds to the extent that such Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 365 days after the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds (or, within such 365 day period, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest in such Net Proceeds, and such Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after such binding commitment is so entered into); provided, however, that if any Net Proceeds are not
reinvested or applied as a repayment on or prior to the last day of the applicable application period, such Net Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days to the prepayment of the Initial Loans as set forth above (without regard to the
immediately preceding proviso); or 
 (c) If the Borrower shall optionally redeem any Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of
the Exchange Note Indenture, then the Borrower shall prepay Loans on a pro rata basis with the Exchange Notes so redeemed. 

(d) If the Loans would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of
Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of each tax accrual period beginning with the first tax accrual period ending after October 12, 2012 (each, an “AHYDO Redemption Date”), the Borrower will be required to redeem for
cash a portion of each such Loan then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount (as defined below) with respect to such accrual period (such redemption, a “Mandatory Principal Redemption”). The redemption price
for the portion of each Loan redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Principal Redemption will be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon on the date of redemption. The “Mandatory Principal Redemption
Amount” with respect to an accrual period means the portion of a Loan required to be redeemed to prevent such Loan from being treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1)
of the Code. No partial redemption or repurchase of the Loan prior to 
  

 62 








 
an AHYDO Redemption Date pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement will alter the Borrower’s obligation to make a Mandatory Principal Redemption with respect to any Loans that remain
outstanding on such AHYDO Redemption Date. 
 (e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory
prepayment hereunder at least three Business Days before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. All prepayments under this Section 2.04 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Loan pursuant to Section 2.09. 

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Extended Loan on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which such Loans are required to be repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement).
The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.06.

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of
the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any Loan exchanged for an Exchange Note. 

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (with applicable interest) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute
and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit C. Thereafter,

  

 63 








 
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in
such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05 or otherwise, in Dollars.

 SECTION 2.06. Interest and Fees. (a) (i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06(b), 2.07 and 2.08,
Initial Closing Date Senior Loans and Initial PIK Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period commencing on or after the Closing Date and ending on or before the Conversion Date, and Amendment Closing Date Senior Loans and Converted Senior
Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period commencing after the Amendment Closing Date and ending on or before the Conversion Date, in each case on the unpaid principal thereof at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of Initial Loans bearing interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the “prime rate”)) equal to
(x) with respect to any Initial Closing Date Senior Loan, the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan, (y) except as otherwise provided in subclause (A) below, with
respect to any Initial PIK Election Loan, (1) in the case of Cash Interest, the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan and (2) in the case of PIK Interest, the Eurocurrency
Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan plus the PIK Margin; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) PIK Election Loans that become Converted Senior Loans shall bear interest
(I) for each day from and including the first day of the Interest Period in which the Amendment Closing Date occurs to but excluding the Amendment Closing Date at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over
a year of 360 days) equal to the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to PIK Election Loans and (II) for each day from and including the Amendment Closing Date to but excluding the last day
of the Interest Period in which Amendment Closing Date occurs at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin applicable to Initial Senior Loans and (B) the Initial Amendment Closing Date Senior Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to
the Eurocurrency Rate then in effect for Initial Closing Date Senior Loans for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Initial Senior Loans. 

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b) and 2.08, Extended Loans shall bear interest for Interest Periods
commencing on or after the Conversion Date on the unpaid principal thereof at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) (the “Extended Loan Interest Rate”) equal to the sum of
(x) with respect to any Extended Loan that is a Senior Loan, (1) the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for the Interest Period immediately prior to the Conversion Date plus (2) the Applicable

  

 64 








 
Margin applicable to such Loan on the date immediately prior to the Conversion Date plus (3) the Conversion Spread or (y) with respect to any Extended Loan that is a PIK Election Loan,
(1) in the case of Cash Interest, (A) the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for the Interest Period immediately prior to the Conversion Date plus (B) the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan on the date immediately prior to the
Conversion Date plus (C) the Conversion Spread and (2) in the case of PIK Interest, (1) the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for the Interest Period immediately prior to the Conversion Date plus (2) the Applicable Margin applicable to
such Loan on the date immediately prior to the Conversion Date plus (3) the Conversion Spread plus (4) the PIK Margin. 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), but subject to Section 2.06(b), the per annum interest
rate borne by the Senior Loans shall not exceed, at any time, the sum of 10.75% plus any Unused Additional Cap at such time designated for such purpose in a Cap Designation Letter (the “Senior Loans Total Cap”) per annum and
the per annum interest rate borne by the PIK Election Loans shall not exceed the sum of 11.125% plus any Unused Additional Cap at such time designated for such purpose in a Cap Designation Letter (the “PIK Election Loans Total
Cap”); provided that the PIK Margin shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the PIK Election Loans Total Cap, and the PIK Election Loans Total Cap shall not limit or affect in any manner the Borrower’s
obligation to pay interest due in respect of the PIK Margin as required by Section 2.06(a)(i) and (ii). 

(iv) Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Eurocurrency Rate shall become effective as
of the opening of business on the day on which such change is announced; provided, however, that no change (other than pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) in the Eurocurrency Rate during an Interest Period shall affect the interest rate
borne by any outstanding Loan during such Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change. 

(b) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid
when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Article VII, bear interest at the rate then applicable to the outstanding Loans plus 2.0% per annum.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Senior Loans Total Cap or the PIK Election Loans Total Cap, as applicable, limit or affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay interest on overdue amounts at the rate
required to be paid by this Section 2.06(b). 
 (c) Interest on the Senior Loans shall be payable entirely in cash
(“Cash Interest”). Interest on the PIK Election Loans shall be payable, at the Borrower’s election, for any Interest Period commencing prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (i) as Cash Interest,
(ii) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Loans (“PIK Interest”) or (iii) 50% as Cash Interest and 50% as PIK Interest. 

 

 65 








 
Interest on the PIK Election Loans for the Interest Period commencing on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, will be payable entirely in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any repayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04, 6.08 or 6.09 shall be made solely in cash. Interest shall be payable on arrears on each Interest Payment Date and upon the
Maturity Date in respect of which any such interest is accruing; provided that (i) additional interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be payable from time to time in cash upon demand and (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. 

(d) With respect to the PIK Election Loans, the Borrower must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each Interest Period by
delivering a notice (the “Interest Election Notice”) to the Administrative Agent not less than 30 days prior to the beginning of the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Election Notice shall include: (i) the relevant
Interest Payment Date and (ii) whether interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date entirely as Cash Interest (a “Cash Election”), entirely as PIK Interest (a “PIK Election”) or 50% as Cash Interest and
50% as PIK Interest. Any Cash Election or PIK Election shall apply to all then outstanding PIK Election Loans and PIK Election Exchange Notes. If the Borrower does not deliver an Interest Election Notice, the interest on the PIK Election Loans will
be payable on the related Interest Payment Date in the form specified in the most recent Interest Election Notice delivered by the Borrower. 

(e) 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. 
 (f) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents,
for their own account (for distribution, if and as appropriate, to the Lenders), the fees agreed upon in the Fee Letter at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth therein. 

SECTION 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders
to make or maintain Loans at the Eurocurrency Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the affected Initial Loans will accrue interest until the Conversion Date at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

SECTION 2.08. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. (a) If any Lender
determines that as a result of 
  

 66 








 
the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost
to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.08(a) any such increased
costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.10, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender, or (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by
Section 2.08(c), then from time to time within 15 days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 9.02), the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts in cash as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation
thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s
obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the
calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 9.02), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender in cash such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction within 15 days after receipt of such demand. 
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as
such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest in the form of Cash Interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan equal to
the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to
comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed
as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable in cash on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such
notice. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to 

 

 67 








 
compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or
notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.08, then such Lender
will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable 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 2.08(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Loan Obligations of the Borrower
or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or (b). 
 SECTION 2.09. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay or borrow any
Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 
 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.09, each Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate
Loan was in fact so funded. 
 SECTION 2.10. Taxes. (a) Except as provided for in Section 9.15, any and all
payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income
(including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized
or maintains a Lending Office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such non- 
  

 68 








 
excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the
Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment
(or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to
the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent
or such Lender arising out of such failure. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for
receiving payments under this Agreement, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 2.10(b) being hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount
of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 2.10 payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the
Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 2.10(c) shall be made within ten days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand
therefor. 
 (d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.10 to pay any additional amount to, or to
indemnify, any Lender or any Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or such Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a
result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business 
  

 69 








 
of such Lender or such Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided
that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the
extent such Taxes result from a change in Law). 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender
or an Agent is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, U.S. federal withholding tax (including additions to tax,
penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax which is excluded from Taxes under this clause (e)) imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless such Lender or such
Agent, as the case may be, is subject to a lesser rate of withholding and provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon U.S. federal withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes
for periods governed by such forms for which such lesser rate applies; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to
payments under clause (a) of this Section 2.10 in respect of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include the U.S. federal withholding tax, if any, applicable
with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. 
 (f) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that
it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to receive
such refund and upon receipt of any such refund shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party
in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other
evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or such Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or such Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein
contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or such Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or such Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any
information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or such Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, relief, remissions or repayments to which
it may be entitled. 
  

 70 








 (g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation
of Section 2.10(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by
such event; provided that such efforts are 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 2.10(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Loan Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (c). 

SECTION 2.11. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under any
other Bridge Loan Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in such other Bridge Loan Document, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date
specified. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute any payments received by it, including prepayments of principal and each payment of cash interest, for the accounts of other Lenders to the relevant Lenders in like funds as received by
wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Loans to be made in
the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
 (c) Whenever any
payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any other Bridge Loan Document, when combined with any payment received by the Trustee under the Exchange Note Indenture, is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due
and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Lenders and the holders of Exchange Notes under this Agreement and the Exchange Note Indenture, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in the following order, with appropriate adjustment being made to account for any payment received by the Trustee in respect of the Exchange Notes: first, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 9.04 and amounts payable under Article II) payable to each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agents and the 
  

 71 








 
Arrangers in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Arrangers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable
to them), and to the fees and expenses due and payable to the Trustee under the Exchange Note Indenture; second, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and
interest) payable to the Lenders and the Exchange Note holders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 9.05 and amounts payable under Article II), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second
payable to them; third, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Loans and the Exchange Notes and ratably among the Lenders and Exchange Note holders
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; fourth, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and the Exchange Notes ratably among the Lenders and
Exchange Note holders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and fifth, to the payment of all other Loan Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative
Agent, the other Lenders and the Exchange Note holders on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Loan Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Exchange Note holders on such date.

 (d) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be
made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such
payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. Each Lender and the Borrower severally agrees that, if and to the extent that such payment was not in fact
made by such Lender or the Borrower, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds: 
 (i) if the
Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of
each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent
the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the
“Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry

  

 72 








 
rules on interbank compensation. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any
interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the interest
rate applicable at the time to Initial Loans hereunder. If the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent then such amount (exclusive of any interest thereon) shall constitute a reduction of such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.11 shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. 
 (e) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such
Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.02(e) and 2.11(d), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (g) Promptly upon the payment of any Loan, whether at
maturity, pursuant to Sections 2.04, 6.08, 6.09 or otherwise, any Lender receiving such payment shall return to the Administrative Agent (for prompt delivery to the Borrower) any promissory note delivered to such Lender pursuant to
Section 2.05(e); provided, however, that if any Loans represented by such promissory note are to remain outstanding after such payment, such Lender shall not be obligated to return such promissory note until such Lender has
received a promissory note representing the Loans to remain outstanding. 
 (h) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the applicable Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of the respective Commitments of such Class and shall be allocated pro rata among the applicable Lenders according to the
amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower 

 

 73 








 
shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by such Lenders; (iii) each payment of Cash Interest on Loans
by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of Cash Interest on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to such Lenders and (iv) each payment of PIK Interest and each payment
of Cash Interest on the PIK Election Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the PIK Election Loans held by such Lenders. 

SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of
the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro
rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 9.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The
Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.12 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Loan Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Loan Obligations purchased. 

SECTION 2.13. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.10 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 2.08, (ii) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to

  

 74 








 
(and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.07 (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that
(1) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.08 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
and (2) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Bridge Loan Documents. 

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.13(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (ii) deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (1) the assignee Lender shall
acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, (2) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid
in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (3) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate promissory
note(s) executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to
indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) In the event that
(i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Bridge Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in
question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent,
waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”. 
 (d) All of the Borrower’s obligations
under this Article II shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Loan Obligations hereunder. 
  

 75

that the Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities); 

(b) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or

“Permitted Debt” or (y) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case

Payment; 
 (2) the Borrower would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect

first paragraph of Section 6.03 hereof; and

than to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than, in each case, to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by
a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (10) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a dividend or other distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus 

 

 94 








 (e) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, the fair market value
of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of such merger,

extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment).

permitted transferees, assigns, estates or heirs) pursuant to the Krasny Plan, any management unit purchase agreement, management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit agreement, agreement or arrangement
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any principal and interest payable on any notes issued by the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent company in connection with any such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement),
provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made under this clause (4) does not exceed in any calendar year (x) on or prior to December 31, 2008, $40,000,000 and (y) thereafter, $50,000,000
(which, in either case, shall increase to $70,000,000 subsequent to the consummation of an underwritten Equity Offering by the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower) with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried
over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum (without giving effect to the following proviso) of $70,000,000 in any calendar year (which shall increase to $90,000,000 subsequent to the consummation of an underwritten Equity Offering by the

that (A) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Designated Preferred Stock, after giving effect to such issuance (and the
payment of dividends or distributions thereon) on a pro forma basis, the Borrower would have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0 and (B) the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid pursuant to this clause

constituting an Excluded Contribution;

such sale do not consist of cash or marketable securities, not to exceed $75,000,000 at the time of such Investment (with the fair market value of each Investment being measured at the time made and without giving effect to subsequent changes in
value); 
 (19) payments and distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law, pursuant to or

 provided,
however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (5), (6), (8), (10), (12) and (13)(v) and (vi) above, no default which, with the passage of time would be an Event of
Default, or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof. 
 The amount of
all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed 

 

 100 








 
to be transferred or issued by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be
valued by this Section 6.01 will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower. 
 As of the
Closing Date, all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the second to last sentence of the definition of
“Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so
designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the second paragraph of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be
permitted at such time under this Section 6.01 or the definition of “Permitted Investments” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of
the restrictive covenants of this Agreement. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend or distribution otherwise permitted
pursuant to this Section 6.01 may be in the form of a loan. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any (i) Restricted Payment covered in clauses (a) through (c) of the definition of Restricted Payments (including, without limitation,
any payment, dividend or distribution) to the holders of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parent companies (which shall include the Sponsor and its Affiliates) (other than (x) to the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, future, present or former employees, directors, managers or consultants of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect parent companies with respect to Equity Interests held by them in such capacities
pursuant to clause (4) and (y) a Restricted Payment made pursuant to clause (13)(i)-(iv), (ix) or (x) of the second paragraph of this Section 6.01) or (ii) Investment in the Sponsor, any Permitted Investors who are
members of a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) with the Sponsor and its Affiliates (other than to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and members of
management of the Borrower (or its direct parent)), in each case during any period beginning on the date on which the Borrower makes an election to pay PIK Interest with respect to any Interest Period and ending on the first date after such Interest
Period on which the Borrower makes a payment of Cash Interest with respect to a subsequent Interest Period. 
 SECTION 6.02.
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any
consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (1) pay dividends
or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
  

 101 








 (2) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; or 
 (3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or
by reason of: 
 (1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect (x) pursuant to the Bridge Loan
Documents, the Senior Credit Facilities, the Senior Subordinated Bridge Facility or related documents as in effect on the Closing Date or (y) on the Closing Date, including, without limitation, pursuant to Indebtedness in existence on the
Closing Date; 
 (2) (a) the Exchange Note Indenture, the Exchange Notes and Guarantees (including any notes to
be issued in exchange for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and related exchange Guarantees) and (b) the Senior Subordinated Exchange Note Indenture, the Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes and Senior Subordinated
Exchange Note Guarantees (including any notes to be issued in exchange for Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Exchange Note Registration Rights Agreement and related exchange guarantees); 

(3) purchase money obligations or other obligations described in clause (4) of the second paragraph of
Section 6.03 hereof that, in each case, impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (3) above in the first paragraph of this Section 6.02 on the property so acquired; 

(4) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order; 

(5) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at
the time of such acquisition (but not created in connection therewith or in contemplation thereof or to provide all or a portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; 

(6) contracts for the sale of assets, including without limitation, customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary
pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary; 
  

 102 








 (7) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to
Sections 6.03 and 6.06 hereof that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; 

(8) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (9) other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (i) that is a
Guarantor that is incurred subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof or (ii) that is incurred by a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof,
provided, that the terms of such agreements are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such encumbrances or restrictions than those in the Senior Credit Facilities, the Exchange Note Indenture, the Senior
Subordinated Bridge Facility, the Senior Subordinated Exchange Note Indenture or this Agreement on the Closing Date; 

(10) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of
business; 
 (11) customary provisions contained in leases, subleases, licenses or asset sale agreements and
other agreements;

first paragraph of this Section 6.02 hereof imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses
(1) through (13) above; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions imposed by such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, not materially less favorable to the Lenders than encumbrances and restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements and do not affect the Borrower’s and Guarantors’ ability, taken as
a whole, to make payments of interest and scheduled payments of principal in respect of the Loans, in each case as and when due; provided further, however, that with respect to agreements existing on the Closing Date, any
refinancings or amendments thereof contain such encumbrances or restrictions that are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in such agreements as in effect on the Closing Date. 

 

 103 








 SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock
and Preferred Stock. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or
otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the
Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and issue Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) for the Borrower’s
most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to
1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds
therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided further, that any incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Preferred Stock by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph is
subject to the limitations of set forth in the sixth paragraph of this Section 6.03. 
 The first paragraph of this
Section 6.03 will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(1) (w) the incurrence by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness pursuant to this Bridge Facility, (x) the

 (3) any
Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1) or (2) above); 

(4) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) incurred by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to finance the purchase,
construction, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a Permitted Business in an aggregate principal amount that, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding
and incurred pursuant to this clause (4) does not exceed $50,000,000 at any time outstanding so long as such Indebtedness exists at the date of such purchase, construction, lease or improvement or is created within 270 days thereafter;

 (5) Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to
letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance

such drawing or incurrence; 
 (6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for
indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-outs or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness

than by application of Interpretation Number 45 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (commonly known as FIN 45) as a result of an amendment to an obligation in existence on the Closing Date) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
(contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause

  

 105 








 
(6)) and (B) in the case of a disposition, the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds, including non-cash proceeds (the
fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value), actually received by the Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (7) and (B) if the Borrower or a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the Borrower
or such Guarantor with respect to the Loans;

 106 








 (12) (x) any guarantee by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other
obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness or other obligations incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Agreement; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its
express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary or the Borrower, as applicable, any such guarantee of such Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of
payment to such Guarantor’s Guarantee with respect to the Loans substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, and (y) any guarantee by a
Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 

(13) the incurrence by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock that serves to refund, replace or

that such Refinancing Indebtedness (A) has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the earlier of (x) the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded or
refinanced, and (y) 90 days after the Stated Maturity of any Loans then outstanding, (B) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances Subordinated Indebtedness or Indebtedness pari passu to the Loans or the
Guarantees, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the Loans or the Guarantees at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded, (C) shall not include (x) Indebtedness or

purchase of assets or the purchase of Capital Stock of, or merger or consolidation with, any Person owning such assets); provided, that after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness (x) the Borrower would be permitted to
incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge 
  

 107

immediately prior to such acquisition; 
 (15) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or financial institution of a

Undertakings); 
 (18) Indebtedness consisting of promissory notes issued by the Borrower or any Guarantor to current or former
officers, directors, consultants and employees, their respective estates, spouses, former spouses, heirs or family members to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parent companies
permitted by Section 6.01 hereof; 
 (19) Contribution Indebtedness (it being understood that any Contribution Indebtedness
issued pursuant to this clause (19) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (19) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of the first paragraph of this Section 6.03 hereof from and
after the first date on which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Contribution Indebtedness under the first paragraph of this Section 6.03 hereof without reliance on this clause (19)); 

(20) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the proceeds of such Indebtedness are deposited and used to
defease the Exchange Notes as described in Article VIII of the Exchange Note Indenture; 
 (21) Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business; 

(22) cash management obligations and Indebtedness in respect of netting services, overdraft facilities, employee credit card programs,

Arrangement at all times equals or exceeds the total amount of overdrafts that may be subject to such Cash Pooling Arrangements; 
  

 108 








 (23) Indebtedness representing deferred compensation to employees of the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of business; and 
 (24) Indebtedness under (x) the Existing
Inventory Financing Agreements and (y) other inventory financing agreements which, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness outstanding and incurred pursuant to clause (x) and this clause (y), does not at any one
time outstanding exceed $400,000,000. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.03 in the event that an
item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (24) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.03, the
Borrower will be permitted to classify and later reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 6.03, and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such
categories. Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness (including PIK Interest) or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 6.03 and Section 6.06 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under the Bridge Facility, the Senior Subordinated Bridge Facility, the Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Facility and the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility outstanding on the Closing Date will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and any
such Indebtedness that was outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as of the Closing Date may not later be reclassified. Additionally, all or any portion of any other item of Indebtedness may later be reclassified as having
been incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.03 or under any category of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (24) above so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision
at the time of reclassification. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided,
however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a currency agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such
Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such currency agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of
the Indebtedness being refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a currency agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding
sentence, and (2) the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such
refinancing Indebtedness is incurred. The maximum amount of Indebtedness that the 
  

 109 








 
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of
fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 
 The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that
is a Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Loans to the
extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Loans. Indebtedness shall not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment by virtue of
being secured to a greater or lesser extent or with different priority. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the first paragraph of this Section 6.03 or in the definition of Permitted Debt, no Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a subsidiary Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness or issue any Preferred Stock in reliance on the first
paragraph of this Section 6.03 or clause (14) of the definition of Permitted Debt (the “Limited Non-Guarantor Debt Exceptions”) if the amount of such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock, when aggregated with the amount of all
other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock outstanding under such Limited Non-Guarantor Debt Exceptions, together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, would exceed the greater of (i) $100,000,000 and (ii) 5.0% of Total Net
Tangible Assets of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries; provided, that in no event shall any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (x) existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary or
(y) assumed in connection with any acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests of a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary (and in the case of clauses (x) and (y), not created in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted
Subsidiary or such acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests) be deemed to be Indebtedness outstanding under the Limited Non-Guarantor Debt Exceptions for purposes of this paragraph. 

SECTION 6.04. Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset
Sale unless: 
 (1) the Borrower (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at
the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the
form of cash or Cash Equivalents. 
  

 110 








 For purposes of clause (2) above, the amount of (i) any liabilities other than
contingent liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms
subordinated to the Loans or the Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Borrower and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by the applicable creditor(s) in writing, (ii) any
securities received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset
Sale, (iii) any assets described in clauses (2) or (3) below, and (iv) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iv) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of
(x) $75,000,000 and (y) an amount equal to 2% of Total Assets of the Borrower on the date on which such Designated Non-cash Consideration is received (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being
measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this paragraph and for no other purpose. 

The Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Asset Sale occurring prior to the Conversion Date shall be applied as set forth in
Section 2.04(b)(iii). With respect to any Asset Sale occurring on or after the Conversion Date, within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from such an Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may

 (a) apply those Net Proceeds at its option: 

(1) (i) to reduce or fulfill Obligations under Secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and to
correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (ii) to reduce Obligations under Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower of another Restricted Subsidiary) and
(iii) to reduce or fulfill Obligations under Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto (provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under unsecured
Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Borrower will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Loans); 
 (2)
to an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital
Stock of such business such that such business constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) other non-current assets, in each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Permitted Business; and/or 

 

 111 








 (3) to an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided
that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that such business constitutes a Restricted
Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or 

(b) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (a)(1), (2) or (3) above,
provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated, and
(y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period. 
 Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale
occurring on or after the Conversion Date not applied or invested in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that
if during such 365-day period the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive binding agreement committing it to apply such Net Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clause (2) or (3) of the immediately preceding
paragraph after such 365th day, such 365-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Proceeds so committed for a period not to exceed 180 days until such Net Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement
(or, if earlier, until termination of such agreement). 
 When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25,000,000, the
Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Lenders and, if required by the terms of any Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness,
on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Loans and such other Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. 

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving
credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. 
 If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans
prepaid with such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess 
  

 112 








 
Proceeds, the Administrative Agent will select the Loans to be prepaid on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

 SECTION 6.05. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of,
any Affiliate of the Borrower (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10,000,000, unless: 

(A) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or the relevant
Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and 

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $25,000,000, a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (and, if any, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Borrower with respect to such Affiliate Transaction) have determined
in good faith that the criteria set forth in the immediately preceding clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a Board Resolution. 

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior
paragraph: 
 (1) any transaction with the Borrower, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity
which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; 

(2) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments permitted by this Agreement; 

(3) the payment to the Sponsor and any of its officers or Affiliates by the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, of management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees, termination or indemnification payments and related reasonable expenses pursuant to the Sponsor Management Agreement and as in effect on the Closing Date or any amendment thereto
(so long as any such amendment (x) does not increase the amount of fees payable to the Sponsor and (y) is not, taken as a whole, less advantageous to the Lenders in any material respect than the Sponsor Management Agreement) or other
agreements as in effect on the Closing Date that are entered into in connection with the Transactions and as in effect on the Closing Date or any amendment thereto (so 

 

 113 








 
long as any such amendment is not, taken as a whole, less advantageous to the Lenders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date); 

(4) payments in respect of employment, severance and any other compensation arrangements with, and fees and expenses paid
to, and indemnities provided on behalf of (and entering into related agreements with) officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies, or any Restricted Subsidiary, in the ordinary course
of business and made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or senior management thereof; 
 (5)
payments made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Sponsor for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation, in connection
with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (and, if any, a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Borrower with respect to such Affiliate
Transaction) in good faith; 
 (6) transactions in which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to
the Administrative Agent a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of this first paragraph of this
Section 6.05; 
 (7) payments or loans (or cancellations of loans) to employees or consultants of the
Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any Restricted Subsidiary which are approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith and which are otherwise permitted under this Agreement; 

(8) payments made or performance under any agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (other than the Sponsor Management
Agreement (which are permitted under clause (3) of the second paragraph of this Section 6.05), but including, without limitation, each of the other agreements entered into in connection with the Transactions) that are disclosed in
Schedule 6.05 hereto, including with additional parties that may be added subsequent to the Closing Date and any amendment thereto to the extent such an amendment is not adverse to the interests of the Lenders in any material respect;

 (9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services (including
Holdings and its Subsidiaries), in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement that are fair to the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the members
of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as would reasonably have been entered into at such time with an unaffiliated party; 

 

 114 








 (10) if otherwise permitted hereunder, the issuance of Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower to any Permitted Investor, any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates of the Borrower (other than a Subsidiary); 

(11) any transaction permitted by Section 6.08 hereof; 

(12) any transaction with a Receivables Subsidiary effected as part of a Receivables Facility; 

(13) the Transactions and the payment of the Transaction Expenses;

arrangements among Holdings and its subsidiaries on customary terms (including, without limitation, transfer pricing initiatives); and 

(15) transactions among Foreign Subsidiaries for tax planning and tax efficiency purposes. 

SECTION 6.06. Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset or property of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary securing Indebtedness unless the Loans are equally and ratably secured with the obligations so secured until such time as such
obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. The preceding sentence will not require the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to secure the Loans if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien. Any Lien that is granted to secure the Loans or the
Guarantees under this Section 6.06 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Loans or such Guarantee under this Section 6.06. 

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Business Activities. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage
in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Bridge Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement
or any other Bridge Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Bridge Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term
“agent” herein and in the other Bridge Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is
used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(b) The bank serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.02. Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any 
  


 125 








 
agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent (as determined in the final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). 
 SECTION 8.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or Participant for any
recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Bridge Loan Document or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, or the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Bridge Loan Document
or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant 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 Bridge Loan Document or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes. 

SECTION 8.04. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement 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 any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the such Agent. Each
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Bridge Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
 (b) For purposes of
determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article IV, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have 

 

 126 








 
consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 

SECTION 8.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent
will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any
Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Bridge Loan Document, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Article VII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.06. Credit Decision;
Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent or Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any consent to and
acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether
Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or
other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 Bridge Loan Documents and the Exchange Note Indenture and the Exchange Notes, and to make such 

 

 127 








 
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

SECTION 8.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall
indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against
any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be required by the Bridge Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any
Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 8.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent
upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture, the Exchange Notes or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s
continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 8.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Loan Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 SECTION 8.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. JPMCB and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of
credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and its Affiliates as though JPMCB were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, JPMCB or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality 
  

 128 








 
obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its
Loans, JPMCB shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include
JPMCB in its individual capacity. 
 SECTION 8.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the
Administrative Agent at any time upon notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (a) the date that is 30 days after such notice and (b) the appointment of a successor agent as provided
in this paragraph. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other
than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.03(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective
date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent
hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”, shall mean such successor administrative agent and the
retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article VIII and Sections 9.04 and 9.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
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. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Bridge Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.10.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and 

 

 129 








 
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Loan Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06(f) and 9.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06(f) and 9.04.

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Loan Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding. 
 SECTION 8.11. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the
facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “sole bookrunner” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and
will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Bridge
Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of
litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Bridge Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the 

 

 130 








 
Bridge Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted
herein or in any of the other Bridge Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by
the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a
“Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans, (i) each and
every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Bridge Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Loans shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Loans and to perform such duties
with respect to such Loans, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Bridge Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the
Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VIII and of Sections 9.04 and 9.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the
Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent. 

ARTICLE IX 

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 9.01. Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document (including any waiver of a Default or Event of Default), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be

  

 131 








 
effective unless, in this case of this Agreement, in writing signed by the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors, or, in the case of any other such Bridge Loan Document, in writing by
the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties party thereto, in each case, with the consent of the Required Lenders. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment
of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any
Commitment of any Lender); 
 (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of
principal or interest under Section 2.05 or 2.06 or any fees hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the
Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 
 (c)
reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest, the Applicable Margin, the Conversion Spread or PIK Margin specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (i) of the second succeeding proviso to this Section 9.01) any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of
“Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate; 
 (d)
extend the Conversion Date or the Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(e) place additional restrictions on the right to exchange Extended Loans for Exchange Notes or modify the rate of such
exchange without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (f) change any provision of the Exchange
Note Indenture that requires (or would require if any Exchange Notes were outstanding) the approval of all holders of Exchange Notes without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 

(g) change any provision of this Section 9.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata
Share”, Section 2.11(h), Section 2.12 or Section 7.06 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
  

 132 








 (h) other than as provided under Section 10.06, release all of
substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (i)
change the currency in which any Loan is denominated without the written consent of each Lender holding such Loan; or 

(j) amend the definition of the term “Interest Period” so as to permit intervals in excess of three months
without regard to availability to all Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 and provided
further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document and (ii) Section 9.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being
funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that
the expiration of the Commitment of such Lender may not be postponed without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders
hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01, the Administrative Agent, without the consent of the Required Lenders, may, but shall have no obligation to, amend
Section 2.06(a)(iii) of this Agreement to reflect in percentage terms the Senior Loans Total Cap and the PIK Election Loans Total Cap in effect from time to time. 

The Administrative Agent will provide to the Trustee a copy of each amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01, guarantees and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in
connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower
without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or
(iii) to cause such Guarantee or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents. 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no amendment or waiver of any provision of the Exchange Note Indenture shall be effective without
the consent of the Lenders and the holders of Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 of the Exchange Note Indenture. 
  

 133 








 SECTION 9.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable
telephone number, as follows: 
 (i) if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile

the other parties; and 
 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address
or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the
relevant party hereto and (ii) (1) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (2) if delivered by mail, four Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (3) if
delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (4) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(c)), when delivered; provided that notices
and other communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

 (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Bridge Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by
facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents
and the Lenders. 
 (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to
rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein,
or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance
by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the
parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
  

 134 








 SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes 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, and provided under each other Bridge Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

SECTION 9.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other
Bridge Loan Documents, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP and one local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to pay or
reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement
or the other Bridge Loan Documents, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs
of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable, in the case of Section 9.04(a), and all other documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in
Section 2.06(e) and this Section 9.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Loan Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 9.04 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by
the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party or Guarantor fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Bridge Loan Document, the
Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 

SECTION 9.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, 

 

 135 








 
expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating
to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes or any other agreement, letter or instrument
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or
defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether
or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent
or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of the Bridge Loan Documents, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or
attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with
this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange
Notes or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.05 applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party
thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Bridge Loan Documents, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be paid
within ten Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to
indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 9.05. The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any
Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Loan Obligations. 
  

 136 








 SECTION 9.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 
 SECTION
9.07. Successors and Assigns. (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 none of Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
Section 9.07(g), (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.07(h) or (v) by way of assignment in accordance with Section 9.07(b) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be
null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 9.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees
(“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of, until the Conversion Date, the Borrower, if any assignment will result in the Initial Lenders holding less than 50.1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Initial Loans; provided that no
such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (f) or Section 7.03(a), (b), (f) or (g), as applicable, has occurred and is continuing; 

 

 137 








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

 (1) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (A) no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (f) or Section 7.03(a), (b), (f) or (g), as applicable, has occurred and is continuing and (B) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (2) 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 

(3) 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 (as defined in the Administrative Questionnaire) to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties 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. 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 2.08, 2.09 and 2.10 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its promissory note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a promissory note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 9.07(e). 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each 
  

 138 








 
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 amounts (and related interest
amounts) 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, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall
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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower (but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent), sell participations (“Participations”) to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a Participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents and the Exchange Note Indenture and the Exchange Notes and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other
Bridge Loan Documents and the Exchange Note Indenture and the Exchange Notes; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in the first proviso to Section 9.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 (subject to
the requirements of Section 9.15), 2.08 and 2.09 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.12 as though it were a Lender. 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08, 2.09 or 2.10 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. 

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its promissory note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  

 139 








 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing prior to the Closing Date by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to
provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if
an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant
to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 2.08, 2.09 or 2.10,
(ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or
other modification of any provision of any Bridge Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made
by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive
payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee
or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any
Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the promissory note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any
portion of the Loans owing to it and the promissory note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until
such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Bridge Loan Documents and (ii) such
trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Bridge Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

SECTION 9.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to
not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any
Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this 

 

 140 








 
Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any
pledgee referred to in Section 9.07(g) or 9.07(i), counterparty to a Hedging Obligation, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement;
(f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake
to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document, or the Exchange Note
Indenture or the Exchange Notes or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document, or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the
Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection
with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents, or the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes, the Commitments, and the Borrowing. For the purposes of this Section 9.08,
“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08; provided that, in the
case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or is delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.02 hereof. 

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.08 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE
SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE LOAN PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE
COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED 

 

 141 








 
PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE LOAN PARTIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT
CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 

SECTION 9.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on
behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at
any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Loan Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other
Bridge Loan Document now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made a demand under this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document and although such Loan Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any
deposits held or other Indebtedness owning by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.10. Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Bridge Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Bridge Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Loan Obligations hereunder. 
  

 142 








 SECTION 9.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Bridge Loan Document may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each
other Bridge Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Bridge Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be
confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier. 

SECTION 9.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement
of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Bridge Loan Document,
the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Bridge Loan Document, the Exchange Note Indenture or the Exchange Notes shall
not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Bridge Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the
fair meaning thereof. 
 SECTION 9.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made hereunder and in any other Bridge Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have
been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the
time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Loan Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

SECTION 9.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Bridge Loan Documents, the Exchange Note Indenture or
the Exchange Notes is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.15. Tax Forms. (a) (i) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include reference to the Administrative Agent if it is not a “United States person”) shall, to the extent it may
lawfully do so, 
  

 143 








 
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date which is ten Business Days after the Closing Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly
signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign
Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States
federal withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the
Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so,
(A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available
exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Bridge Loan Document, in each case,
(1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or
evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any change in the Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion
of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Bridge Loan Documents, shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion),
(A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid 

 

 144 








 
or payable with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States federal withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS
Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Foreign Lender is required to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is
not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender. 

(iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity payment under Section 2.10 to
(A) any Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.15(a), or (B) any U.S. Lender if such U.S. Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of
Section 9.15(b); provided that (i) if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this or Section 9.15(b), as applicable, on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any
payment under any of the Bridge Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 9.15(a) or Section 9.15(b) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 2.10 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 or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Bridge Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate
and (ii) nothing in this Section 9.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.10 in the event that the requirements of 9.15(a)(ii) have not been satisfied if the Borrower is entitled,
under applicable Law, to rely on any applicable forms and statements required to be provided under this Section 9.15 by the Foreign Lender that does not act or has ceased to act for its own account under any of the Loan Documents. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any
payment under any of the Bridge Loan Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning
of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender” which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include reference to the Administrative Agent if it is a “United States person”) shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor thereto, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing
Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such
forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

 ARTICLE X 

Guarantees 

SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly with the
other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Lender and to the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of the Loan Obligations when due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace
periods of all other Loan Obligations (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in
part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. 

 

 147 








 (b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the
Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of acceptance of its Guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default on the Guaranteed Obligations. The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person (including any
Guarantor) under this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions
of this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement; (iv) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) except
as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. 
 (c) Each Guarantor further agrees that its
Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any balance of any
deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person. 

(d) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 10.01(f) and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement, by (ii) any
recession, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any thereof, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement,
(iii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iv) 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 such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 (e)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof from any
cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The Administrative Agent and the other Lenders may, at their election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other
accommodation with the Borrower or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or 
  

 148 








 
remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed
Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law,
to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, as the case may be. 

(f) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, hereby confirms that it is
the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guarantee and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other
Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (g) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Bridge Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Agreement are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

(h) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at
any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor
or otherwise. 
 (i) In furtherance of the foregoing clauses (a) through (h) and not in limitation of any other right
which any Lender or the Administrative Agent has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash,
to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 
  

 149 








 (j) Each Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VII, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section. 
 (k) Each
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Section. 

(l) Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other

other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which

unconditionally released and discharged from its obligations under this Article X (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07) upon: 

(1) (a) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor

result of payment under such guarantee; and 
 (2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an officer’s
certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with. 

SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all
Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such
payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

of this Agreement, hereby confirms and ratifies that all of its obligations as a Guarantor shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as amended by
